Sedation Dentistry
For a child who simply can't relax for treatment, sleep dentistry lets them rest comfortably while we care for their smile, with the lightest, safest approach that fits.
Sleep dentistry is a friendly way of describing sedation that lets your child sleep, or doze comfortably, through their dental treatment. Rather than one single technique, it covers the options we tailor to your child so the visit is calm and stress-free.
Depending on your child's needs, it may mean oral sedation that makes them very drowsy, or general anesthesia for deeper, fully-asleep care.

Safety leads every choice

Sleep dentistry is ideal for children with significant dental anxiety, very young children needing a lot of treatment, and many kids with special healthcare needs. If your child has had a hard time at the dentist before, we'd love to help make the next visit a better one.
We'll always choose the lightest, safest option that lets your child rest easy and get the care they need.
It depends on the option chosen. Lighter sedation leaves them very drowsy but awake, while general anesthesia means they're fully asleep. We tailor it to your child.
We consider your child's age, anxiety level, health history, and how much treatment is needed, then recommend the lightest, safest option that works.
No. It also helps very young children, those needing extensive treatment, and many children with special healthcare needs.
