01 / The perspective
Care that begins with
the complete picture.
Dental anxiety is not a character flaw, and it should never be treated as one. Past experiences, a sensitive gag reflex, difficulty becoming numb, complex treatment needs, or a desire to complete more care in fewer visits can all influence how a patient feels about dentistry.
Dr. Hamilton has advanced training in IV conscious sedation and offers several levels of support for appropriate patients in Johns Creek. Every recommendation begins with a careful medical and medication review. The safest suitable option—not simply the deepest option—is selected around the patient and the planned procedure.

04 / Questions
Thoughtful answers,
before you begin.
Will I be asleep?
The intended level of awareness depends on the sedation method. With conscious sedation, patients remain responsive, although many feel deeply relaxed and may remember little of the appointment.
Do I need someone to drive me?
Patients receiving oral or IV sedation generally need a responsible adult to provide transportation and follow post-treatment instructions. Requirements are confirmed in advance.
Can multiple procedures be completed at once?
Sometimes. When clinically appropriate, treatment may be coordinated to reduce the number of visits. The safest sequence depends on the procedures and the patient's health.
