Sedation at Viva Dental Orangeville
Sedation Dentist in Orangeville
With sedation our dentist helps people who are worried about treatments like dental implants and wisdom teeth removal, or those who are just nervous about visiting a dentist.
Sleep dentistry, also known as pain-free dentistry, helps patients relax and even doze off while getting better oral health. We have different choices to lessen potential pain depending on what kind of procedures you need, your personal history, and what you’re comfortable with.
Our dental clinic doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all approach.
You can choose from local numbing, taking pills, breathing in special gases, and getting medicines through a vein. These techniques use different kinds of calming and numbing substances that are customized for each person and what they need.
What is Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep dentistry is a high-level way to make you really relaxed during dental work. It involves using a mix of special drugs given through a vein that make you feel dreamy and calm throughout the whole procedure.
Afterward, when you wake up, you usually won’t remember what happened and it might feel like only a short time has gone by. It could be like you had a great, refreshing sleep.
Sleep dentistry is a well-liked option for things like dental implants or taking out wisdom teeth, as well as other cosmetic and surgery-type dental procedures. It could be a good choice if you have trouble getting numb, if your teeth are sensitive, or if you tend to gag easily. Sedation dentistry in Orangeville might also work well for you and can make it possible to finish a complicated dental treatment all in just one visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you feel calm and comfortable during dental treatment. It’s commonly chosen for dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, or longer appointments.What types of dental sedation are available?
Common options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation (a pill taken before treatment), and IV sedation. The right choice depends on your anxiety level, medical history, and the procedure.Is sedation dentistry safe?
For most patients, sedation is safe when provided by trained dental professionals with proper screening and monitoring. You’ll be asked about medications, health conditions, and allergies to ensure it’s appropriate for you.Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?
Not usually. Many patients are “awake but very relaxed” with nitrous or oral sedation. IV sedation can feel deeper, and some patients remember little of the visit, but it’s typically not the same as general anesthesia.Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry?
Sedation may be recommended if you have fear of the dentist, past traumatic experiences, difficulty getting numb, a strong gag reflex, special healthcare needs, or you need multiple procedures completed efficiently.How should I prepare for a sedation dentistry appointment?
Preparation depends on sedation type. You may be told to avoid food/drink for a set period, wear comfortable clothing, and provide a full list of medications. For oral or IV sedation, you’ll usually need a responsible adult to drive you home.What can I expect after sedation dentistry?
You may feel sleepy, groggy, or unsteady for a few hours—especially after oral or IV sedation. Plan to rest, avoid driving, and follow post-op instructions. Most patients return to normal the next day.Can I drive myself home after sedation?
Nitrous oxide: often yes, because it wears off quickly
Oral sedation / IV sedation: typically no—you’ll need a ride home and should avoid driving for the rest of the day
How much does sedation dentistry cost in Canada?

Coverage depends on your plan and the reason for sedation. Some plans cover sedation for certain procedures or medical needs, while others classify it as an elective add-on. Your clinic can help pre-check your benefits before treatment.
