Sedation is a significant part of dentistry. Many patients could feel too anxious to visit the dentist, fearing the procedures could be painful and time-consuming. However, this isn’t true. We suggest mild sedation in the form of nitrous oxide, which is a gaseous sedative. For more complicated procedures, such as dental implants, gum grafting, etc. we would suggest deeper sedation to prevent pain and discomfort.

Do you fear going to the dentist as you’re quite nervous about dental procedures? Many patients have a misconception in their mind that dental procedures would be painful and uncomfortable. This is absolutely untrue. At PS Dental, we treat every patient with a lot of care and make sure your visit is comfortable and convenient.
We use oral sedation to help calm our patients’ nerves. Sedation need not only be in the form of deep-sleep inducing anesthesia. Under the effect of conscious sedation, patients would be partially aware of their surroundings, but in a relaxed state of body and mind. This allows us to treat patients with ease and also helps you stay calm during procedures.
When it comes to dental sedation, there are a few available options, such as gaseous sedation, intravenous sedation, and oral medication.
Whenever the patient has to undergo a complicated dental treatment, such as removing teeth or oral surgery due to external trauma, the dentist would recommend intravenous sedation. A strong sedative would be administered through an injection directly to the patient’s vein. It usually lasts for a longer time, and the patient would be put into a deep sleep. They wouldn’t have any memory of what happened during the procedure.
The effect of the sedatives would wear off in a while, depending on the type of sedation. Also, they wouldn’t have any kind of ill-effects after the procedure is completed.
⚠️ Notice: We do offer dental implant services. Recently, third parties have promoted “free implants” tied to fake insurance. Our pages labeled “Guide” are informational only—we never sell insurance or request payment for such programs. If someone claims otherwise, please contact us.
