Sedation dentistry for people who are afraid of the dentist
If a dental appointment causes you severe anxiety and stress, our compassionate team is here to help. With sedation, you go through your visit relaxed while still aware of your surroundings.
At Halcyon Dental, we understand the fear and discomfort many people experience when visiting the dentist. Our experienced staff work hard to make sure every patient feels safe, protected, and comfortable during their appointment, no matter how fearful they feel walking into our office. We believe everyone deserves quality dental care without being nervous or scared throughout their treatment.
A simple process
First, we offer you a free consultation to evaluate your needs. Together, we determine your oral health goals and the level of sedation needed to reach them. We review your X-rays together to identify any major or obvious issues. If you don’t have recent X-rays, we’ll take a complimentary panoramic X-ray at this visit.
Oral, IV, or both
Depending on your needs, you’ll be offered oral, intravenous (IV), or both options for your procedure. The form of sedation we offer is called conscious sedation. It’s the same “twilight” sedation most people experience during minor surgical and diagnostic procedures. Its use in dentistry has an excellent safety record, and medically speaking, most people who can undergo routine dental care can also receive conscious sedation very safely.
