What you need to know about sedation dentistry for a comfortable experience at the dentist
At Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry of Pierrefonds, Quebec, our team can assist with a wide range of dental services. However, patients scared of the dentist’s chair may want to learn more about sedation dentistry, which is readily available at our office. If you are seeking a relaxing experience at the dentist “near me,” Drs. Ramin Mirmooji and Samer Abboud can assist. Below are some commonly asked questions about our sedation services.
What is sedation dentistry, and how does it work?
Sedation dentistry is a way of giving your nerves a break during simple or complex dental procedures. It involves using nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” to help you feel calm and relaxed in the dentist’s chair. Depending on the level of sedation, you might even feel slightly drowsy or even snooze your way through the appointment, making it your most relaxing time ever in the dentist’s chair!
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Absolutely! Sedation dentistry is highly safe when performed by the trained professionals at Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry. Drs. Ramin Mirmooji and Samer Abboud carefully review your medical history and monitor you the entire time you are under the sedative. You can safely relax in the dentist’s chair and get necessary dental work done quickly and calmly.
Who can benefit from sedation dentistry?
Any of our patients who feel nervous or anxious about dental visits or need a complex procedure done can benefit from integrating nitrous oxide into their next visit for a comfortable experience at the dentist. Nitrous oxide is also great for individuals with sensitive teeth or those who struggle to sit still for long periods. If dental visits stress you out, then sedation dentistry might be your solution!

Will I be completely asleep during the procedure?
No. Sedation dentistry comes in a few different levels. With mild to moderate sedation(nitrous gas), you’re awake but totally chill. Nitrous oxide can be adjusted throughout the visit to ensure your comfort. Our team can recommend the level of sedation needed based on your level of anxiety.
How long does it take to recover from sedation?
The recovery times depend greatly on the type of sedation used. Our office utilizes nitrous oxide, which wears away with the administration of oxygen for five minutes, to reverse its effects. This means you can leave the office and drive where you need to without having to arrange transportation.
Does dental sedation hurt?
Not at all! The whole point of sedation dentistry is to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Nitrous oxide is administered through a mask placed over the nose and is an odourless gas that acts quickly. There is no need for injections or medications prior to your appointment.
