Oral Sedation in Burnaby
At Burnaby Gentle Dental, we understand that dental visits can feel stressful for some patients. That’s why we offer safe and effective oral sedation options to help you relax and feel completely at ease — before and during your treatment.
What It Is & How It Works
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your dental appointment to help you stay calm and anxiety-free while remaining awake.
It allows you to undergo even longer or more complex treatments comfortably, with little to no memory of the procedure afterward.
You’ll be monitored closely by our team throughout your visit to ensure complete safety and relaxation.
