Sedation dentistry
We understand that dental appointments might be unsettling for some. That’s why we make patient comfort a priority and offer sedation as an option for those who feel anxious about their visit – ensuring everyone feels relaxed during treatment.
Visiting the dentist should be a positive experience for everyone. Our welcoming team and inviting atmosphere creates an environment that is clean, comfortable and professional, the minute you enter our clinic.
Types of sedation we offer
At Holland Cross Dental, we offer our patients three types of sedation to help them feel comfortable during their appointment.
Nitrous oxide sedation
Better known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide (N2O) is an extremely reliable and safe sedation that’s been used by dentists for over a century. It’s administered as a gas that will relax you, but doesn’t put you to sleep. It can help any patient — especially those with dental phobias — feel at ease in the chair.
Oral sedation
Oral sedatives can help you relax and feel more at ease during your dental procedure. An oral sedative works wonders in reducing anxiety and helping make the experience much easier for everyone involved. Check with your dentist about this helpful option prior to treatment.
Intravenous sedation
If you’re looking for a stress-free experience during your dental work, consider IV sedation. Also known as general anaesthesia, it’s administered through an easy needle and quickly works its magic to fully relax you in a peaceful sleep-like state throughout your procedure. You will feel drowsy as the sedatives wear off, so it is important to have a friend or family member with you to bring you home safely afterwards.
Sedation tailored to your needs
At our practice, we value personalization. Whether you’re here for a simple teeth cleaning or more specialized dental procedure, rest assured that your comfort is always top of mind. Our team takes the time to learn about each individual patient and their needs so we can develop an experience tailored just for you. From mild sedation levels during cleanings up to other methods used throughout treatment, we’ve got it covered, every step of the way.
