Feel Calm During Any Procedure

Different procedures can cause varying levels of anxiety. That's why we offer sedation for a wide range of treatments, from routine cleanings and fillings to more involved procedures like root canals, dental implants, and gum disease treatment.

Sedation can benefit you if you struggle with a strong gag reflex, find it hard to stay relaxed during long appointments, or require several procedures in one visit.

In addition to offering sedation, we combine a gentle touch with advanced technology to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sedation Options

What types of sedation do you offer?

At Westlake Family Dentistry, we offer two types of sedation: laughing gas and oral conscious sedation. Laughing gas is a mild sedative that helps you feel calm and relaxed during your visit, and it wears off quickly. Oral conscious sedation is a stronger option taken as a pill before your appointment, helping you feel deeply relaxed while remaining awake and responsive.

Is dental sedation safe?

Yes, dental sedation is safe when administered by experienced professionals. Our team is trained to monitor your comfort and safety throughout your visit. We will review your medical history and discuss any concerns before recommending the best sedation option for you.

Will I be able to drive after using sedation?

It depends on the type of sedation you receive. If you use laughing gas, you'll be able to drive yourself home shortly after your appointment because it wears off quickly. However, if you take oral conscious sedation, you will need someone to drive you to and from your visit, as the effects can last for several hours.
