This journey of providing relaxing and painless dental experiences is expertly led by Dr. Thomas Hale, our distinguished dentist. Together with our highly skilled team, we aim to alleviate your dental anxieties and fears, replacing them with calm and comfort.

Sedation dentistry is a specialized area of dentistry that involves the use of sedatives during dental procedures. But why is it important? It’s simple — many patients grapple with dental phobias or have a low pain threshold. For others, they may have a hypersensitive gag reflex, which can make dental procedures a challenge. Here’s where sedation dentistry steps in.

Our practice’s approach to sedation dentistry ranges from a mild sedation to relax you, to a heavier sedation so you can sleep through your treatment. All forms of sedation are tailored to you to create a soothing and stress-free dental visit. It’s our promise of a more relaxed and pleasant experience in the dentist’s chair.

Every patient we welcome into our practice is unique, and their level of comfort during dental procedures varies. Our approach is simple but effective: after in-depth discussions about your medical history, your anxieties or concerns, and the nature of the procedure, we will suggest the most appropriate sedation method for you.

Often referred to as “laughing gas,” Nitrous Oxide Sedation is a light sedative administered via a mask placed over your nose. This sedation method allows you to relax deeply without losing consciousness. The beauty of this approach is that the effect of the gas subsides quickly after the mask is removed, leaving you in a state where you can typically drive yourself home post-procedure.

Some of our patients may require a deeper level of sedation. In such instances, we offer Oral Conscious Dental Sedation. This method involves taking a pill before your appointment, which will induce a state of drowsiness while still leaving you conscious. One significant advantage of oral sedation is that it often leaves you with little to no memory of the procedure, further minimizing any associated stress or fear.

When you come in for your appointment, the ever-friendly Dr. Hale will conduct a thorough review of your dental and medical history. He will patiently listen to your concerns, all while explaining the possible options available to address them. His passion lies in making every visit as relaxed and comfortable as possible, a promise he has been fulfilling through his many years of experience in sedation dentistry.

If sedation is chosen as the right path for you, our dedicated team will walk you through each step. They’ll provide you with a detailed overview of what to expect from your chosen sedation method. Remember, your comfort, safety, and peace of mind are our primary focus and motivator.
