Sedation Dentistry, St. Louis, MO

Sedation dentistry at City Smiles is both safe and effective. Patients who are uncomfortable getting dental work done can utilize sedation dentistry to ease them through their procedures. We also use this method for long procedures such as smile makeovers or dental implants.

What Does Sedation Feel Like?

Sedatives help relax patients by slowing the action of their central nervous system. This state reduces the sense of discomfort, as well as the feeling of being treated, no matter what procedure is performed.

Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?

The sedatives used in sedation dentistry have been in use for many years and are subjected to rigorous clinical study. Dr. Hill and the staff at City Smiles are experienced at administering this procedure and have undergone extensive training in order to be qualified to practice sedation dentistry. We understand that many patients are still nervous about having their dental concerns taken care of and we want to allow them to feel as comfortable as possible. City Smiles offers a comfortable and friendly environment and we allow our patients to come in for consultations so that they can familiarize themselves with our team and ask all the questions they have regarding any potential dental treatments.

Dental Fears?

Odontophobia or fear of visiting the dentist is a common fear that Americans have. Nearly 30 percent of the population avoids the dentist due these fears. The bad news is that if dental issues are left to amplify and routine dental care is avoided, a beautiful smile can turn into a health issue. Sedation allows patients who live with these fears a safe, effective solution to their concerns and helps them move toward a healthier tomorrow.
