Sedation dentistry
Some patients feel anxious, overwhelmed, or physically uncomfortable during dental treatment — and that’s completely normal. At Altima Promenade Dental & Pediatrics, we offer sedation options that help children, teens, and adults feel calm and supported. Every recommendation is based on your needs, your health history, and the level of comfort you require for a safe, predictable appointment.
Sedation can help patients who
- Feel nervous or anxious during treatment
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Struggle to sit comfortably for longer appointments
- Have sensory needs that make dental care challenging
- Are undergoing multiple or complex procedures
- Had difficult dental experiences in the past
- Are very young and need additional support
What to expect
Your dentist reviews your medical history, discusses comfort levels, and outlines which option is safest and most appropriate. Each step — how sedation works, how long it lasts, and what recovery looks like — is explained clearly so nothing feels uncertain.
We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation (when appropriate), and general anesthesia for eligible cases completed in a controlled clinical setting.
