Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry can make visits easier—for your body and your mind.

It’s not just about fear. It’s about comfort, control, and getting through the door.

You’re not the only one who gets nervous about dental work. Some people feel their chest tighten just thinking about an appointment. Others have trouble staying still, or struggle with strong gag reflexes. That’s where sedation comes in—to quiet the noise, calm your body, and help you get the care you need.

It doesn’t mean being knocked out. In fact, most types of sedation keep you awake. But it does mean fewer flinches, less tension, and a better shot at walking out feeling okay.

Types of dental sedation

There’s no one-size-fits-all. Your dental team will talk you through the best fit for your needs, including what to expect, how to prepare, and whether someone needs to come with you.
