Sedation Dentistry

At George Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. That’s why we specialize in sedation dentistry, providing a safe and comfortable experience tailored to your needs. Whether you’re feeling nervous or simply want to streamline your dental work, our sedation options ensure your visit is as stress-free as possible.

Dr. George has continued the legacy of a practice dedicated to helping anxious patients, offering personalized care that helps even the most apprehensive patients feel at ease. In fact, many of our patients have become so comfortable over time that they’ve transitioned from IV sedation to just basic numbing!

Is Sedation Right for Me?

Sedation dentistry isn’t just for patients with dental anxiety—it’s also ideal for those who want to:

Complete multiple procedures in one visit.

Avoid discomfort during longer or more complex treatments.

Overcome sensitive gag reflexes or difficulty sitting still for extended periods.

If you’ve ever avoided dental care because of fear or inconvenience, sedation could be the solution you need to take control of your oral health.

Our Sedation Options

We offer three levels of sedation methods to ensure your comfort:

Nitrous Oxide

Also known as laughing gas. This is a great option for someone who has mild anxiety or just wants something to help relax during their appointments. The nice part about nitrous oxide is you don’t need a driver to and from your visit.

Oral Conscious Sedation

A safe and easy option to help you relax while remaining conscious and responsive, but in a deeply relaxed state. This is ideal for managing anxiety during routine or moderately complex treatments. This type of sedation can make you forget what happens during the procedure, which most patients like.

General Anesthesia (IV Sedation)

For those needing a deeper, unconscious level of sedation, this option provides complete relaxation, even for lengthy or extensive procedures. This sedation is reserved for severe anxiety and more complex or invasive procedures. Patients are completely unaware and unconscious during their dental procedures. It’s more comprehensive than what’s typically offered for procedures like wisdom tooth extractions, giving you peace of mind and total comfort.

What to Expect

From the moment you arrive, we prioritize your comfort and well-being. Before beginning sedation, we’ll review your medical history, explain the process, and ensure you feel completely informed. During treatment, you’ll be closely monitored to ensure your safety and relaxation.

You’ll also receive our signature Comfort Kit, complete with:

Televisions mounted on the ceilings.

Big windows overlooking a peaceful garden.

Noise-cancelling headphones.

Cozy blankets.

Stress-relieving squeeze balls.

Warm neck wraps and eye masks

A warm essential oil infused towel at the end of the procedure

These thoughtful touches are available to every patient, whether or not you’re receiving sedation.
