Nervous about the dentist? You don’t have to put off care.
If the thought of a dental visit makes you nervous, you are not alone, and you do not have to put off the care you need. Sedation dentistry helps you feel calm and relaxed during treatment, from a routine filling to dental implants or a full arch restoration.
Who can benefit from sedation?
- Patients with dental anxiety or fear.
- Patients who are afraid of needles.
- Patients with a sensitive gag reflex.
- Longer or more complex procedures, such as implants and full arch (All-on-4).
- Patients who want to complete several treatments in fewer visits.
Relaxation at the level that fits you.
Conscious sedation
Stay awake and responsive, but deeply relaxed. For patients who are afraid of needles, we take extra care to keep you comfortable before any injection. [CONFIRM needle-free modality offered, e.g. nitrous oxide.]
Oral sedation
A prescribed medication taken before your appointment helps you feel calm and drowsy while remaining responsive.
Oral sedation →IV sedation
A deeper level of relaxation delivered through a vein, ideal for implant surgery and longer procedures. Many patients remember little of their treatment.
IV sedation →We review your health history, recommend the right level of sedation and monitor you throughout.
You will need someone to drive you home after oral or IV sedation. Prefer a gentler approach first? Our comfortable, gentle dentistry page explains how we help anxious patients feel at ease.
