What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication and other comfort techniques to help reduce fear, anxiety, and discomfort during dental procedures. Whether you’re here for oral surgery or simply feel nervous in the chair, we can customize your visit with sedation options that fit your needs.
We offer multiple levels of sedation and comfort aids, all administered or monitored by trained professionals. Our goal is to help you feel safe, confident, and in control throughout your care

Ways We Help You Feel at Ease
Creature Comforts
For patients with mild anxiety or sensory sensitivity, we offer:
- Headphones with calming music (or bring your own!)
- Earplugs to block out sounds from dental tools
- Sunglasses to protect your eyes from bright lights
Calming Techniques
Our team is trained in gentle communication and mindfulness-based support. We can guide you through breathing exercises, take breaks when needed, and talk you through each step so you always know what to expect.
Sedation Options
If your anxiety is more moderate or severe, sedation may be a great choice. Sedation can be tailored to your needs, whether you’re just looking to “take the edge off” or prefer to be fully unaware of the procedure. Options may include:
- Light sedation that wears off quickly
- Oral medication prescribed before your visit
- Deeper sedation provided by trained professionals (may require a ride home)
Our providers will walk you through every option and help determine what’s best for your comfort and safety.
Your Safety Comes First
Every sedation plan begins with a conversation. We’ll review your medical history, explain all options, and ensure you understand how the process works. During your visit, you’ll be closely monitored to keep you safe and relaxed at all times.
