Sdation Dentistry North York

Feeling fearful or anxious about visiting the dentist is not uncommon for many people. In fact, dental fear sometimes keeps patients from getting the dental care they need.

If you feel anxious in the dental chair, you should know that you’re not alone, and our dentists at Emery Village Dental understand how you feel. Dr. Joo’s extensive advanced training allows him to offer several sedation options to help reduce dental anxiety and allow you to get the dental care you need and deserve to have a healthy smile.

Because we provide different levels of dental sedation in our North York dental office, you can rest assured that you'll find what works best for you and you’ll never have to go anywhere else to receive the dentistry you need.

Nitrous oxide is the lowest level of dental sedation that many patients discover is enough to help them feel at ease in the dental chair. Nitrous oxide and oxygen combine to help you relax as you comfortably breathe the gases in through a mask worn during your procedure.

Even better, nitrous oxide leaves your body as soon as you remove the mask after your procedure. This means that you’ll be able to drive yourself and return to your normal activities after your dental appointment.

IV Sedation

Dr. Joo received his IV sedation certification from the University of Toronto, which means that he can oversee IV sedation in North York during dental procedures here at our dental office.

IV sedation delivers medication directly into your body intravenously and allows Dr. Joo to adjust it as needed throughout your procedure. Meanwhile, he’ll be monitoring your heart rate and vital signs during the procedure to ensure your safety.

IV sedation is the deepest level of sedation we offer that is ideal for patients with special needs, severe anxiety, or who may have extensive dental work they’d like to complete all at once during one visit.

You’ll need to arrange transportation to and from your procedure and plan on resting afterward.
