Sedation Dentistry - A stress-free visit, start to finish

If the thought of the dentist makes you tense up, you're not alone. Sedation dentistry is designed to help anxious patients feel calm enough to actually get the treatment they need — whether that's a routine cleaning or a longer restorative visit. ### Who sedation dentistry helps Our sedation dentistry for anxious patients is a good fit if you experience any of the following: - Dental anxiety or a fear of pain - A strong gag reflex - Difficulty getting fully numb with local anaesthetic - Past experiences that left you uneasy - Long or complex procedures ahead of you We primarily offer IV sedation, which keeps you deeply relaxed throughout the appointment. It's versatile enough for cleanings, fillings, root canals, and oral surgery. ### Safety and what to expect Dr. Farid Alenabi, a UBC Doctor of Dental Medicine with over twenty years of experience, personally provides your IV sedation. Our team is licensed and trained, we use non-opioid medications, and your vital signs are continuously monitored on medical-grade equipment. Your path to a calm visit follows four simple steps: 1. A consultation to review your medical history, preferences, and concerns 2. A few required forms to meet safety and regulatory standards 3. Your relaxed visit while we complete the treatment 4. An easy recovery as the sedation wears off — just arrange a ride home You won't be unconscious — most patients stay in a drowsy, deeply relaxed state and remember very little of the appointment.
