Sedation Dentistry

Does the idea of visiting the dentist give you mild anxiety? Or does it leave you with a paralyzing fear? At Bear Creek Dental, we specialize in sedation dentistry; therefore we are prepared and ready for patients who suffer from dental phobias and anxieties. Different types of sedation we provide include oral sedation, a pill, nitrous oxide, and intravenous sedation. The type you receive will need to be discussed with our doctor during a consultation.


Sedation is a process used to establish a relaxed and calm state through the use of sedatives.  Sedation techniques can be used for any type of dental procedure, depending on the needs of the patient. In fact, it often makes patients feel as if a procedure has only lasted a few minutes instead of several hours. Questions to ask your doctor are “Will I be unconscious during the dental procedure?” or “Do I need someone to drive me home?” Regardless of the type of sedation, our doctor deems best for you, you are guaranteed to be safe in good hands.


If you have questions or concerns regarding sedation dentistry, please give us a call.
