Sedation Dentistry Services

Do fear and anxiety about a dentist appointment ever place limits on your dental health? With sedation dentistry at Smiles for Centreville, we take away your anxiety so that you remain completely relaxed during your dental treatment. You won’t feel anything during the procedure, and, most likely, you will remember little about it afterward. Make dental anxiety a thing of the past!

What to Expect When Sedated

You should expect to feel relaxed while sedated. To be on the safe side you will need to arrange for a ride to and from your appointment. Since some sedatives take bit longer to wear off, it’s possible you may not remember much from your procedure. In fact, many patients say they feel as though they have just woken from a great nap once the medication wears off.

Types of Sedation Offered

We are pleased to offer three types of sedation for our patients: oral, Nitrous Oxide (inhalation conscious), and IV conscious sedation. We will look at your medical history, the type of dental treatment you are scheduled for, and your personal preference to determine the right alternative for you.

Oral Sedation

If you don’t like needles, this type of sedation may be the perfect option for you! Instead you either swallow a sedative medication or let it dissolve under your tongue prior to the procedure. You’ll feel the effects of oral sedation within minutes.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

This option is also known as inhalation conscious sedation or laughing gas and is a great anti-anxiety medication. You simply breathe it through your nose during treatment and you’ll be able to relax.

IV Sedation (Sleep)

Typically used mainly for major dental procedures, IV conscious sedation is administered through an IV while you are in the office. Smiles for Centreville is proud to work with Dr. Teresa Roberts, a board-certified anesthesiologist for all of your sedation needs.

This review is actually from Kirk Gillespie, Dan’s wife. I have been with Dr Hutchison for over 30 years and for a good reason. He is an excellent dentist and takes great care to intentionally hire additional dentists and staff who share his values, great customer service and excellent skills. The front staff is always so welcoming and friendly and every hygienist is terrific. I have and will continue to recommend Smiles for Centreville has the best dental office in town.

Centreville Smiles has been my family’s dentists for a couple of decades now. Their support staff is top notch (shout out to Nicole). I always see Dr. Hutchinson. He is always upbeat, kind and friendly. He listens to my concerns and is always honest with his assessment. He is an experienced, skilled dentist. I would (and have) recommended him to others new to the area looking for a dentist.

I have the best hygenist ever! Lisa always takes such good care of me. I love the staff but Lisa is the best!

I went after a long day at work to have a permanent crown put in. It took a few extra minutes to get the fit just right. Dr. Gorman and his hygienist, Michelle, were so very sweet and respectful of the extra time it took…I never would have noticed, as my treatment there every time is wonderful. But today, they outdid themselves again.

“Dr. Marc and the entire team at Smiles for Centreville are absolutely fantastic! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. Dr Marc is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain everything during my visit. I highly recommend Smile Bright Dental for anyone looking for top-notch dental care in a friendly and professional environment!”
