Sedation dentistry
Dental appointments can feel challenging for different reasons — sensitivity, anxiety, past experiences, or difficulty staying still during longer treatments. Sedation dentistry helps create a calmer, more comfortable visit by easing tension and making the appointment feel more manageable from start to finish.
At Altima Scotia Plaza Dental Centre, we explain each option clearly, outline what to expect, and help you choose the level of support that feels right for your needs and the type of treatment planned.
Your sedation options
Nitrous oxide: A light, steady form of relaxation that helps ease tension while keeping you awake and able to communicate comfortably.
General anesthesia: A fully asleep option reserved for specific procedures where deeper sedation provides the safest, most predictable experience.
Sedation is always your choice. Our job is to guide you, monitor you closely, and make the experience feel calm, clear, and free from pressure.
