Relaxed, Stress-Free Dental Visits

Many patients delay or avoid dental care because of fear, strong gag reflexes, or difficulty sitting comfortably through treatment. Sedation dentistry offers a safe, controlled way to reduce anxiety so you can receive the care you need with confidence.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation uses prescription medication taken before your appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed while remaining responsive. It is an excellent option for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures.

• Easy to Take A small pill taken before treatment helps you feel calm. Great for anxious patients
• Reduced Fear & Tension Eases worry, restlessness, and sensitivity to dental sounds or sensations.
• Often Limited Memory of Treatment Many patients remember little of the visit, even though they remain responsive.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is delivered through a small intravenous line, allowing us to adjust the level of sedation precisely throughout your appointment. This option is especially helpful for complex procedures, strong anxiety, or patients who want a deeper level of relaxation.

• Sedation administered and monitored throughout the visit
• Rapid onset for predictable, controlled relaxation
• Ideal for longer or more involved treatments

Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?

Sedation may be appropriate if you experience dental fear, have had difficult past experiences, have a strong gag reflex, or need multiple procedures completed in fewer visits. Prior to treatment, we review your medical history, current medications, and goals to select the safest, most appropriate sedation method.

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. We closely monitor you during your visit and provide clear pre- and post-treatment instructions so you know exactly what to expect. To learn more about sedation dentistry or discuss your options, simply call our office or contact our team.
