WHAT IS SLEEP DENTISTRY
At Midtown Dental, we make sure you’re always in good hands—relax, feel comfortable, and let us take care of the rest. Using different levels of sedation, we help reduce anxiety, discomfort, and fear during procedures. Whether you need a cleaning, restorative work, or more advanced treatment, sleep dentistry allows you to receive the care you need in comfort and peace of mind.
ORAL SEDATION
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help you feel calm and at ease. Patients remain awake but deeply relaxed, often with little memory of the procedure afterward. At Midtown Dental, oral sedation is a convenient option for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety or those undergoing longer treatments.
NITROUS OXIDE SEDATION
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a gentle form of sedation inhaled through a small mask. It helps relieve anxiety and creates a sense of relaxation while you remain fully conscious and responsive. Once treatment is complete, the effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities the same day. Midtown Dental offers nitrous oxide as a safe choice for both adults and children.
IV SEDATION
IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation for patients with significant dental anxiety or those undergoing complex procedures. Administered intravenously by Dr. Rastikerdar, our Periodontist, IV sedation works quickly and allows for continuous adjustment throughout treatment. Patients often have little to no memory of their procedure, making this an excellent option for those seeking the highest level of comfort during dental care.
WHO BENEFITS FROM SLEEP DENTISTRY
Sleep dentistry at Midtown Dental is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, strong gag reflexes, or those requiring multiple treatments in one visit. It also helps children or adults who have difficulty sitting still for longer procedures. By providing customized sedation options, we ensure that every
patient receives care in the most comfortable and stress free way possible.
