Q: Will I be asleep?
A: Dr. Atlas uses a well-recognized anesthetic technique known as "sedation analgesia" or "conscious sedation." This technique allows patients to be extremely comfortable and sedated. Patients, who have previously been unable to tolerate any dentistry, have been delighted with "waking up" and knowing that their procedure has been completed.
