Relax With Soothing Sedation

As our patient, you'll experience dental care without anxiety. One of the ways we ease your nerves is with sedation.

We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help you relax immediately. You'll feel a gentle wave of calm while remaining fully aware.

The effects wear off quickly after your appointment ends. You can drive yourself home with no lingering drowsiness.

Our anti-anxiety medication is ideal for deeper sedation needs. You'll take a simple pill before your visit as directed by your dentist.

When you arrive, your nervousness disappears. You will need a friend or family member to drive you home.

Feel at Ease in Our Pleasant Office

Sedation isn't the only way we ease nerves. You can relax with our several amenities.

Soft, cozy blankets keep you warm during your entire appointment. Pillows offer you support in the dentist chair.

We also have headphones that let you enjoy calming music and block out dental sounds. Soothing essential oils create a spa-like atmosphere that helps ease tension naturally.

Our modern technology also makes your treatment faster and less stressful. Digital X-rays capture detailed images with less radiation than traditional methods. The iTero scanner creates perfect models of your teeth without messy impressions. Our panoramic imaging shows your entire mouth in one quick scan.

We look forward to helping you with relieving dental anxiety in Beaverton.

Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

What sedation options do you offer for anxious patients?

We provide two effective sedation options to help you feel comfortable during your visit. Our nitrous oxide (laughing gas) offers immediate relaxation while keeping you fully aware throughout your treatment. For patients with higher anxiety levels, we offer anti-anxiety medication that you take before your appointment for deeper relaxation. Both options are safe and monitored carefully by our experienced dental team throughout your visit.

What amenities do you provide during treatment?

We offer several amenities to create a relaxing experience. Soft blankets and pillows keep you cozy throughout your entire appointment. We provide headphones so you can enjoy calming music while blocking out dental sounds. Essential oils create a soothing atmosphere that helps reduce anxiety naturally during your treatment.

What are the benefits of overcoming dental anxiety?

Overcoming dental anxiety leads to more regular checkups that catch small problems before they become serious issues. You'll experience less pain and save money by addressing dental concerns early rather than waiting until emergency treatment becomes necessary. Regular dental care directly improves your overall health, as poor oral health has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other serious conditions. Many of our patients who've conquered their dental fears report feeling more confident in other areas of life, showing that the benefits extend far beyond just your smile.
