What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses safe, calming medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. It's ideal for those with dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, or those undergoing longer or more complex treatments.
Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?
· Ease fear or anxiety about visiting the dentist
· Remain calm and comfortable during treatment
· Minimize discomfort or memory of the procedure
· Ideal for complex or multiple procedures in one visit
· Helps patients with strong gag reflexes or sensitivity
Types of Sedation We Offer
· Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Light, fast-acting sedation inhaled through a mask; wears off quickly
· Oral Sedation: A prescribed pill taken before your appointment for deeper relaxation
· IV Sedation (if applicable): Delivered intravenously for a more profound sedative effect—monitored throughout
· Local Anesthetic: Used in combination to numb specific areas and eliminate pain
What to Expect
You’ll be fully monitored throughout your appointment, and our team will guide you every step of the way. Depending on the type of sedation, you may need a companion to drive you home.
