Sleep Dentistry
Relaxed, pain-free dental visits with sedation options.
Dental anxiety is very common and can make even simple treatments feel overwhelming. At Signature Dental, we offer Sleep Dentistry (Sedation Dentistry) to help patients feel calm, safe, and comfortable during their dental procedures.
Sleep Dentistry uses safe sedation methods to help you relax throughout your treatment. Depending on your needs, this may involve inhalation sedation (nitrous oxide), oral sedation, or IV sedation. Many patients feel so relaxed that they may not remember much of the procedure, making it ideal for those with dental fear or phobia.
