Your Comfort is Our Priority
Does dental anxiety keep you from getting the care you need? At Smiles of Distinction, we believe that every patient deserves a healthy smile without the stress. Our office offers advanced sedation dentistry options to help you feel completely relaxed, whether you are here for a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure.
Request an AppointmentWhy Choose Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation is an excellent choice for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or phobia.
- Have a sensitive gag reflex.
- Need to complete multiple treatments in a single visit.
- Have difficulty getting numb with local anesthetic.
- Experience neck or back discomfort during dental appointments.
Our Sedation Options
We provide two primary levels of sedation to meet your specific needs and comfort level:
- Oral Conscious Sedation
This involves taking a prescribed sedative pill shortly before your appointment. You will feel deeply relaxed and drowsy, though you will remain awake and able to respond to our team. Many patients find they have little to no memory of their treatment afterward, making it feel as though the appointment flew by.
- IV Sedation (Deep Sedation)
For patients with severe anxiety or those undergoing longer surgical procedures, we offer IV Sedation. Administered intravenously, this allows us to adjust the level of sedation instantly. It provides a deeper level of relaxation than oral sedation and is closely monitored by our highly trained team to ensure your safety throughout the entire process.
Safe, Monitored, and Compassionate
Your safety is our absolute focus. By utilizing our advanced monitoring technology and 3D imaging, we can plan your treatment with surgical precision, ensuring your visit is as efficient as it is comfortable. Our clinical team is specifically trained in sedation protocols to provide a secure and peaceful environment.
Note: For both Oral and IV sedation, you will need a trusted friend or family member to drive you to and from our office.
