What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is generally for patients with dental anxiety, large procedures, or sensitivity to pain.

Levels of sedation range from mild relaxation to deep sedation. The level you need depends on your needs. At Sovrle Dental, our experienced team ensures your safety and comfort throughout the process.

Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is ideal for:

• Patients with dental anxiety or phobia.

• Those undergoing lengthy or complex procedures, like wisdom teeth removal.

• Individuals with a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth.

• Patients with difficulty sitting still for long periods.

• Anyone with a strong gag reflex.
