Oral Triazolam for major dental surgery? Will it work? Will I feel and experience everything that is happening?

iwearsocks
I asked a question recently about what the typical protocol is for All on 4 surgery. Thanks so the doctors that responded. My dentist told me that he doesn't offer IV sedation, just oral Triazolam. How can he allow a person to be any kind of awake during such a surgery? He said I would be conscious but "out of it" and not care so much. I'm terrified. I want to be put under. Will this drug work? Will I know what is happening? Will I suffer? Why can't I be put under? Should I call of the surgery?
