Comfortable Care with Sedation Dentistry

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.

Happy Patients

Kudos to everyone at Smiles. Thank you for your covid 19 precautions. They are thorough, rational and considerate. I feel you have covered all of the bases from your outside check in to the extra PPE. You have created procedures that are easy to comply with and are sensible. These new steps show the safety of your staff and patients is most important to your practice. I have no problem with the rest of my family coming in for their appointments. See you in 6 months.

I could not have been more pleased with the staff and treatment received. Quick check in process. Clean facility. Friendly staff. A special shout out to Janis, who was patient and took the time to listen to me when sharing why I was anxious. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I have found my new dental home for both my sons and myself!

Amazing staff- knowledgeable and professional and still maintains the personal touch. Dentists- are amazing. And Lisa is the best hygienist ever!! Highly recommend! Adding to this review- had my last molar break over the weekend. The staff responded over the weekend to my request for an appointment , got me set up to see Dr. Gorman at the first available. Michelle and Dr. Gorman were great. The tooth is savable and now has a temporary crown. I go back in 3 weeks for the permanent and we will just go ahead and fix the other molar that has similar issues. Can’t recommend this office more! Thanks for taking care of me and my family for so many years!
