Sedation Dentistry at Upper West Side Dental
At Upper West Side Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for many patients. Dental anxiety is common, and it often prevents individuals from seeking the care they need. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide sedation—a safe and effective way to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout your appointment.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry provides a pain-free and anxiety-free dental experience, allowing patients to undergo treatments with ease. At our Manhattan dental office, we specialize in nitrous oxide sedation—a mild sedative inhaled through a mask that helps you stay calm and comfortable while remaining fully awake.
Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients who experience anxiety, have a low pain tolerance, or require multiple procedures in a single visit.
With our sedation options, you can receive the dental care you need in a relaxed and supportive environment.
