If anxiety or fear has kept you from getting the dental care you need, you’re not alone. Millions of patients avoid the dentist due to fear of pain, discomfort, or even just the sound of the drill. At Better Image Dentistry in Bridgewater, NJ, we understand your concerns—and we offer a solution.
Our sedation dentistry options are designed to help you relax during your visit, whether you’re coming in for a simple cleaning or a more complex procedure. With gentle techniques and compassionate care, we make dentistry stress-free and accessible for every patient.
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s especially helpful for those with high dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or the need for extensive dental work in one visit.
We offer multiple types of sedation based on your comfort level and the procedure being performed.
Sedation Options We Offer:
A mild sedative inhaled through a mask that helps you stay calm. The effects wear off quickly after the procedure.
A prescription pill taken before your appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed while remaining conscious.
For more involved procedures or severe anxiety, IV sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation under close supervision by trained professionals.
