Calm your nerves with sedation dentistry. Many people feel nervous at the dentist’s office, but some experience dental anxiety that is powerful enough to keep them from scheduling appointments at all. Unfortunately, dental fears prevent many from getting the necessary treatment to maintain a healthy mouth. We use sedation dentistry to ensure your dental treatment is comfortable and painless every time you visit our office. Drs Rainey and Montalvo and team strive to make even those with dental anxiety feel calm and relaxed. We treat our patients like family, giving you the attention and time you deserve for a comfortable, stress-free experience.

If you suffer from dental anxiety, have had negative experiences at the dental office in the past, or feel nervous about your treatment, sedation dentistry can help you feel at ease so that you can receive the treatment you need and build confidence about dental care moving forward. Sedation dentistry may also be recommended if you have difficulty getting numb or have a sensitive gag reflex.
Sedation dentistry involves using a sedative medication to help you feel relaxed, calm, and comfortable. There are several types of sedation available, ranging from mild forms of sedation that simply help you feel relaxed to deeper forms of sedation that put you to sleep for the duration of your treatment. During your consultation, we will discuss dental treatment with you, along with any anxieties you may have. We will review your oral health needs, medical history, and treatment options with you. We will also discuss your level of comfort in the dental office. At that time, a recommendation will be made for the type of sedation you may want to consider. This will help us determine which form of sedation will provide you with the best results.
Regardless of which type of sedation you receive, we will monitor you closely during your visit to ensure that you are safe and comfortable. We may also provide you with instructions on how to prepare to receive sedation or what you should do after an appointment where you received sedation dentistry. For example, some forms of sedation dentistry require you to have someone available to drive you to and from your appointment.
If you have any questions about sedation dentistry or would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rainey or Dr. Montalvo, please contact our office today.
