Experience Dentistry Free From Stress and Anxiety
At Bright Edge Dentistry, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent you from seeking the care you need. To ensure your dental visits are as comfortable and stress-free as possible, we offer various dental sedation options. Whether you’re undergoing a complex dental procedure or a routine dental treatment, our sedation dentistry services in Toronto are designed to lessen anxiety and provide calm reassurance.
Types of Sedation
Local Anesthetic
Local anesthesia is a reliable standard in dental care. We patiently numb the area and then carefully inject a local anesthetic to put a small area of your mouth to sleep. This method ensures you may feel pressure but will not experience pain during your dental procedures.
Sedation
For those who need more than local anesthesia, we offer several sedation options, including oral sedation, nitrous oxide laughing gas, and IV sedation. These methods allow you to remain awake but completely relaxed during your dental treatment.
- Oral Sedation: Taken in pill form, oral sedation helps calm anxious patients and makes the dental procedure more manageable.
- Nitrous Oxide: Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is inhaled to induce moderate sedation, keeping you conscious but deeply relaxed.
- IV Sedation: Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation provides a deeper level of sedation, making it ideal for patients with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing complex treatments.
Benefits of Dental Sedation
Dental sedation is a valuable tool that helps us serve a diverse range of patients with varying needs. Here are some of the benefits of sedation dentistry:
Overcoming Dental Anxiety
For many patients, dental anxiety can be more daunting than the treatment itself. Sedation in Toronto is particularly beneficial for those with severe dental anxiety or dental phobia, helping them receive necessary dental care without fear.
Making Time Fly By
Long dental procedures can be daunting, but sedation dentistry ensures you remain comfortable and relaxed. Your time in the dental chair will seem much shorter, and the procedure will be over before you know it.
Tailored for Your Personal Needs
Sedation dentistry is flexible and can be customized to your specific needs. Whether you have a sensitive gag reflex, chronic restlessness, or a high pain threshold, sedation options like oral or IV sedation can make your dental visits more pleasant and effective.
Sedation dentistry in Toronto at Bright Edge Dentistry ensures that dental anxiety and phobia do not stand between you and necessary dental care. Our various sedation options cater to different needs, making dental treatments accessible and comfortable for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, dental sedation is safe. Our dental team thoroughly reviews each patient’s medical history during the initial consultation to determine the most appropriate sedation option.
Sedation makes you feel drowsy and relaxed quickly. Some patients report a mild tingly sensation and may experience mild amnesia afterwards, not remembering the dental procedure.
Most dental sedation options, such as conscious sedation, allow you to remain awake but deeply relaxed. You will not be fully asleep, but you may not remember much of the procedure.
Yes, it is important to have a family member or friend drive you home after your dental appointment if sedation is used. The effects of sedation need time to wear off, and it’s crucial to rest before resuming your daily activities.
The duration for sedation to wear off depends on the type of sedation used. Generally, we advise patients to take the day off and allow 24 hours for recovery. The sedative effects can last between 2 to 8 hours.
