About Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s especially beneficial for those with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, low pain tolerance, or those requiring lengthy or complex treatments. The level of sedation can range from minimal (relaxed but awake) to deep sedation, depending on the patient’s needs and the procedure.
Services Offered Under Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation options are tailored to patient comfort and safety, including:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Light sedation to reduce anxiety.
- Oral Sedation: Medication taken before the procedure to induce relaxation.
- IV Sedation: Administered intravenously for moderate to deep sedation, monitored by anesthesiologists.
- General Anesthesia: Complete unconsciousness, used only for complex or surgical cases.

- Comfortable Experience: Reduces awareness of the procedure.
- Time-Saving: Allows multiple treatments to be done in one visit.
