Sedation

Dental Sedation Treatment in Lahore

If dental anxiety keeps you from visiting the dentist, you’re not alone. We offer safe and effective sedation options to help you feel relaxed, calm, and comfortable during any dental procedure whether it’s a simple cleaning or a complex surgery.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients feel at ease during dental treatments. It’s ideal for people with dental fear, low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, or extensive treatment needs. You’ll remain conscious but deeply relaxed, and some patients may not remember the procedure at all.

We provide:

Oral Sedation – A pill taken before treatment to ease anxiety
Inhalation Sedation (Nitrous Oxide) – Also known as laughing gas, this helps you feel light and calm throughout the procedure
IV Sedation – For more advanced procedures, administered by a trained professional
