Dental Sedation

At our dental clinic, we prioritize a comforting experience, helping patients overcome dental fear and anxiety with the use of sedation options. No matter your past experiences, there’s no need for embarrassment. Our team is committed to making your visit comfortable, calm, and tailored to your needs.

Comfort and Relaxation

  • Our sedation options ensure a relaxing visit, helping patients feel comfortable and at ease.
  • Sedation dentistry allows you to rest quietly during treatment, turning a dental appointment into a peaceful break from a busy life.

Easier Treatment for Sensitive Patients

  • Sedation helps reduce discomfort for patients with sensitive teeth, gums, or strong gag reflexes.
  • With a relaxed patient, we can perform procedures efficiently and with greater focus, enhancing the overall experience.

Fewer Appointments, More Efficient Care

  • Sedation allows us to complete extensive treatments in fewer visits, saving you time and providing faster results.
  • Complex procedures that typically require multiple visits can often be completed in just one session with sedation.

Sedation Options to Fit Your Comfort Needs

Nitrous Oxide Sedation (Laughing Gas)

  • A mild sedative that keeps you conscious but relaxed during the procedure.
  • Wears off quickly, allowing you to drive yourself home after treatment if no other sedatives are used.

Oral Sedation

  • An oral sedative taken before your appointment to ensure relaxation.
  • Often results in patients not recalling the details of their procedure.
  • Requires arranging a ride to and from your appointment.

IV Sedation

  • Provides a deeper level of relaxation, though patients remain responsive.
  • Sedation levels can be adjusted during the procedure to ensure comfort.
  • For IV sedation, we can refer you to a specialist offering deep sedation services.

FAQS

Everything you need to know about Dental Sedation:

Children with severe dental anxiety, dental phobias, or who aren’t able to sit for the procedure may benefit from sedation dentistry. However, parents should consult with both their child’s dentist and their pediatrician before making a decision.

Patients who are obese or have obstructive sleep apnea should consult with both their dentist and their family doctor before making a decision.

If you or your child experiences any unusual or unexpected reactions, you should contact our office immediately at +1 (250) 383-0123. If our office is closed, proceed to your nearest drop-in clinic or emergency room.

A good rule of thumb is to allow a full 24 hours after the procedure for the full effects of dental sedation to wear off.

Dentists use a combination of sedation and anesthetic to keep you relaxed and pain-free throughout your procedure. Many patients leave the appointment with little to no memory of their treatment and feel good afterward.
