Sedation Dentistry

If you feel  fear at the thought of visiting the dentist , you are not the only  one. Many people experience extreme anxiety over a visit to a dentist.


Feeling anxious or scared by the thought of dental treatment is nothing to be embarrassed about , though it is a fear unfounded. The latest treatments and techniques have cut treatment times to a mere fraction and Sedation Dentistry has greatly reduced fear , pain and anxiety felt by our patients.


Sleep dentistry/Sedation dentistry  is an option for patients who fear dental procedures, fear needles, have difficulty with their gag reflex, have very sensitive teeth, or have difficulty becoming numb from oral injections

Sleep dentistry offers pain-free and anxiety-free dental procedures as patients are in a deeply relaxed state, though fully responsive. Sleep dentistry also provides an opportunity to perform multiple or lengthy dental procedures in one session, minimizing the number of visits a patient has to make and ultimately reducing the build up of anxiety prior to each dental visit. 


Though in extreme cases, or for more complicated procedures, unconscious sedation through general anesthesia may be required, generally sleep dentistry involves conscious sedation .


At our dental office , we want you to feel at ease .There are various types of anaesthetic options , which are dependent on your procedure and preference . Typically , a patient can choose from conscious sedation  and IV  sedation .This service is known to help ease stress and anxiety from a patient’s experience with dental procedures.
