Pain-free dentistry
Calm treatments, for children and adults
If fear or anxiety has kept you away from the dentist, there are options to make treatment comfortable.
Computer-assisted anesthesia
A device delivers the anesthetic slowly and steadily, which reduces the discomfort of the injection.
Conscious sedation with nitrous oxide
Breathed in through a nasal mask. The patient stays awake and calm, and the effect wears off a few minutes after finishing. Ideal for mild fear or anxiety.
Deep or intravenous sedation
The medication goes into a vein and the patient falls asleep, with an anesthesiologist throughout the procedure. For severe anxiety, children who cannot cooperate or patients with disabilities.
Vital-sign monitoring
The patient's vital signs are continuously monitored throughout sedation, from start to finish.
