Make Dental Visits Peaceful by Getting Sedation

Avoiding the dentist due to fear can turn small dental issues into bigger problems. At West County Dental, we see this concern often and offer solutions. Our sedation options help make dental care more approachable if you feel anxious. Sedation dentistry creates a sense of calm during your visit. You’ll find your anxiety decreases significantly. The time in the dental chair seems shorter, and you may have only faint memories of your treatment.

You can choose from these types of sedation:

  • Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide) – This gentle option provides a light, pleasant feeling while you remain fully awake. The effects fade away soon after we finish, so you can drive yourself and get back to your regular activities.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation – With just one pill before your visit, you’ll drift into a state of deep calm. You’ll feel relaxed and worry-free and will remember nothing. Plan for someone to drive you home, since the effects last longer.
  • IV Sedation – For the deepest comfort, this option creates a dreamlike state where dental fears disappear. It works well for longer treatments or if you feel extremely anxious about dental work.

Your safety guides everything we do at West County Dental. We carefully check your health background and keep watch over you during the entire visit. Our skilled team stays by your side from start to finish, making sure you remain comfortable and secure.
