Sedation Dentist Matthews
Feel Relaxed in the Dental Office
One common reason why patients put off important dental appointments, like routine checkups and time-sensitive root canals is because they’re scared of visiting the dentist. This fear can emerge from a variety of reasons, including bad past experiences, anxiety, and overstimulation caused by the sights, sounds, and smells of the office. Our warm and welcoming team will help you feel right at home and do our best to put your nerves to rest, but if that’s not enough, we also offer sedation dentistry in Matthews.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is a fast-acting method of dental sedation that we administer via a small nose mask while you’re in the treatment chair. You’ll breathe in the sedation and its effects will quickly take place, putting you in a deep and comfortable state that will make your appointment fly by. One of the best benefits of nitrous oxide in Matthews is that the effects wear-off just as quickly as they kick-in, allowing you to carry on with the rest of your day as you normally would following your appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
We also offer oral conscious sedation in Matthews. This method is administered in the form of a pill, which means it takes a little longer to feel the effects—usually about an hour. Before your appointment, our team will prescribe the medication to you, typically one in the diazepam family, and will have you take it about an hour before you come to the office. That way, by the time you arrive, you’ll feel ready and relaxed to start your treatment. Because the effects of the medication can linger for up to eight hours, you’ll need to have a trusted friend or family member drop you off and pick you up from our office.
