Sleep Dental Implants
Sleep dental implants allow patients to undergo implant surgery in a comfortable, relaxed state under conscious sedation or IV sedation, minimizing anxiety and discomfort.
What Are Sleep Dental Implants?
Sleep implant treatment uses intravenous sedation and monitoring systems to keep patients in a relaxed, semi-conscious state where they can breathe independently but feel no pain or fear.
 This method is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, multiple implant needs, or who simply want a stress-free treatment experience.
Who Are Sleep Dental Implants For?
- Patients with severe dental phobia or fear of surgery
- Those needing multiple implants in one visit
- Patients with chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension) requiring careful monitoring
- Patients who struggle with long treatment times
- Those requiring bone grafting or complex surgeries
- Patients with severe gag reflex or difficulty tolerating dental procedures

FAQs
- Will I be completely asleep?
 No. You will be in a twilight state (conscious sedation), breathing on your own but unaware of the procedure.
- Is it safe?
 Yes. Your vital signs are monitored throughout the procedure by trained staff or an anesthesiologist.
- How long does the sedation last?
 It usually wears off within 30–60 minutes after the procedure.
- Can I get multiple implants at once?
 Yes — sleep dentistry is perfect for full mouth or multiple implant procedures.
- Is there pain afterward?
 Mild soreness may be felt after the anesthesia wears off, but it is easily managed with medication.
- Can anyone get sleep implant treatment?
 Most patients are candidates, but those with certain medical conditions (severe heart or lung disease) require special assessment.
- Will I remember the procedure?
 Most patients have little to no memory of the surgery, which reduces anxiety.
- Can I go home right after?
 Yes, but you must be accompanied by someone who can drive you home safely.
- Is sleep implant treatment more expensive?
 Yes, due to the cost of sedation and monitoring, but it greatly enhances comfort and efficiency.
- How do I prepare?
 Avoid eating or drinking for 6–8 hours before the procedure, and inform your dentist of any medications or health conditions.
