Experience dentistry free from stress and anxiety
We offer a range of anesthetic and sedation options to keep you relaxed and pain-free during your dental treatment. Your dentist will recommend the best approach based on your needs and treatment plan—sometimes combining methods for complete comfort.
Types of sedation
Local freezing
This common method numbs a small area of your mouth using local anesthetic. You may feel pressure, but you won’t feel pain.
Sedation
With light to moderate sedation—administered as laughing gas, oral medication, or IV—you’ll remain awake but deeply relaxed. Often paired with local freezing for added comfort.
Sleep dentistry
Deep sedation or general anesthesia puts you in a sleep-like state. You may not remember the procedure and will feel drowsy afterward. You’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you during recovery.
The benefits of dental sedation
Sedation and sleep dentistry help make dental care more accessible and comfortable for patients with a wide range of needs. Here’s how it can help:
Overcoming dental anxiety
Fear shouldn’t keep you from getting the care you need. Whether your anxiety is mild or severe, sedation can help you stay calm and confident throughout your visit.
Make Time Fly By
Long procedures can feel much shorter with sedation. You’ll stay relaxed and comfortable—and for those under IV sedation, the entire appointment can feel like it passed in a flash.
Tailored to your needs
Sedation is ideal for patients with a strong gag reflex, chronic restlessness, or those who don’t respond well to local freezing. It ensures that everyone can receive the care they need in comfort.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
