Sedation Dentistry
Many options for your comfort
People often feel like their dental procedure lasts only a few minutes
Oral sedation dentistry is a common technique used to help ease patients’ fears. The technique is simple and requires no needles. The medications create such a comfortable experience that most patients do not remember the visit; it is as if they slept through the treatment. In reality, oral sedation dentistry maintains a level of consciousness in the patient for safety and cooperation.
Sedation dentistry can make you feel comfortable during procedure
One of the major benefits of sedation dentistry is that people often feel like their dental procedure lasts only a few minutes, when in fact it might have taken hours to perform. Therefore, complex dental procedures such as smile makeovers or extensive rebuilding procedures that normally require multiple visits can often be performed in fewer appointments.
If you are reluctant to change the appearance of your smile because you are afraid or anxious about undergoing long or complicated dental procedures, sedation dentistry can make you feel comfortable during the treatment process and help you achieve a smile you can be proud of.
Sedation dentistry is safe
Our team is trained on how to administer the sedative and how to monitor the effect on you during the procedure. That monitoring is constant and ensures you are not aware of any pain or discomfort. We are able to control the sedation process from start to finish and ensure you are in capable hands the entire time.
One of the questions patients ask us before undergoing any type of sleep dentistry in North York is what will happen after the dental work is completed. Our first step is to begin reversing the effects of the sedation. Our team will gently wake you with the use of fresh oxygen. Many patients feel as if they are waking up from a sound sleep. As the sedation begins to wear off, you will gradually become aware of your surroundings.
If you have never used sedation for a dental procedure before, our team will be happy to walk through the process with you and answer any questions that are on your mind. Our goal is to ensure every patient understands what is involved with their treatment, how they can prepare, and what to expect afterwards.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Laughing Gas is the lowest level of sedation offered; it is often very effective in individuals with mild dental anxiety
Oral Sedation
Oral Sedation also provides a mild twilight sensation and an amnesiac effect; most patients feel very relaxed and have little recollection of their procedure
IV Conscious Sedation
IV Sedation is a type of conscious sedation that gives a feeling of relaxation and also has an amnesiac effect; although they are not asleep and able to respond to questions and commands, most people have little to no memory of the appointment later on
General Anaesthesia
General Anaesthesia (GA) is the most profound level of sedation available in dentistry. This is the same type of sedation used in hospital procedures. The patient is unconscious and unresponsive until recovery after the procedure. Normally, this is the type of sedation used on children and also adults who do not respond well to conscious sedation (IV)

Dr. Ko is such an exceptional professional. He's very skillful and knowledgeable. I recently had a tooth implant done by him and I'd say by far this was a most comfortable procedure I ever had. No antibiotics and pain killers needed at all. Amazing!
Amazing office . All safety protocols in place and so much experience and care for their patients . Dr. Rob Eisen is the very best ! Thank you for taking such good care of me today.
I highly recommend anyone to come here for any dental needs. The level of professionalism is amazing ! The clinic is beautiful, clean and spacious. The team members are caring and polite. The only problem is that the experience was so good that my daughter wants to get more cavities to go back!
