If going to the dentist makes your shoulders tense up before you even sit down, you’re not alone. A lot of people in Toronto delay treatment for that exact reason.
At SmileCrafters, we offer oral sedation in Toronto to help take the edge off and make dental care feel manageable again.
We don’t rush you into treatment. We take the time to explain what’s happening, what your options are, and how we can make the experience more comfortable.
You’re relaxed but fully alert and aware.
You may feel drowsy and detached, but you can still respond when needed.
You’re very relaxed, close to sleep, but not fully unconscious.
| Oral Sedation | IV Sedation |
|---|---|
|
Oral sedation is taken as a pill, while IV sedation works faster and is typically used for deeper sedation. |
|
| Oral Sedation | Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) |
|---|---|
|
Nitrous oxide wears off quickly after treatment. Oral sedation lasts longer and provides a deeper sense of calm. |
|
| Oral Sedation | General Anesthesia |
|---|---|
|
General anesthesia is used for full unconsciousness. Oral sedation keeps you awake but relaxed. |
