Helping You Feel Comfortable in Our Care
At Bridge of Don Dental, we know that visiting the dentist can sometimes feel daunting. Dental anxiety is very common and can make it difficult for some patients to keep up with regular check-ups and treatment that protect their oral health.
That’s why we take a gentle, understanding approach to every appointment. Our focus is on building trust and creating a safe, welcoming environment where you can feel at ease. With compassionate care and a friendly team, we’re here to help you feel more confident about looking after your smile.
Sedation isn’t just for those who feel nervous about visiting the dentist — it’s changing the way we deliver care for many of our patients. A relaxed patient is easier to treat, and more importantly, has a much more comfortable experience. Whether you feel anxious or simply want to make a longer procedure seem quicker, sedation dentistry could be the right choice for you.
With dental sedation, you won’t be fully asleep, but you will feel calm and deeply relaxed. You’ll still be able to respond to your dentist if needed, though many patients describe it as feeling like they could drift off during treatment.
Because the effects of sedation can take 6–24 hours to wear off fully, you’ll need a friend or family member to accompany you to your appointment and take you home afterwards. For safety reasons, you won’t be able to drive yourself.
At Bridge of Don Dental, we offer IV conscious sedation to help make your treatment as comfortable as possible. With this technique, the sedation medication is delivered through a small IV cannula directly into your vein. This allows the sedative to take effect quickly, and your dentist can carefully control the exact amount you need to stay relaxed throughout your appointment.
You will remain awake and responsive during the procedure, but in a deeply calm, twilight-like state — making your dental experience much easier and more stress-free.
Dental sedation is completely safe when carried out by our trained clinicians. Before treatment, we carry out a full medical assessment to ensure it’s right for you and explain exactly what to expect.
You’ll remain awake but deeply relaxed, often with little memory of the procedure afterwards. Throughout your treatment, we closely monitor your oxygen levels, heart rate, and blood pressure to keep you safe and comfortable at all times.
