  • It’s Normal to Feel Nervous

    Dental anxiety is incredibly common, and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Whether your fear comes from a past experience, a sensitive gag reflex, or simply the unknown—we understand.
    Our goal is to help you receive the care you need without stress, pain, or fear.

    “It’s our job to make you feel safe, not judged. Every patient deserves comfortable, compassionate care.”
    — Dr. Anna Weber

    What Is Root Canal Therapy

    Find the Level of Comfort That’s Right for You

    At Parkside Dental, we tailor sedation to your needs and comfort level. Every option is carefully monitored and designed to make your visit feel easy and relaxed.

    Sedation Options Available

    • Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

      A light, fast-acting option that helps you feel calm and comfortable throughout your treatment. You’ll stay awake, and the effects wear off within minutes—so you can safely drive home afterward.

    • Oral Sedation (Prescription Medication)

      Taken before your appointment, this mild-to-moderate option helps you feel deeply relaxed and less aware of the procedure. You’ll need someone to drive you to and from your visit.

    How Sedation Dentistry Works

    Total chair time: about one hour.

    Who Can Benefit

    Most patients are surprised by how quickly implant-supported dentures feel natural. Everyday activities like eating apples, steak, and corn on the cob become easier and more comfortable again.

    • Avoid the dentist due to fear or anxiety
    • Have a sensitive gag reflex or trouble sitting still

    • Struggle with local anesthesia not taking effect

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Will I be asleep during my treatment?

      With nitrous oxide or oral sedation, you’ll remain awake but very relaxed. Most patients remember little about the procedure.

    • Is sedation safe?

      Yes. We use only proven, carefully monitored methods, and your vital signs are tracked throughout your visit.

    • Can I drive myself home?

      If you receive nitrous oxide, yes—you’ll feel normal within minutes. If you take oral sedation, you’ll need someone to drive you.

    • How do I know which sedation option is right for me?

      Dr. Weber will review your medical history, comfort level, and procedure type before recommending the safest choice.

    • Do you offer sedation for children?

      We primarily provide sedation for adults and older teens, but we always tailor comfort care to each individual’s needs.
