Your comfort is our top priority. Our sedation dentistry services are designed to help you feel calm, safe, and empowered to take control of your oral health without fear.
If fear has kept you from the dentist for years, you are not alone. Our supportive team uses safe sedation methods to melt away anxiety, allowing you to receive the care you need without the stress you expect.
Sedation allows us to perform multiple procedures in a single, comfortable visit. It’s an efficient way to reverse years of wear or neglect, helping you achieve a healthy smile faster and more comfortably than ever before.
We believe dental care should be gentle. Sedation dulls your sensitivity and relaxes your body, ensuring that your treatment at New London Dental Care is a positive and pain-free experience from start to finish.
Sedation may be helpful if you:

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you relax during dental procedures. It is an excellent option for patients with high anxiety, a low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, or a strong gag reflex. During your consultation at New London Dental Care, we will discuss your health history to determine if it is the best choice for you.
We offer various levels of sedation to suit your needs, ranging from mild inhalation sedation (laughing gas) to oral conscious sedation and IV sedation. Our goal is to match the level of sedation to the complexity of your procedure and your personal comfort level.
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by experienced professionals. Our team is trained to monitor your vital signs throughout the entire appointment to ensure your safety and well-being. We prioritize your health and will review your medical history thoroughly before proceeding.
Most patients feel no discomfort during their sedation appointment. While you may remain awake depending on the sedation level, the medication induces a state of deep relaxation that typically prevents you from feeling pain or anxiety. Local anesthetic is also used to numb the treatment area.
Recovery time depends on the type of sedation used. For nitrous oxide, the effects wear off almost immediately. For oral or IV sedation, you may feel groggy for a few hours after your appointment. We recommend having a trusted friend or family member drive you home from our office in New London.
Coverage for sedation dentistry varies by provider and plan. While some insurance companies may cover it for specific procedures, others may consider it an optional service. We encourage you to contact us at New London Dental Care so we can help you understand your benefits and financing options.
