They are expensive, and as TygrBright said, they are worth it.

I wasn't given any options about anesthesia; the doctor/dentist said I would be asleep but not so deeply as to need a ventilator.

It was really easy with the medications on board. Even though I wasn't deeply asleep, I didn't hear or feel anything.

I would highly recommend you take the drugs. Do they have you take them after you arrive at the office? I hope so!

Hope it all goes well.
