Enjoy a Super Sweet Dental Visit
Sedation Dentistry Chicago
Many people choose to not visit the dentist because of a dental phobia. Avoiding regular dental treatment often exacerbates minor dental problems, even to the point where drastic measures such as tooth extraction become necessary. However, with sedation dentistry, Dr. Jessica T. Emery of Sugar Fix Dental Loft in Chicago, Illinois, can now treat many patients who have neglected their dental health for years because of anxiety. Dr. Emery has received special training in outstanding patient care from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry (LVI) and is a certified member of DOCs Education, an accredited program. She understands that a lot of people do not enjoy visiting the dentist, and therefore aims to provide a serene - even delightful -experience for everyone. As our top priority is caring for your smile, we will do everything possible to alleviate any unwanted stress. We do not take it personally if you don’t like visiting the dentist; we will just work harder to make sure that you do return for necessary appointments.
Sedation dentistry addresses this very common dental phobia, and is a great way to eliminate the worry associated with dental procedures. The sedation methods we use are safe and effective, allowing you to be relaxed and anxiety-free during any dental procedure.

What is sedation dentistry?
As the name suggests, it is a technique used by a trained dentist to create a calm experience for people receiving dental care. Dr. Emery administers a sedative that won’t render you totally unconscious, but will relax you.
Oral Conscious Sedation
For this type of sedation, you will be given a pill to take at home, about an hour before your procedure. Someone will need to drive you to and from our office, since the pill will make you very drowsy. You won’t be unconscious, but you will feel very relaxed. At the completion of your treatment, you will probably fall asleep for a few hours. When you wake up, you will feel refreshed and have little or no memory of your treatment.
This technique is safe, and most patients love it because they often feel that the procedure lasts only a few minutes when in fact, Dr. Emery has had the opportunity to complete numerous treatments.
