Sedation Dentistry in Monterey California

Once you've experienced Dr. Bianco's sedation dentistry, you'll probably never be afraid to go to the dentist again. "Will I feel any pain?" No. You will feel nothing. You'll be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing. "Will I be unconscious?" No. You will be in a deeply relaxed state and you will be responsive. You'll wake up refreshed, with little or no memory of what was accomplished. Because you are completely comfortable, Dr. Bianco can do years of dental treatments in one or two visits.

Dr. Bianco can erase years of neglect in a visit or two. You can replace crowns or dentures, have your sore gums restored to good health, whiten yellow or stained teeth, fix a chipped tooth, and more. People with very busy schedules can get the dental care they need, easily and quickly.

"How long will I be relaxing?" Depending on your needs, you will be in a relaxed state from two to six hours. Now you can have a beautiful smile to show off and live free of tooth pain. No wonder so many patients say: "Thank you, Dr. Bianco. Sedation dentistry changed my life."

How It Works

You are given a small pill to take an hour prior to your dental appointment. You will need a companion to drive you to the office. By the time you arrive, you will be very drowsy.

When you arrive in our office, you will be escorted into the comfort room, covered with a thick, warm blanket and placed on a monitor to watch your vital signs. One of our team members will be with you and will monitor your vital signs during the entire visit. After you are comfortable, Dr. Bianco and the experienced clinical team at Richard J Bianco D.M.D. will take care of your dental needs.

When your treatment is completed, your companion will return you home to finish your comfortable, relaxing day.
