Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you relax during dental treatment. Options range from nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to IV sedation, depending on your anxiety level and the procedure being done. Sedation doesn't put you to sleep, but it allows you to be calm and unaware of time passing.
It's especially helpful for patients with severe anxiety, long or complex procedures, or difficulty getting numb. You'll be monitored throughout, and the effects wear off quickly once the appointment is over.

Sedation is administered, your vitals are monitored continuously, and your treatment proceeds while you're calm and comfortable.
Once treatment is complete, sedation is reversed. Recovery takes 30 to 60 minutes. Arrange a ride home, and rest for the remainder of the day.


Sedation dentistry helps patients feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable during their visit, making it an excellent option for those with dental anxiety or heightened sensitivity. It also minimizes discomfort and memory of the procedure, which is especially helpful for complex treatments or multiple procedures completed in a single visit. For patients with strong gag reflexes or past negative experiences, sedation provides a smooth, stress-free dental experience.

Sedation is ideal for patients with dental anxiety so severe that they avoid needed treatment. It's also useful for lengthy restorative cases, multiple extractions, or procedures that require the patient to be very still. Patients with a strong gag reflex or sensory sensitivities often benefit from sedation.
Sedation is not recommended if you're pregnant, have certain heart conditions, or are taking medications that interact with sedatives. Dr. Timin will review your health history to confirm it's safe for you.
