If you feel anxious about dental treatment, there is no need to worry. At Elite Dental Group, we offer intravenous conscious sedation as well as general anesthesia to ensure your comfort, even during the most complex procedures.
About Sedation Dentistry
IV conscious sedation is a safe and highly effective option that places you in a deeply relaxed state while still allowing you to respond to instructions when needed. During treatment, time often feels as though it passes quickly, and many patients remember very little of the procedure afterward. This advanced form of sedation is offered only at licensed practices, and at Elite Dental Group, we are proud to provide this elevated level of care to ensure a calm, comfortable, and stress-free experience.
Sedation dentistry is not only for patients with dental anxiety. It is also an excellent option for individuals with a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, difficulty achieving full numbness, or those who prefer to complete multiple procedures in a single visit. At Elite Dental Group, sedation options are thoughtfully tailored to your individual needs, allowing you to receive high-quality dental care with maximum comfort and ease.

Oral Sedation
For patients seeking a lighter level of relaxation, oral sedation may be an ideal option. Taken as a pill before your appointment, this form of sedation helps you feel calm and at ease throughout your visit. You will remain awake and responsive, but feelings of anxiety or nervousness are significantly reduced.
Conscious Moderate Sedation
For patients who experience dental anxiety or require a more relaxed state during treatment, conscious moderate sedation is an effective option. This method helps you remain calm and comfortable while staying awake and responsive. It is often used for procedures such as fillings, root canals, or implant placements, allowing the dental team to work efficiently while minimizing stress and discomfort throughout your visit.
General Anesthesia
For the highest level of sedation, general anesthesia may be recommended. This option is typically reserved for extensive or complex procedures, such as multiple extractions or advanced oral surgeries. Under general anesthesia, you will be fully asleep and completely unaware of the procedure, allowing treatment to be performed efficiently and precisely.
