Sedation Dentistry in Port Coquitlam
Sedation Dentistry
Dental appointments and treatments are not always easy. Each individual has a different tolerance to pain and comfort level in the dental chair. For our patients who experience a bit of anxiety or have trauma related to dental or medical procedures, we offer sedation dentistry options to make the experience more relaxing.
IV Sedation Dentistry
IV sedation dentistry provides patients with a deep calm during the procedure, providing little to no memory of the experience. This option may be suitable for patients with high anxiety regarding the dentist. We recommend talking to our dental team about your options.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide sedation is a milder form of sedation dentistry that is administered right before and during the procedure. The nitrous oxide is administered through a face mask and inhaled. The effects wear off quickly as soon as the nitrous oxide is stopped.
Oral Sedation
The oral sedation option is in the form of a pill. Our dentists will provide a prescription, along with clear instructions on when to take it and how to safely get to and from your appointment. With oral sedation, you’ll feel deeply relaxed and at ease during the procedure.
