Understanding Twilight Sedation
Twilight sedation offers the perfect balance of comfort and safety:

- Remain responsive but deeply relaxed
- Little to no memory of the procedure
- Quick recovery time
- Perfect for longer procedures or multiple treatments
- Ideal for patients with dental anxiety
What does twilight sedation feel like?
Most patients describe twilight sedation as feeling calm, relaxed, and detached from the procedure. You remain responsive but often feel like time passes quickly, and many patients remember little to nothing about the procedure afterward.
What oral surgery procedures use twilight sedation?
Twilight sedation is commonly used for wisdom tooth extractions, surgical extractions, dental implants, bone grafting, and other complex oral surgery procedures. Your dentist will recommend sedation based on the complexity of the procedure and your comfort level.

What should I expect before and after sedation?
Before your appointment, we’ll provide clear instructions on eating, drinking, and medications. After twilight sedation, you’ll need a responsible adult to drive you home and should plan to rest for the remainder of the day. Most patients feel back to normal by the next day.
Who should NOT get twilight sedation?
While twilight sedation is safe for most patients, we carefully review your medical history, medications, and health conditions to make sure it’s appropriate for you. If sedation is not recommended, we’ll discuss alternative comfort options.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is sedation dentistry and how does twilight sedation work?
Sedation dentistry helps patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental treatment. Twilight sedation (also called conscious sedation) helps you feel calm, at ease, and less aware of what’s happening during your appointment, but you remain awake and can respond to the dentist. It’s a great option for people with anxiety, strong gag reflexes, or those who need longer or more complex procedures like oral surgery. Our twilight sedation services are offered for our patients doing extractions and other oral surgery services.
Q: Is twilight sedation safe?
Yes. Twilight sedation is considered safe when administered by trained professionals. At Toluca Advanced Dentistry, sedation is carefully planned based on your health history, medications, and comfort level. We monitor vital signs throughout the procedure so you stay safe and comfortable from start to finish.
Q: Do you use twilight sedation for oral surgery?
Yes. We frequently use twilight sedation for oral surgery procedures, including wisdom tooth extractions and other surgical treatments. Many patients prefer it because it helps them stay relaxed, reduces stress, and can make the overall experience feel quicker and more comfortable.
Q: Am I asleep during twilight sedation?
No. With twilight sedation, you stay conscious and can follow simple directions, but you usually won’t remember most of the procedure afterward. Many patients describe the experience as relaxing and easy, with little memory of the appointment itself.
Q: Will I feel pain during my procedure with sedation?
No. Twilight sedation helps you stay relaxed and less aware of what’s happening, and it’s always paired with local anesthesia so the area being treated is numb. Most patients feel minimal to no discomfort during the actual procedure.
Q: Is twilight sedation covered by dental insurance?
Some insurance plans provide partial coverage for sedation, but not all. We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and verify coverage before your appointment, so you know exactly what to expect. If sedation isn’t covered, we’ll review payment options with you.
