Stress-Free Care with Sedation Dentistry
At Celina Family Dentistry, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients—especially when it involves complex procedures or dental anxiety. That’s why Dr. Newton and our compassionate team offer safe, personalized sedation dentistry options to help you feel relaxed and at ease throughout your visit.
Whether you’re nervous about an upcoming procedure or have a history of dental fear, we offer sedation solutions tailored to your needs, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. These techniques are safe for patients of all ages and designed to make your experience as calm, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.
A Sense of Calm with Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide, often known as “laughing gas,” is a trusted and gentle sedation option used for both children and adults. Ideal for patients with mild dental anxiety, this sedation method helps create a calm, relaxed experience during your visit.
Administered through a small mask placed comfortably over the nose, nitrous oxide takes effect within minutes—slowing the nervous system and creating a light, euphoric feeling. It’s safe, effective, and allows you to remain awake and responsive throughout your procedure. Once the mask is removed, the effects wear off quickly, meaning most patients can safely resume normal activities right after their appointment.
Deeper Relaxation with Oral Sedation
For patients undergoing more complex treatments—like tooth fillings, extractions, or those with moderate to severe dental anxiety—oral sedation can provide a deeper level of calm and comfort. At Celina Family Dentistry, Dr. Newton may recommend oral sedation to help make your experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
This form of sedation is administered in the form of a pill taken before your appointment, helping you enter a deep state of relaxation while remaining conscious and responsive throughout the procedure. Many patients report remembering little to nothing about their treatment—making oral sedation an excellent option for those with dental fears or lengthy procedures. Because the sedative effects linger, patients who choose oral conscious sedation will need to arrange for a trusted friend or family member to drive them to and from their appointment.
Making Your Visit Comfortable with Sedation Dentistry
Your dental needs are as unique as your smile, and at Celina Family Dentistry, we’re here to make every visit as comfortable and calm as possible. Whether you experience dental anxiety or are preparing for a more complex procedure, our sedation dentistry options are designed to help you relax and feel at ease.
Let us help you take the fear out of dental care with safe, personalized solutions for the whole family.
