Sedation Dentistry Near UBC Vancouver

If anxiety is the reason you have not been to a dentist in years, this is the page that matters. Sedation makes the appointment something you can get through.

How it works

We offer oral sedation and nitrous oxide. You stay awake and responsive - you can still talk to the dentist - but the unease and discomfort recede into the background. Most patients describe the appointment afterwards as a blur rather than an ordeal.

Who it helps

People with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty staying still for long appointments, or a bad experience somewhere in the past that never quite went away.

What to expect

Tell us at booking so we can allow the right time. With oral sedation you will need someone to drive you home. Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes, so you can usually drive yourself.

Common questions

Do you offer sedation for anxious patients?

Yes - oral sedation with nitrous oxide, to help anxious patients stay comfortable and relaxed during treatment.
