Experience Dentistry Free from Stress and Anxiety
At our Dental Office in Mississauga, we offer a range of anesthetic and sedation options designed to prevent pain and discomfort during your procedure. Depending on your personalized treatment plan, needs, and the expert recommendation of your dentist or specialist, we may combine several methods to ensure your comfort and safety.
Types of Sedation
Sedation generally falls into three main categories:
Local Freezing
This is the familiar, reliable numbing of a small area using a local anesthetic injection. While you may feel pressure, you won’t experience pain.
Sedation
Using prescription medication, laughing gas, or IV administration, sedation keeps you awake but deeply relaxed. It’s often combined with local freezing for optimal comfort.
Sleep Dentistry
General anesthesia or deep sedation makes you nearly or completely unconscious. Most patients don’t remember the procedure and will feel drowsy even after waking. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you as you recover.
The Benefits of Dental Sedation
Sedation dentistry helps patients from all walks of life overcome various challenges. Here are some key benefits:
Overcoming Dental Anxiety
Fear of the dentist should never keep you from getting the care you need. Whether your anxiety is mild or severe, sedation can help you feel calm and safe during treatment.
Make Time Fly By
For lengthy procedures, sedation keeps you comfortable and relaxed, making the time pass quickly. IV sedation, in particular, often feels like the procedure was over in an instant.
Tailored for Your Personal Needs
Do you have a sensitive gag reflex, chronic restlessness, or find local freezing ineffective? Sedation can be customized to suit your situation, ensuring dental care is accessible and comfortable for everyone.

Yes. If sedation is used, it’s important to have a friend or family member drive you home and stay with you. This helps ensure your safety while the sedation fully wears off.
Recovery time varies based on the sedation type, but drowsiness can last between 2 to 8 hours. We recommend setting aside at least 24 hours after your procedure to rest before resuming normal activities.
