Experience Dentistry Free from Stress and Anxiety

Anesthetic and sedation options are available to prevent pain and discomfort during your dental procedure. There are various methods to choose from, and sometimes they can be combined to ensure complete coverage. The type of sedation or anesthesia used will depend on your personalized treatment plan, your individual needs, and the expert opinion of your dentist or specialist.

Types of Sedation

Sedation options can be grouped into three main categories. We can numb the specific area being treated, sedate you so you remain awake but completely relaxed, or use general anesthesia so you can sleep through your procedure. Here’s a closer look at each option:

Local Freezing

This is a common and reliable method. We carefully numb the area of your mouth needing treatment and then inject a local anesthetic. You may feel pressure but will not experience pain.

Sedation

With prescription medication, laughing gas, or an IV, light to moderate sedation will keep you fully conscious but completely relaxed. This method is often used alongside local freezing.

Sleep Dentistry

General anesthesia or deep sedation will make you very nearly or fully unconscious. Some patients who stay awake report having no memory of the procedure afterward. You will feel relaxed and drowsy for some time after waking up, so you will need someone to drive you home and stay with you.

The Benefits of Dental Sedation

Sedation and sleep dentistry are valuable options that help us serve patients with various challenges. Here are some of the benefits of sedation dentistry:

Overcoming Dental Anxiety

For many people, fear and anxiety about dental visits can be overwhelming. These feelings can sometimes be worse than the treatment itself. If you struggle with dental anxiety, whether mild or severe, do not hesitate to let us know. We can help you feel at ease during your treatment.

Make Time Fly By

For longer procedures, where you might be sitting in the chair for an extended period, sedation helps keep you relaxed and comfortable. You will be surprised at how quickly the procedure ends. With IV sedation, it may feel like time passes in an instant.

Tailored for Your Personal Needs

Sedation is helpful for patients with unique needs. If you have a sensitive gag reflex, chronic restlessness, or conditions like restless leg syndrome, sedation can make treatment more comfortable. It is also ideal if local freezing does not work well for you. Sedation ensures that treatment is available for everyone.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

We ensure the safety of each patient by thoroughly reviewing their medical history to determine if sedation is the right choice for them. Your health is always our priority.

Sedation will quickly make you feel drowsy and relaxed. Some people experience a mild tingling sensation. You might also have some mild memory loss afterward and may not remember the procedure at all.

Most sedation options do not involve being put to sleep. Instead, they allow you to feel deeply relaxed. You may not remember the procedure once it’s finished, but you will still be conscious throughout.

When sedation is involved, it is very important to have a friend or family member drive you home and stay with you. It is essential to let the sedation wear off completely and allow your body to rest before resuming your normal activities.

If you have been sedated for your dental procedure, we recommend taking the day off to recover. Typically, you should set aside 24 hours before returning to your usual routine. The time it takes for sedation to wear off depends on the type of sedation used, but it can range from 2 to 8 hours.

Ray Lawson Family Dental truly sets the standard for what a great patient experience should feel like. From the moment you walk in, the environment is cool, calm, and beautifully maintained, which already makes a big difference for anyone who might feel nervous about a dental visit. Manmohan and Binder are incredibly kind and helpful at the front desk. They are always welcoming, openly communicative on the phone, and genuinely take the time to listen and help find times that will work. You never feel rushed or dismissed when speaking with them. The entire team comes across as highly experienced and confident in what they do. Dr. Navreen and Dr. Gurm are especially wonderful with patients. They consistently check in during procedures to make sure patients are comfortable, ask if anything hurts, and offer reassurance along the way. Their explanations are clear, and they always make sure patients know what to expect next and what to watch for after treatment. It is also really heartwarming to see how patient and encouraging they are with kids, even offering breaks and putting on children’s songs on the TV to help them feel more relaxed. Harbinder and Varinder as the dental assistants also work so seamlessly with the dentists. They are always in sync, anticipating what is needed and keeping everything running smoothly, which makes the whole experience feel very efficient. The hygienist, Haseera, is also fantastic, very gentle, thorough, and kind, which makes cleanings feel comfortable and stress free. Overall, you can tell that everyone in this office genuinely care about the people they treat, and I would absolutely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dental office that combines expertise with compassion.
