Sedation Dentistry in Mill Woods
At Arch Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients. Sedation dentistry is designed to create a calm, comfortable, and relaxing experience while helping you receive the care you need. Depending on your comfort level and the type of procedure, we offer several forms of sedation so you can select the one that is most appropriate for you.
Sedation Dentistry
Types of Sedation
Sedation Dentistry
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a small pill before your appointment begins. The medication gradually makes you feel drowsy, similar to taking a light nap. It also has a mild amnesic effect, meaning you may not remember much of the appointment.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous Oxide (Happy Gas)
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a safe and effective option often used for extractions and other procedures. It works quickly and wears off just as fast, so you will not experience lingering drowsiness. Most patients can safely drive themselves home after treatment.
Sedation Dentistry
Numbing Medications
For additional comfort, we use local anaesthetic to thoroughly numb teeth before treatment. To make this process even easier, a numbing gel is applied first so you barely feel the injection.

Advantages of Sedation Dentistry
Sedation offers many benefits for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety. It allows you to:
- Complete more treatment in fewer visits
- Stay calm and relaxed throughout your appointment
- Overcome barriers caused by dental fear
- Build confidence for future visits
Many patients find that after one comfortable experience with sedation, they feel much more at ease coming in for regular checkups and cleanings.
