Experience Dentistry Without the Stress
Whether you’re feeling a little nervous or have more severe dental anxiety, sedation options are available to ensure a smooth and pain-free experience. We offer several levels of sedation that can be combined and customized to suit your specific needs. Our goal is to create a relaxing environment where you feel confident in every step of your care.
Types of Sedation
Local Freezing
This tried-and-true method involves numbing the treatment area with a local anesthetic. You may feel pressure during the procedure but no pain.
Conscious Sedation
Often used with local freezing, this method uses laughing gas, oral sedatives or IV medication to help you feel completely at ease. You’ll remain awake but deeply relaxed throughout your visit.
Sleep Dentistry
Deep sedation or general anesthesia allows you to sleep through your procedure. This option is perfect for patients with significant anxiety or those undergoing extensive treatment. You’ll need someone to take you home and stay with you while the effects wear off.
Why Patients Choose Dental Sedation
Ease Dental Anxiety
Fear and stress can be real barriers to getting the care you need. Sedation makes it easier to relax and take control of your oral health.
Time Flies By
Long procedures that require extended time in the chair can feel like they’re over in the blink of an eye. With IV sedation especially, many patients say they don’t remember a thing.
Adaptable for Many Needs
Have a strong gag reflex? Trouble sitting still? Sensitive teeth? Difficulty freezing? Sedation helps make dentistry accessible and comfortable for more people.
