Safe Dental Treatment System for Phobia Patients
Many Dentists Say This:
"Now, please relax. You'll be fine as we go along."
"Let's do sleep treatment. It costs $200-$300."
These are either too passive or too aggressive responses.
Sleep treatment is costly and can be risky
for patients with systemic diseases.

What is Conscious Sedation?
It is a treatment method where you receive the procedure in a slightly drowsy state and won't remember most of what happened during it.
It is safe because you relax comfortably while remaining conscious, allowing you to express your state and respond during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Can anyone receive sleep treatment?
For those with systemic diseases (heart disease, respiratory issues, etc.), we first check safety through a pre-consultation. Please inform us of any medications you are taking and your health status during the consultation.
Q.Can I go home immediately after sleep treatment?
You can go home after resting for about 30 minutes to 1 hour in our dedicated recovery room. We recommend avoiding driving on the day of treatment and coming with a guardian.
Q.How much does sleep treatment cost?
The cost varies depending on the type and duration of treatment. We do not blindly recommend sleep treatment and instead suggest the optimal method suited to the patient's condition.
