Q: Will I really be totally relaxed?
A: You’ll receive enough sedation so that you’ll be completely unaware of the treatment, as you would if you were asleep.
Q: Will I remember anything?
A: At the end of the treatment, you’ll have little or no memore of your dental visit.
Q: Will I feel any pain?
A: Most patients feel no discomfort whatsoever during their treatment and feel surprisingly good afterward. Local anesthetic is used in addition to the sedation drugs.
Q: Is Sedation Dentistry safe for me?
A: Before starting any treatments, we review your medical history, and we monitor you very closely while your under sedation.
Q: Will my insurance cover treatment?
A: We’ll review your insurance coverage and, if necessary, make financial arrangements to insure you get the dental care you need.
We’ll be happy to explain the details and benefits of Sedation Dentistry.

ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF GOOD HEALTH AND A BEAUTIFUL SMILE!
Sedation dentistry protocols have been safely used for over 30 years with millins of dental procedures. Before starting any treatments, we review you medical history and explain how sedation dentistry can work for you. We want you to feel good about going forward towards a healthy, new smile.
The night before the procedure, you will take medication - a pill, that will ensure a good nights sleep. The morning of your appointment we will make sure that you are very comfortable and we monitor your vital signs very closely with the latest equipment. An IV is started, and the medication is administered to sedate you for your appointment. Many patientst feel no discomfort whatsoever,and have little to no memory of the visit.

OVER 150 PATIENTS SEEN IN ONE DAY!
Our first annual Dentistry From The Heart event was a huge success! On February 9, 2008, a team of volunteers, consisting of 4 dentists, 7 hygienists, and over 15 dental assistants worked from 5am-9:30pm to help the Orlando community. Dr. Hodgins organized the day of free dentistry for those in need, to help those that could not afford the most basic of dental care. The team provided services that included either a free teeth cleaning, filling, or tooth extraction on a first come first served basis. Word spread quickly about the day, and the patients actually camped out the night before the event. They traveled from as far away as West Palm Beach, and Tampa to take care of their dental needs. “It was an extremely emotional day. There were a lot of hugs and a few tears of joy and appreciation.” said Dr. Hodgins. The Dentist’s Studio understands the need to give back to the community, and will continue to hold the event durning the weekend before Valentines Day on an annual basis. Please check our website for more information regarding this year’s event and future events.
