Sedation Dentistry

At Dentistry Dunnville, we know that a calm and comfortable dental experience is essential for many of our patients. That’s why we offer three tailored sedation options to help ease anxiety and ensure your visit is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Also known as “laughing gas,” Nitrous Oxide is a mild sedative delivered through a soft mask placed over your nose. It promotes a gentle sense of relaxation and euphoria, making it ideal for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety or those undergoing routine or minor procedures. Its effects wear off quickly after treatment, so you can safely drive yourself home and carry on with your day as usual.

For more intensive procedures or heightened anxiety, IV Sedation provides a deeper level of sedation. Administered directly into your bloodstream by our experienced team, this method allows you to enter a deep state of relaxation or light sleep, with limited awareness of the procedure. It’s especially beneficial for patients facing complex treatments, extensive dental work, or who experience severe dental phobia.

Our newest offering, Deep Sedation Dentistry, bridges the gap between IV sedation and general anesthesia. It allows patients to enter a near-sleep state, typically with no memory of the procedure. While you may not be fully unconscious, you’ll be largely unresponsive to commands and may only react to painful stimuli, making this ideal for those with extreme dental anxiety or those undergoing lengthy, intricate dental procedures. It’s the ultimate solution for those who wish to remain completely detached from their treatment experience.

All sedation services at Dentistry Dunnville are administered and monitored by our skilled dental team to ensure the highest standards of safety and care.

Whether you’re nervous about an upcoming procedure or simply want a more relaxing dental experience, we’ll work with you to choose the best sedation method for your individual needs.
