About 30 minutes after the procedure. However, some of the drugs could affect you for 24 hours. So we recommend that you don’t operate a vehicle for 24 hours. Also, you can’t make any legal decisions for 24 hours.
Only a few minutes after sedation is turned off, patients awaken and become fully alert after 30 minutes or so.
Very short time period, less than 30 minutes
Depends on genetics up to 6-12 hours.
