What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves giving medication to patients with dental anxiety to help them feel calm during dental procedures. Whether you're facing a routine cleaning or a complex restorative treatment, sedation dentistry can make your visit stress-free and comfortable.

We also suggest getting sedated if you suffer from the following problems: 

  • Overly sensitive gag reflex
  • Reduced sensitivity to local anesthesia
  • Teeth sensitivity

Our Sedation Dentistry Options

Oral Sedation

Our oral sedation option is a pill you take before your appointment. It induces a relaxed and drowsy state, reducing anxiety and promoting a more comfortable experience.

Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide)

Laughing gas is a sweet-smelling gas you inhale through a mask placed over your nose. It quickly creates a state of relaxation and eases anxiety. The effects wear off within minutes after the procedure, allowing you to get back to your daily activities right away.

IV Sedation

Intravenous (IV) sedation involves administering medications through a vein, providing a deeper level of sedation. Our expert team will control the amount of sedation to help you feel comfortable throughout your procedure.

Benefits of Getting Sedation Dentistry

  • Alleviates anxiety and fear associated with dental visits
  • Enables patients with a sensitive gag reflex to receive treatment
  • Reduces discomfort during procedures
  • Allows for more efficient completion of extensive dental work
