Sedation Dentistry

For patients who have dental fear or anxiety, we offer multiple sedation options. For everything from a hygiene visit all the way to full arch treatment; we can make every patient comfortable.

If the thought of dental treatment fills you with dread, then consider sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry enables patients who have a low pain threshold, very sensitive teeth, a gag reflex, or moderate-to-severe anxiety the ability to undergo dental treatment. Talk with Dr. Tin Le at Northwest Implant Center who can review your options from simple sedation treatments to more complex techniques, such as IV sedation. He'll make your dentistry anxiety-free.
