What Is Sedation Dentistry and Its Benefits?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. Benefits include reduced anxiety, minimal discomfort, and the ability to undergo longer or multiple procedures in one visit.

What Sedation Options Are Available at Our Clinic?

We offer various sedation options, including:

• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Mild sedation for relaxation.
• Oral Sedation: Moderate sedation using pills taken before the appointment.
• IV Sedation: For deeper sedation, administered intravenously.

How Do You Know If Sedation Dentistry Is Right for You?

Sedation dentistry is suitable for patients with dental anxiety, a low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or the need for significant dental work.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Sedation?

Before sedation, we’ll review your medical history and explain the process. During the procedure, you'll be monitored continuously. Afterward, you'll need someone to drive you home, as the effects of sedation may linger.
