Our Sedation Options
Relative Analgesia (RA)
Commonly called “happy gas”, this lighter option is a good fit for patients who want to stay awake and aware but need help relaxing. Happy gas combines nitrous oxide with oxygen through a comfortable nose mask, working quickly to reduce both anxiety and pain.
The sedative effects of happy gas are felt very quickly, usually within 2-3 minutes of inhaling the gas. The effects wear off fast, so you can resume normal activities straight after treatment. It’s particularly popular with patients who are nervous but don’t want deep sedation.
Oral Sedation
For some patients the challenging part of visiting the dentist is arriving for the appointment. Certain anti-anxiety medications taken an hour before your appointment can help with this anxiety.
You’ll remain awake and responsive throughout your treatment but feel relaxed, calm and less anxious. It’s an excellent choice for patients who want a stress-free visit without needles or masks.
If this is an option you’re interested in exploring, we can refer you to a trusted specialist for that service.
For many people, going to the dentist causes great anxiety. The thought of even the simplest of treatments can leave them feeling uncomfortable enough to avoid getting the care they know they need. Fortunately, we provide anti-anxiety techniques and technologically advanced therapies that virtually eliminate any discomfort during your procedures.
Technological Investments That Enhance Your Care
Plaza Dental Centre has incorporated a variety of state-of-the-art equipment to provide less invasive and more efficient services. Some of these include:
- Dental Lasers and Drill Free Fillings: Identifying weak areas of tooth enamel make it possible to use gentle air abrasion to clean away the earliest signs of cavities, allowing for small fillings that don’t require any injections.
- Diagnodent Decay Detection: Screen for tooth decay at its earliest stages, before it’s visible on an X-ray. Early detection allows for the least invasive treatment (and sometimes complete reversal using non-invasive restorations).
- SIROLaser: Manage painful inflammation without the need for prescription antibiotics or over-the-counter pain relievers.
A Comfortable Environment Where Patients Come First
At Plaza Dental Centre, we’re concerned about far more than just the health of your teeth. Bettering your overall wellness and quality of life is something that we consider during every treatment plan. From your past experiences to your future smile goals, we’re here to help you make a healthy smile a comfortable reality.
