Sedation
If you feel anxious about dental care, sedation can make your treatment feel calm and stress-free.
How we use Sedation?
We provide conscious sedation under the care of trained clinicians. You remain awake but deeply relaxed, and most people remember very little afterwards. Sedation is especially helpful for longer or more complex treatments, or simply if nerves have kept you from visiting the dentist.
After treatment you will need someone to accompany you home while the effects wear off. It is a gentle and reassuring way to receive the care you need in comfort.
