RELAXED, ANXIETY-FREE DENTAL CARE WITH ORAL SEDATION
For patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety, oral sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation—making dental care feel calm, manageable, and stress-free. Oral sedation uses a prescribed medication taken before your appointment to help you feel at ease long before treatment begins.
At Kingsview Dental, oral sedation is provided under the careful supervision of Dr. Kinjal Patel, ensuring your safety, comfort, and peace of mind throughout your visit. While you remain awake and able to respond, most patients feel deeply relaxed and far less aware of dental sounds, sensations, or time passing.
Oral sedation can help you feel:
Deeply relaxed and calm
Free from worry or fear
Less sensitive to sounds, pressure, or sensations
Able to complete longer or more complex appointments comfortably
Many patients report remembering little to none of the procedure—a tremendous relief for those who have avoided dental care due to fear or past experiences.
Because oral sedation requires planning and safety considerations, patients will need a ride to and from their appointment. Our team will provide clear instructions and support every step of the way.
If dental anxiety has been holding you back, you’re not alone—and help is available. Call Kingsview Dental today or book your oral sedation consultation online with Dr. Kinjal Patel to experience truly relaxed, anxiety-free dental care. We’re here to help you feel comfortable and confident again.

Highly recommended!!!Posted on Sebastian de GraafTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the course of the last 6 weeks I've been coming here to get my teeth fixed. They did a phenomenal job and actually took the time to help instead of suggesting to pull all my teeth like previous dentists. For the first time in what feels like a decade I'm not embarrassed to smile, and it's all thanks to this wonderful team. If you are looking for a dentist, I implore you to come here. They are caring, helpful, and do everything they can to make sure you are comfortable.Posted on Rob BiggsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

WHAT IS ORAL SEDATION?
Oral sedation involves taking a pill (usually a mild sedative or anti-anxiety medication) before your appointment. It creates a deeply relaxed, dream-like state while you remain:
- awake
- able to respond
- able to breathe independently
The calming effect makes dental treatment far more manageable and helps patients who struggle with fear, overthinking, or sensitivity.
WHO BENEFITS FROM ORAL SEDATION?
Moderate to Severe Dental Anxiety
Ideal for patients who feel very nervous before or during treatment.
Fear of Needles or Dental Tools
Sedation significantly reduces fear-related reactions.
Strong Gag Reflex
Relaxation makes impressions, X-rays, and treatment easier.
Difficulty Sitting Through Long Appointments
Oral sedation is perfect for crowns, root canals, or multiple procedures.
Patients Requiring Extensive Treatment
We can complete more work in fewer visits.
Past Negative Dental Experiences
Oral sedation helps patients rebuild trust and confidence.
BENEFITS OF ORAL SEDATION DENTISTRY
- Deeper relaxation than nitrous oxide
- Reduces awareness of sounds, sensations, and time
- Excellent for adults with fear or anxiety
- Helps nervous patients follow through with needed treatment
- May prevent pain sensitivity associated with stress
- Enables longer appointments with less discomfort
Oral sedation is one of the best tools for creating a comfortable, successful dental experience.
