At Horton Family Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for some patients. Sedation dentistry allows you to receive the care you need in a calm, relaxed, and comfortable state.
Whether you experience dental anxiety, have a strong gag reflex, or need more extensive treatment, our sedation options are designed to help you feel at ease throughout your visit.
It is commonly recommended for patients who:
A mild sedative inhaled through a small mask that helps you feel calm and relaxed. Effects wear off quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities soon after your visit.
A prescribed medication taken before your appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed and drowsy during treatment. Many patients remember little of the procedure afterward.
A deeper form of sedation administered directly into the bloodstream for patients who need a higher level of relaxation or are undergoing more complex procedures.
We take a personalized approach to determine if sedation is appropriate for your care. During your consultation, we review your medical history, comfort level, and treatment plan to ensure safety and effectiveness.
