Sedation

Yes, sedation dentistry is generally safe when administered by trained professionals. Our sedation dentist in Richmond Hill and team ensure your safety and monitor your condition throughout the procedure.

We offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and intravenous (IV) sedation. The choice depends on your comfort level and the complexity of the dental treatment.

The recovery time after sedation varies based on the type of sedation used. For nitrous oxide, you can typically resume regular activities, including driving, shortly after the procedure. For deeper sedation, it’s advisable to have a companion drive you home.

Our Richmond sedation dentistry is suitable for individuals with dental anxiety, fear, or those undergoing extensive dental procedures. Our team evaluates your health history to determine the most appropriate sedation option for you.

The duration of sedation varies based on the type of sedation used. Nitrous oxide has a quick onset and wears off rapidly, while oral or IV sedation effects may linger for a few hours after the procedure.
