Sedation Dentistry
At Soni Dentistry, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent many patients from receiving the care they need. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry in London, Ontario, helping patients feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed during dental procedures. With sedation options tailored to your needs, even extensive treatments can be completed with minimal stress or discomfort.
Why Sedation Dentistry
Many patients avoid dental care due to fear or anxiety. Sedation dentistry can help if you:
- Suffer from dental anxiety or fear of the dentist
- Have had a traumatic dental experience in the past
- Have neurological conditions that make sitting still difficult
- Require extensive dental treatment in limited time
- Have extremely sensitive teeth or difficulty getting numb
- Experience gagging during procedures
With sedation, patients can feel calm, relaxed, or even asleep throughout their dental visit, making treatment much easier and more comfortable.
What Is Sedation and Anesthesia?
Sedation dentistry uses medications to reduce anxiety, control pain, and provide relaxation or deep sleep as needed. Depending on your needs and the procedure, our dental team will create a personalized sedation plan. At Soni Dentistry, we provide:
- Mild sedation with Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedatives
- Moderate intravenous (IV) sedation for more extensive procedures
These techniques allow patients to feel at ease while maintaining safety and comfort during dental care.
How Sedation Is Administered
Sedative medications are typically administered intravenously (IV), providing immediate relaxation. For patients nervous about IV placement, options include:
- Oral sedatives taken 45 minutes before the appointment
- EMLA numbing patches to make IV insertion more comfortable
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help relax before starting IV sedation
Our team ensures that each patient’s comfort is prioritized from start to finish.
Monitoring and Safety
Your safety is our top priority. During sedation, our anesthesia-trained team continuously monitors:
- Blood pressure
- Heart rate
- Respiratory rate
- Oxygen saturation
- EKG
These measures ensure a safe, controlled environment while you receive your dental care.
