Sedation Dentistry: A stress-free visit
We understand that dental anxiety and phobia are real concerns for many patients. It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous about visiting the dentist, and we want to assure you that your comfort and well-being are our top priorities. Fortunately, we offer various sedation options to make your dental experience as relaxed and stress-free as possible.
Understanding Dental Anxiety and Phobia
Dental anxiety and phobia can be a significant barrier to receiving necessary dental care. Whether it’s fear of pain, past negative experiences, or simply a general unease, we recognize that these feelings are valid. Our goal is to provide a compassionate environment and effective solutions to help you feel at ease during your visits.
IV Sedation: A Versatile Solution
IV sedation is a highly effective option for patients who experience anxiety or wish to remain deeply relaxed during dental procedures. It can be used for a wide range of treatments, from simple cleanings and fillings to more complex procedures like root canals and advanced surgeries. With IV sedation, you can undergo your dental treatments comfortably and with minimal stress.
Qualified and Safe Care
Our team is fully qualified to administer IV sedation. Both our dentist and certified dental assistant are licensed and trained in IV sedation techniques. We use non-opioid medications to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the procedure. Our approach prioritizes your well-being, adhering to the highest standards of care.
Pre-Procedure Requirements
Before your IV sedation appointment, we require a consultation to discuss your medical history, sedation preferences, and any concerns you may have. This allows us to tailor the sedation plan to your specific needs. Additionally, we need you to complete some forms as required by the British Columbia College of Oral Health Professionals. This helps ensure that we meet all regulatory requirements and maintain the highest safety standards.
