Find Out How Relaxing Dentistry Can Be With Sedation

We are always working with patients to try to make it the most comfortable experience they can have. Depending on what makes the patient anxious, we'll kind of tweak what we're doing to make them more comfortable. One of the main options that we do have is to do a prescription for Valium. My high anxiety patients, I like to give them a prescription so they can take one the night before their appointment, get a good night's sleep, try to just relax, and then they'll take another about an hour before their appointment. This is just enough to help kind of ease their mind a little. It's not going to put you out for the appointment, but the goal is that it just relaxes you a little bit so we can make your experience as great as we can. Another option we do have is just having blankets for patients. We have headphones so you can listen to the TV. I always tell especially the younger kids, bring your earbuds in, listen to your own music. You don't need to hear us while we're working. So anything we can, we have kind of neck rests or pillows just to help make the chair more comfortable. We want you to have as great of an experience as you can when it's somewhere you already don't want to be. But we're always looking to make that work as best as we can.

Choose From Two Kinds of Sedation to Ease Your Anxiety

Maybe you don't like the sights, sounds, and smells associated with dental offices. Or perhaps you had a painful treatment at the dentist in the past. No matter the cause, we can help relieve your dental anxiety. Because every patient has unique concerns, we offer two types of dental sedation:

  • Inhaled sedation is a gas mixed with oxygen that you breathe in through a small mask. Almost immediately, you will feel a mild euphoria and your tension will melt away. The effects will wear off quickly so you can drive yourself home if you choose to.
  • We also offer oral conscious sedation in pill form. At a predetermined time before your appointment, you will take the pill so you can arrive at our office fully relaxed. Most patients stay awake with this type of sedation, but you will only have a vague memory of your visit after the effects wear off. You will need a trusted friend or family member to take you to and from your appointment.

Along with dental sedation, we provide several amenities to make your treatments more comfortable, including:

  • TVs and headphones in every care room
  • Cozy neck pillows for support
  • Soft blankets to take the chill off
  • A coffee and beverage station in our reception area
