Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry in Ormond Beach, FL

Dental anxiety shouldn’t prevent you from getting the care you need. At Dan Drake DDS and Associates in Ormond Beach, FL, we offer sedation dentistry to help patients feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable during their dental treatments. Whether you have a fear of the dentist, a sensitive gag reflex, or require extensive dental work, our sedation options ensure a stress-free experience tailored to your needs.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is a safe and effective option for reducing anxiety, minimizing discomfort, and making treatments more manageable. Sedation levels range from mild relaxation to complete sleep, depending on the patient’s needs and the procedure being performed.

Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry may be ideal for patients who:

  • Experience dental anxiety or fear.

  • Have difficulty sitting still for long periods.

  • Have a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth.

  • Struggle with a strong gag reflex.

  • Require multiple or complex procedures in one visit.

During your consultation, we will discuss your medical history and concerns to determine the best sedation option for you.
