At Heritage Trace Dental, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent you from getting essential care. That’s why we offer oral sedation options to help you feel completely at ease during your visit. Our caring dental team, led by Dr. Cross, creates a calm, judgment-free environment where anxious patients can receive the dental care they need without stress or fear. We’re committed to making every visit comfortable, safe, and positive.
Oral Sedation
Our oral sedation option provides a moderate level of relaxation through prescribed medication taken before your appointment. This safe, effective approach helps reduce anxiety while keeping you conscious and able to respond to instructions. You’ll feel deeply relaxed throughout your treatment, with little to no memory of the procedure afterward.

Sedation Treatment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your anxiety levels and medical history. We’ll explain how oral sedation works and help you decide if it’s right for you. Before your procedure, you’ll receive detailed instructions about taking the prescribed medication. A friend or family member must drive you to and from your appointment for safety.
During your visit, our experienced team will continuously monitor you while the sedation helps you remain calm and comfortable. The medication’s amnestic effect means you’ll have little memory of the procedure, though you’ll be able to respond to instructions. After treatment, you’ll rest briefly in our office before your companion drives you home to recover.
