The first step in the sedation dentistry process is a thorough consultation and evaluation with Dr. Lamprecht. During this meeting, he will discuss your dental history, your fears and anxieties, and the different sedation options available. He will also conduct a physical examination and review your medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for sedation dentistry.
Once you are cleared for sedation dentistry, the next step involves preparing for the procedure. This includes understanding the type of sedation you will receive and any necessary preparations. Dr. Lamprecht and his team will provide detailed instructions, such as whether you need to fast before the procedure and arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
On the day of the procedure, you will receive the sedative in a comfortable, controlled environment. Depending on the type of sedation, you may be awake but relaxed, or you may sleep through the procedure. Dr. Lamprecht and his team will monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.
