Sedation Dentistry
Sedation Dentistry in Fresno, CA
Comfortable, Anxiety-Free Dental Care
If dental visits make you anxious, you’re not alone. At Better Life Dentistry – The Home of Full Arch Masters, we offer three types of sedation dentistry to ensure a relaxed, pain-free experience during your procedure. Whether you need dental implants, oral surgery, or general dental care, our expert team makes treatment stress-free and comfortable from start to finish.
Types of Sedation We Offer
IV Sedation – The Deepest, Most Effective Option
IV sedation is the gold standard for relaxation and pain control during dental procedures. Dr. Dunlop is one of only a handful of dentists in California certified to administer IV sedation and has performed over 5,000 successful sedation cases with near 100% patient satisfaction. This method delivers sedatives, pain relievers, and anti-inflammatory medications directly into the bloodstream for a customized, deeply relaxing experience.
Pill Sedation – A Gentle Alternative
Pill sedation works similarly to IV sedation but is taken orally. At Better Life Dentistry, we combine pill sedation with IV sedation to ensure maximum relaxation. Patients take a sedation pill at home one hour before their appointment, making the experience smoother and stress-free from start to finish.
Gas Sedation (Nitrous Oxide)
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide sedation is a mild, fast-acting option that helps patients feel calm during their procedure. The effects wear off quickly, and in most cases, patients can drive themselves home after treatment.
