Obtain A Full & Beautiful Smile With Dental Implants

Whether you experience stress due to certain procedures or just by stepping into the dentist’s office, sedation can help put those worries to bed. Oral & nitrous oxide sedation in King City, ON, is available for patients who require that extra calming support so our dentists can get to work on strengthening, enhancing, and/or beautifying your smile!

What Is Oral & Nitrous Oxide Sedation?

Oral Sedation: This sedative is administered to the patient in pill form before starting the procedure. It can put patients into a deeply relaxed state, although they stay awake and can follow directions. Oral sedation may be ideal for patients with medium to high dental fear.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation: This sedative is also known as "laughing gas" and is breathed in via a mask. It can prompt a mild calming effect while patients stay alert and can communicate with our dentist. The effects should disappear quickly after the mask is removed to make for a pleasant dental experience.

What Type Of Patients Are Candidates For Sedation?

• Individuals Suffering From Gag Reflex Issues: This service can help patients who have trouble controlling their gag reflex during dental procedures by calming the reflex, which may allow our dentist to operate more quickly.
• Patients Going Through Lengthy Procedures: Sedation might be advantageous for patients who require extensive dental work because it can keep you feeling relaxed and at ease for longer periods of time, easing the weariness and tension that can come with sitting through lengthy treatments.
• Children Who Feel Nervous: This service can support young patients who might be afraid or unable to remain motionless during a dental appointment by soothing their anxiety so they can receive necessary dental care in a stress-free setting.

How To Prepare For Your Sedation Appointment

• Fasting: Do not eat anything before your appointment to ensure an empty stomach.
• Comfort: Dress in loose-fitting, comfortable apparel, especially if undergoing several procedures during one visit.
• Transportation: After your appointment, arrange for a ride home because sedatives may make driving unsafe.
