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.
