Experience dentistry free from stress and anxiety
At our clinic, we understand that dental procedures can sometimes cause anxiety or discomfort. That’s why we offer safe and effective sedation options—local freezing, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and oral sedation—to help you feel calm and at ease during your visit.
Types of Sedation
Local Freezing
Local freezing is a standard and reliable method to numb the area being treated. We carefully apply a local anesthetic to a small part of your mouth, ensuring that while you may feel some pressure, you won’t experience pain. This is ideal for quick and routine treatments where a mild numbing sensation is all that’s needed.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a gentle and effective form of sedation that helps ease anxiety while keeping you fully conscious. Administered through a mask placed over your nose, it produces a feeling of relaxation and well-being. You’ll feel calm and comfortable throughout the procedure, and the effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities soon after your visit.
Oral Sedation
If you need a deeper level of relaxation, oral sedation may be the right option for you. This involves taking a prescription pill before your procedure, which helps you feel relaxed and calm, but does not involve putting you to sleep. Depending on the dosage, the sedation can range from mild to moderate, causing drowsiness and significantly reducing anxiety. Since oral sedation can make you sleepy, it’s important to arrange transportation to and from your appointment.
The benefits of dental sedation
Dental sedation offers a range of benefits, including:
Reducing Dental Anxiety
If fear or anxiety has been keeping you from getting the dental care you need, sedation can help. Whether you’re dealing with mild unease or more severe dental phobia, we can tailor the right level of sedation to make your experience stress-free.
Comfort During Long Procedures
For treatments that take more time, conscious sedation ensures you remain comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Nitrous oxide or conscious oral sedation can make the time pass quickly, leaving you relaxed from start to finish.
Personalized Care
Every patient is different. Whether you have a sensitive gag reflex or find it difficult to sit still for long periods, we can customize your sedation to suit your unique needs, making dental care accessible to everyone.
