What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses safe, carefully dosed medication to help you relax during dental treatment. It's ideal for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, or those undergoing longer or more complex procedures — allowing treatment to be completed comfortably in fewer visits.

  • Vital signs monitored throughout your procedure
  • Sedation level matched to your comfort and procedure needs
  • Suitable for children, adults and patients with special needs

Options

Types of Sedation We Offer

01

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild, fast-acting sedative inhaled through a mask — you stay relaxed and alert, and it wears off within minutes.

02

Oral Sedation

A prescribed tablet taken before your visit for a deeper sense of calm during longer procedures.

03

IV Sedation

Administered intravenously for a deeper, closely monitored level of relaxation during complex treatment.

We'll recommend the right sedation level for you after reviewing your health history and the procedure planned.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is sedation dentistry safe?+
Yes. Sedation is administered by trained clinicians with your vital signs monitored throughout, and dosage is carefully matched to your health history and the procedure being performed.
Will I be completely unconscious?+
Not with most sedation options. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation keep you relaxed but conscious and able to respond; only deeper IV sedation approaches a sleep-like state.
How long do the effects last?+
Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes of removing the mask. Oral and IV sedation can leave you drowsy for several hours, so arranging a ride home is recommended.
Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry?+
Patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, or those needing longer or multiple procedures often benefit most. A consultation will confirm what's right for you.
Can children receive sedation dentistry?+
Yes, mild sedation options like nitrous oxide are commonly and safely used to help children stay calm and comfortable during dental treatment.
Will I remember the procedure afterward?+
With lighter sedation, most patients recall the visit but feel very relaxed. With oral or IV sedation, many patients remember little to nothing of the procedure itself.
