Sedation Dentistry
Sedation Dentistry
For many people, even the thought of visiting the dentist can cause anxiety. Sedation Dentistry in Abbeville offers an option for those who want a calm, anxiety-free visit. We know your past dental experiences shape how you feel in the chair today. Our team will help you feel at ease, step by step. At Dr. Lance Savoie Family Dental, we strive to make dentistry accessible to everyone—a guiding principle that informs every aspect of our practice, from our gentle approach to our patient-first amenities. Want a smoother visit? Sedation could be the answer.
How Our Sedation Dentistry in Abbeville Works
We design our sedation dentistry in Abbeville to ensure your comfort throughout your dental care. We offer relaxing options that allow you to stay calm yet aware, or help you drift into an even deeper level of relaxation—whichever best suits your needs and treatment. Before your appointment, we’ll discuss your health history, walk you through what to expect, and help you choose the sedation method that best suits your needs. The goal: a positive experience, from start to finish. You’ll still be able to respond to our team, but many patients find they hardly remember the procedure itself. That’s a win in our book.
Who Benefits From Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation isn’t just for those with high anxiety—lots of patients ask for it, and for good reason. It’s helpful if you:
- Have a strong gag reflex or sensitive teeth
- Need extensive treatment or multiple procedures in one visit
- Struggle to get numb with local anesthesia alone
- Find it tough to sit still for long periods
- Experience dental anxiety or fear
Even children or adults with special healthcare needs may find that sedation makes a huge difference. Let us know what concerns you most about dental visits, and we’ll help you decide if sedation is a good fit.

Common Questions About Sedation
Curious about what’s involved? These are a few things our patients ask most often about sedation:
- Will I be fully asleep? Most options keep you relaxed but awake, though you may feel drowsy.
- Is sedation safe? Yes. We constantly check your breathing, pulse, and comfort from start to finish.
- How long does it last? Effects wear off within a few hours, with most people back to normal quickly.
- Can I drive home after? For most sedation methods, you’ll need a friend or family member to drive.
- Is it available for kids and adults? Both! We tailor the type of sedation to each patient’s needs.
