Experience Comfort with Sedation Dentistry at Our Poway Dental Office

Understanding that dental visits can be daunting, we at Gentle Dentistry in Poway prioritize your comfort by offering advanced sedation dentistry options. If you have dental anxiety, please inform us when booking your appointment, so we can tailor the experience to your needs.

Varieties of Sedation Dentistry Available

We offer a comprehensive range of sedation options to ensure each patient receives the care best suited to their comfort level. Whether it’s a routine procedure or more extensive dental work, our qualified team will help you choose the optimal sedation method.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

For patients looking to simply relax during their visit, laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is an effective and popular choice. It acts quickly to ease anxiety and dissipates rapidly after the procedure, allowing patients to recover without lasting effects.

Local Anesthesia and Nitrous Oxide Combination

For treatments like cavity fillings or minor dental procedures, we often use a combination of laughing gas and localized pain medication, which is administered directly to the affected area through the gums.

IV Sedation for Intensive Procedures

For more intensive dental work, IV sedation is available. This type of sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation as it affects the entire body, ensuring you feel nothing during the procedure.

Total Sedation for Oral Surgery

For complex procedures such as oral surgeries or full smile makeovers, total sedation or sleep dentistry may be necessary. This method allows you to be completely asleep, ensuring total comfort and immobility throughout longer procedures.

Personalized Sedation Dentistry

Our approach is to understand and address all your concerns before recommending a specific type of sedation. As experienced sedation dentists, we are committed to ensuring your dental experience is positive and stress-free.
