We understand that dental anxiety and fear can prevent many patients from seeking the dental care they need. That's why we offer sedation dentistry – a safe and effective solution to help patients relax and feel comfortable during their dental procedures.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax and feel at ease during dental procedures. It is especially beneficial for patients with dental anxiety, fear of needles, sensitive gag reflexes, or complex dental needs. With sedation dentistry, patients can undergo treatment comfortably while remaining conscious and responsive.

Sedation Options

There are various sedation options available to accommodate the unique needs and preferences of our patients, including:

  • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): This mild sedative is administered through a mask placed over the nose. Nitrous oxide induces feelings of relaxation and euphoria, allowing patients to remain conscious and cooperative during their procedure.

Our experienced dental team will work with you to determine the most suitable sedation option based on your medical history, treatment needs, and level of anxiety.

Sedation Safety Protocols

Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. Before administering any form of sedation, our team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your medical history and current health status to ensure sedation is safe for you. We adhere to strict safety protocols and guidelines established by dental governing bodies to minimize risks and ensure a positive sedation experience for our patients.
