Sedation

Dental Sedation Treatment in Lahore

Dental anxiety is a common issue, and if the thought of visiting a dentist makes you nervous or fearful, you’re not alone. At Aura Dentals, we offer safe and effective sedation dentistry in Lahore to help you feel relaxed and at ease during any dental procedure from routine cleanings to complex oral surgeries.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medications to help patients feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. It’s especially helpful for individuals who experience dental anxiety, have a low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or require extensive treatment. While under sedation, you remain conscious but deeply relaxed, and many patients report little to no memory of the procedure afterward, making it easier to receive necessary dental care without fear or stress.

Types of Sedation We Offer

We provide a range of sedation options depending on your comfort level and the complexity of the treatment:

Oral Sedation

A prescription pill taken before your appointment that helps reduce anxiety while keeping you awake and responsive.

Inhalation Sedation (Nitrous Oxide)

Commonly known as laughing gas, this fast-acting option promotes calmness and wears off quickly after treatment.

IV Sedation

Administered by trained professionals, IV sedation is used for more involved procedures, providing a deeper state of relaxation while you remain conscious.
