Overcome Dental Anxiety With Sedation Dentistry in Lincroft

Sedation dentistry can help you relax, control your gag reflex, and get through lengthy procedures like full-mouth reconstruction without stress or discomfort. You may remember little to nothing about your visit afterward. Imagine actually looking forward to your next dental appointment—it's possible with sedation.

Beyond calming anxiety, sedation also speeds up treatment time by allowing us to work more efficiently while you're fully relaxed. Whether you've canceled appointments out of fear or simply struggled to sit still in the chair, our sedation options make it possible to get the care your smile needs without stress.

Stay Calm & Comfortable With Sedation

We offer three levels of sedation to fit different comfort needs and procedure types. Whether you need mild relaxation or a deeper level of calm for a longer appointment, we can make your visit manageable and stress-free.

Inhaled Sedation

A gentle mixture of gas and oxygen produces a mild, calming euphoria almost immediately. It's safe for children and adults and wears off quickly after your appointment. Unlike other types of sedation, you'll feel alert again right away.

Oral Conscious Sedation

A prescription medication taken before your visit keeps you deeply relaxed from the moment you arrive through the entire procedure. You'll need to arrange a ride home afterward, as the effects of the medication linger.

IV Sedation

Our strongest sedation option takes effect almost immediately and produces a dreamlike state. Most patients remember very little about their procedure afterward. As with oral sedation, you may feel the effects for a few hours.

Enjoy Comfortable, Stress-Free Dentistry

Our team works to make you feel at ease the entire time you are with us. We greet every patient with warmth and take the time to understand your concerns before any treatment begins.

If anxiety is still a factor, sedation is available at any point during your visit. Our dentists are highly qualified to administer all three sedation options we offer, and we monitor you carefully throughout your appointment.

We also understand that cost is a source of anxiety for many patients, especially those without insurance. Our dental care plan covers two annual cleanings and exams, X-rays, and fluoride treatments. It also includes discounts on other services.

Taking care of your smile shouldn't feel out of reach, and we're committed to making sure it isn't.

Look forward to your next dental appointment with sedation dentistry in Lincroft.

Common questions

Is dental sedation safe?+

Sedation dentistry is completely safe. Inhaled sedation uses mild laughing gas, which is safe even for children. Oral conscious sedation works using a small, FDA-approved pill. IV sedation is expertly administered by our trained staff and can be adjusted throughout treatment.

Why is overcoming dental fear important?+

It's important to overcome dental fear so you can keep your mouth and body healthy. Severe fear can keep you from getting dental care for decades at a time. Because oral health affects overall health, this can lead to suffering not only in your mouth but also in other areas of the body.

What should I expect after dental sedation?+

Your experience after receiving dental sedation can vary based on the type of sedation used. Inhaled sedation wears off in minutes, while the effects of oral sedation and IV sedation may last for a few hours. With those two forms, you may feel drowsy or sluggish. You may benefit from resting after receiving oral or IV sedation.
