Calm Your Nerves with Dental Sedation & Comfortable Care

All our staff is trained to make sure you receive the best dental care in the most comfortable manner possible. Not only will our team answer all your questions before we get started, we’ll also offer you a choice of sedation to ensure a pleasant visit. We don’t want you to experience any dental anxiety here!

Along with cozy amenities like essential oils, dim lighting, and soothing music, we also offer three levels of sedation:

Laughing Gas – Our lightest sedation method is also called inhaled sedation. You’ll breathe in a sweet-smelling gas through a comfortable mask. In moments, you’ll feel relaxed from head to toe, and you’ll forget all about dental care.
Oral Conscious Sedation – For a deeper sedative effect, we’ll prescribe an FDA-approved pill for you to take ahead of time. By the time your procedure begins, you’ll be completely at ease.
IV Sedation – Our deepest level of sedation is administered intravenously. It will put you in a sleeplike state, and you won’t remember anything about your procedure afterward. This sedation method works well if you’re having a complex procedure or want to complete multiple procedures in one visit.

Change the way you experience dental treatment with our calming sedation options in Vancouver. Call Oasis Dental today at 360-226-8264 to make an appointment, or you can schedule online.

Common Questions About Sedation Options

Do sedation options work for most patients?

Over the years, we have found that at least one of our three sedation options will benefit any patient. If you’re nervous about your visit with us, you’ll have your choice of sedation options. We’ll discuss each one in detail, answer any questions you have about sedation, and help you decide on the method that’s right for you.

What sedation options are available for me?

There are many different types of patients, so we offer multiple sedation options in our practice. Choose from laughing gas for mild sedation, oral conscious sedation in pill form for moderate sedation, or IV sedation that will put you in a sleeplike state. Any of these methods work great at easing dental anxiety and helping patients relax comfortably in our chair.

Are your sedation options safe?

Yes, all of our sedation options are safe. Our team has been trained to administer all the forms of sedation we use, including laughing gas, oral sedation, and IV sedation. Each type of sedation works well for a particular kind of patient or situation. We can talk you through your sedation options and your medical history to help you decide on the best option for you.
