Our top priority is your comfort.
We understand that for many patients, a visit to the dentist can cause anxiety. Sedation dentistry reduces fear and discomfort associated with dental procedures helping patients calm, relaxed and at ease throughout their dental visit. Our philosophy towards comfort starts with listening and building trust. We strive to create an environment you can relax in, and we will accommodate any needs and requests you have.
We offer a wide spectrum of options available including oral and IV conscious sedation to provide you with the most comfortable dental experience possible.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation can be a great tool for remaining calm, particularly if your dental anxiety is caused by a fear of needles. The way oral sedation works is the patient an oral medication before dental treatment. The most commonly used medications belong to the benzodiazepine family which decrease anxiety and make the patient feel as if they are sleeping and help to reduce memory and awareness during treatment.
Advantages to patients include:
- Treatment is completed when you are in a more relaxed mood.
- You will have less difficulty sitting through a lengthy procedure.
- Multiple treatments and full mouth restorations can occur at during the same visit.
IV Sedation
IV sedation dentistry also called “sleep dentistry” or “twilight sedation" are all similar terms to describe IV sedation. IV sedation is designed to make dental procedures relaxed and efficient. It will enable you to tolerate the process, not remember those procedures, and even sleep during procedures. It will help alleviate the anxiety associated with your treatment. You may not always be asleep but you will be comfortable, calm and relaxed, drifting in and out of sleep – a “twilight sleep”.
