What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s ideal for patients who:

Experience dental anxiety or fear
-
Have a sensitive gag reflex
-
Struggle with sitting still for long procedures
-
Have low pain tolerance
- Need multiple treatments in a single visit
Depending on your needs, we offer several levels of sedation—from mild relaxation to deeper conscious sedation—all administered with your safety and comfort in mind.
