Sedation Dentistry Vancouver
Creating a Worry-Free Dental Experience
Visiting the dentist’s office shouldn’t cause bouts of anxiety or fear. Unfortunately, many patients have dental trauma that results in missed appointments and neglected oral hygiene. It is the goal of Dr. Kelly and our talented team to serve as a haven that promotes comfort and compassion. We do this by offering two forms of sedation – nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. If you think you may need help to reduce your nerves, call our office so that we can create a worry-free dental experience.

Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is commonly used for various dental procedures, helping create a sense of relaxation during treatment. It involves taking a prescribed pill before your dental visit, which helps increase comfort levels and reduce anxiety. This type of dental sedation ensures pain-free dental care, making complex procedures or surgical operations less stressful if you have high anxiety or a low pain threshold.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
One widely favored approach to sedation dentistry involves the use of nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. This sedative creates a calming sensation, reducing anxiety during dental appointments. It’s delivered through a comfortable mask that fits over your nose and keeps you in a conscious yet relaxed state throughout treatment. The effects dissipate promptly after the mask is removed, making it perfect should you need to drive yourself home or back to work after your appointment.
