    Call 289-275-1016

    Experience dentistry free from stress and anxiety

    Anesthetic and sedation options are available to prevent you from feeling pain and discomfort during your dental procedure. There are several methods available and several may be combined to give you complete coverage. The type of sedation or anesthesia used will depend on your personalized treatment plan, your personal needs and the expert opinion of your dentist or specialist.

    Types of Sedation

    The different kinds of sedation available can be summed up into three major groups. We can temporarily numb the small area receiving the work, You can be sedated so you are still awake but completely relaxed.

    Local Freezing

    Everyone is familiar with this reliable standard. We patiently numb the area and then carefully inject a local anesthetic to put a small area of your mouth to sleep. You may feel pressure but will not feel pain.

    The benefits of dental sedation

    Sedation and sleep dentistry are useful options that help us serve patients from all walks of life with many different challenges to overcome. Some of the benefits of sedation dentistry are as follows:

    Overcoming Dental Anxiety

    Sometimes the fear and worry can feel worse than the treatment itself. Dental anxiety shouldn’t stand between you and the dental treatment you need. If you have mild or extreme dental anxiety or fear is keeping you from seeking dental treatment, please speak up! We can help.

    Make Time Fly By

    For long procedures that leave you sitting in the chair with your mouth wide open for a long time, sedation will keep you relaxed and comfortable. Your procedure will be over before you know it. If you require IV sedation, it will feel like an instant has passed.

    Tailored for Your Personal Needs

    Do you have a sensitive gag reflex? Chronic restlessness or restless leg syndrome? Does local freezing just not work for you? Sedation is really helpful in many different cases, ensuring that treatment is available to everyone.

    Contact us today

    to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

    Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Rest assured that we talk to each and every one of our patients to understand their medical history to decide if sedation dentistry is the right option for you.
    Sedation will make you feel drowsy and relaxed pretty quickly. Some people report feeling a mild tingly sensation. You may also experience mild amnesia afterwards and may not remember anything from the procedure.
    Most sedation dentistry options don’t actually involve patients being put to sleep. Rather sedation dentistry allows patients to feel extremely relaxed. You may not even remember any of the procedure once it’s over.
    When sedation is involved we always stress the importance of having a friend or family member drive you home and keep you company. It’s important to let the sedation wear off completely and give your body a rest before returning to your regular routine.
    If you’ve been sedated for your dental procedure we would advise you to take the day off to recover. A good rule of thumb is to set aside 24-hours before returning to your regular routine. The time it takes for any drowsiness to pass will depend on what kind of sedation you receive but may be somewhere between 2 to 8 hours.

    The service from everyone was excellent! The hygienist cleaned my teeth really well and also gave me some great tips on how to keep my mouth healthy. The dentist did a thorough check-up and explained everything clearly. The place was spotless—the tools and equipment were spotless and sanitized. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it!

    Dr. Yasika is the kindest and most gentle dentist I’ve had in a long time! I appreciate the time and care she puts into every visit and I’m glad she’s my dentist. I would refer her to anyone looking for a dentist in Pickering/Durham Region.

    Throughout the years that I've been a patient at Splash Dental, the level of care that the dentists provide has been exceptional. The dental hygienists have all been kind, informative, and thorough. The receptionists are helpful when navigating insurance and coverage issues. I have recommended Splash Dental to several family friends who had bad experiences in the GTA and one of them said that they would never trust another dentist again after the care that Dr. Andrea provided. It is so nice having dentists you can trust. Splash Dental has been wonderful for me and my family!

    I have a huge fear of the dentist, and Splash Dental completely changed that for me. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable, welcome, and genuinely cared for. They explained everything clearly and thoroughly, without any judgement, which helped ease so much of my anxiety. I also brought my toddler in for his very first visit, and they were absolutely amazing with him. They were patient, gentle, and made the whole experience fun for him. I’m so grateful to have found a dental office that takes such great care of both me and my child. Highly recommend Splash Dental!
