Sedation
Dentistry
Comfortable, anxiety-free dental care at our Ashburn, VA office. Whether you have mild nervousness or severe dental phobia, we offer sedation options to help you relax and receive the care you deserve.
What Is Sedation
Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It ranges from mild relaxation with nitrous oxide to deep twilight sedation via IV, allowing patients who would otherwise avoid the dentist to comfortably receive the care they need.
At Esthetique Dentistry in Ashburn, VA, our certified team offers all levels of sedation. We carefully assess your health history and anxiety level to recommend the safest, most effective option. You remain monitored throughout every procedure.
Sedation also allows us to complete multiple procedures in a single visit, ideal for patients who have deferred treatment or need extensive work done efficiently.
