Feel Calm & Comfortable During Every Procedure
At Encino Dream Smile, you’ll find understanding faces and gentle care focused on your comfort. Dental appointments can feel stressful, but we’ll help you experience dentistry in a positive and calming way. Each time you return, you’ll notice your anxiety decreasing and your comfort growing.
Your peace of mind matters. That is why you have three sedation options available. You’ll receive guidance to choose the type that matches both your comfort needs and your treatment plan. Your sedation choices include:
- Laughing Gas – Feel your tension melt away within minutes as you breathe in this safe and mild gas. You’ll stay awake but feel relaxed and at ease. When your treatment ends, you’ll quickly return to normal. There’s no drowsiness, so you can drive home and continue your day.
- Oral Conscious Sedation – Take a prescribed pill before your appointment that helps you stay calm and comfortable. You’ll feel deeply relaxed but still able to respond. Since this medication takes time to wear off, you’ll need someone to drive you home. There is not an hourly rate for oral conscious sedation – it’s a flat rate, which makes it cost-effective.
- IV Sedation – Drift into deep relaxation while your dental procedure is completed. You’ll have little memory or sensation of the procedure, making it perfect if you want to be completely unaware. You’ll need a friend or family member to take you home afterward.
During your visit, you can stay cozy with soft blankets and pillows while relaxing in your treatment chair. You can also enjoy your favorite shows on TV to help time pass quickly during your procedure.
