How long will it take? |

By taking a pill an hour prior to your appointment you will already be relaxed when you arrive at the office. It will be necessary to be accompanied to and from the appointment by a friend or loved one. Depending on your individual needs, you will be relaxed and sedated for a short or long visit. This may allow treatment requiring six to eight visits to be accomplished in as little as one. |
