Leave your anxiety at the door! From amenities to sedation, we offer multiple comfort options to ensure a relaxing experience during your visit.

A Truly Calm and Relaxing Dental Experience for Your Comfort

At Family Dental Care Alliston, we understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for some patients. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry to help you feel completely at ease. Whether you experience mild nervousness or severe dental anxiety, our safe and effective sedation options make your treatment as comfortable as possible.

No More Dental Anxiety

Sedation dentistry helps eliminate fear and anxiety, allowing you to receive the dental care you need without stress. You’ll feel calm and relaxed throughout your appointment.

Comfortable and Pain-Free Treatment

With sedation, you won’t feel discomfort during your procedure. This is especially beneficial for patients undergoing longer treatments or those with a low pain threshold.

Fewer Appointments, More Efficient Care

Because you’ll be relaxed, our dentists can complete multiple procedures in a single visit, reducing the need for multiple appointments and saving you time.

Our Gentle Sedation Options for a Comfortable Visit

At Family Dental Care Alliston, we provide two safe and effective sedation options to help you feel at ease:

Laughing Gas

Perfect for mild to moderate anxiety, laughing gas provides quick relaxation that wears off rapidly after treatment.

Takes effect within minutes
Conscious and able to respond throughout treatment
Safe for children and adults
Drive yourself home after treatment

Oral Conscious Sedation

For patients with moderate to severe anxiety, oral sedation offers deeper relaxation while remaining conscious.

Take prescribed medication before appointment
Feel deeply relaxed but awake
Little to no memory of treatment
Must have someone drive you home

Choosing Your Sedation Method

For Mild Anxiety

Laughing gas provides gentle relaxation while keeping you fully aware. It's ideal for routine procedures when you need just a little extra comfort.

For Moderate to Severe Anxiety

Oral conscious sedation offers deeper relaxation and is perfect for longer procedures or patients with stronger dental fears.

Common Procedures Using Sedation

Wisdom teeth extractions
Root canal therapy
Complex restorative work
Multiple procedures in one visit

Your Safety is Our Priority

Our board-certified dentists closely monitor you throughout your sedation treatment. Our modern facility is equipped with advanced monitoring technology, ensuring your complete safety and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?

No, sedation dentistry helps you feel calm and relaxed, but you will remain awake and able to respond to instructions.

Is sedation dentistry safe for children?

Yes, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is a safe and effective sedation option commonly used for children who experience dental anxiety.

How long does the sedation effect last?

It depends on the type of sedation. Laughing gas wears off quickly, while oral sedation may take a few hours to wear off completely.

Can I drive home after sedation?

If you receive laughing gas, you can drive yourself home. However, if you take oral sedation, you will need someone to drive you home.

How do I prepare for my sedation dentistry appointment?

Follow your dentist’s instructions carefully, which may include avoiding food or drink for a few hours before your visit.

Is sedation covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by provider and plan. Our team can help you check with your insurance provider to determine if sedation is covered.

Can I eat before my appointment if I’m getting sedation?

For oral sedation, you may be asked to avoid eating for a few hours before your visit. Laughing gas typically does not require fasting.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are rare but may include slight drowsiness, dizziness, or nausea, which typically resolve quickly.

How do I know which sedation option is right for me?

During your consultation, our dentists will discuss your needs and recommend the best sedation option for you.

Can I request sedation for routine cleanings?

Yes, if you experience anxiety during cleanings, sedation can be used to help you feel more comfortable.
