Are you experiencing pain from impacted wisdom teeth, need a damaged tooth extracted, or considering dental implants? Oral surgery procedures require specialized expertise to ensure optimal outcomes and comfortable recovery. At Park Smiles in Edison, our skilled oral surgeons combine advanced techniques with compassionate care to address a wide range of surgical needs in a comfortable, state-of-the-art environment.
Sedation dentistry uses specialized medications to help patients relax during dental procedures, creating a stress-free, comfortable experience. Unlike general anesthesia where you’re completely unconscious, dental sedation allows you to remain awake but in a deeply relaxed state where you experience little to no anxiety. Many patients report feeling as though their appointment lasted just minutes, even when the actual procedure took much longer.
At Park Smiles Edison, we offer various levels of sedation tailored to your anxiety level and the complexity of your treatment. From mild relaxation that takes the edge off to deeper sedation where you may doze lightly and remember little of the procedure, we customize your experience to ensure complete comfort. Our trained sedation team monitors you throughout your appointment, adjusting sedation levels as needed to maintain your comfort and safety.
Modern sedation dentistry has evolved significantly, with safer medications, improved monitoring techniques, and more personalized approaches. Our Edison dental team stays at the forefront of these advancements, providing state-of-the-art sedation options that allow even patients with severe dental phobia to receive necessary care comfortably. With sedation dentistry, you can finally address dental issues you’ve been postponing due to anxiety and achieve optimal oral health without stress.

The primary benefit of sedation dentistry is the complete elimination of anxiety and fear during dental visits. For patients with dental phobia, even a routine cleaning can trigger intense stress responses including rapid heartbeat, sweating, and even panic attacks. Sedation creates a calm, relaxed state where these anxiety responses simply don’t occur. The medications used affect the central nervous system, suppressing the fear response and creating a sense of wellbeing. Many patients who have avoided dental care for years due to anxiety report that sedation dentistry has been life-changing, allowing them to finally address long-neglected oral health issues.
With sedation, patients who normally struggle to sit through even brief dental procedures can comfortably undergo longer, more complex treatments. This means multiple procedures that might otherwise require several appointments can often be completed in a single visit. For patients with extensive dental needs who have been avoiding care due to anxiety, sedation allows for more efficient treatment planning and faster restoration of oral health. The ability to complete more dentistry in fewer appointments is not only convenient but can also be more cost-effective in the long run.
Many people avoid dental care not only due to anxiety but because of a hypersensitive gag reflex that makes even routine procedures uncomfortable. Sedation significantly reduces or eliminates this reflex response, allowing for more comfortable treatment, especially for procedures involving the back of the mouth. This benefit is particularly valuable for patients needing extensive work in the posterior regions or those requiring impressions for crowns, bridges, or other restorations. With sedation, these procedures become much more tolerable, reducing stress for both patient and dentist.
Perhaps one of the most valuable long-term benefits of sedation dentistry is its ability to help create new, positive associations with dental care. Many dental phobias stem from negative past experiences, but sedation allows patients to build a history of comfortable, stress-free appointments. Over time, this can actually reduce the level of anxiety experienced before and during dental visits, with some patients eventually requiring less sedation or even transitioning to traditional dentistry without sedation. This psychological benefit extends beyond the immediate procedure, potentially improving oral health for life by making regular dental care less intimidating.
At Park Smiles Edison, our sedation dentistry services are provided by specially trained dentists including Dr. Krystle Kendall and Dr. Aryeh Mahana, who have completed advanced education in sedation techniques and patient monitoring. This specialized training ensures they can safely administer various levels of sedation while closely monitoring your vital signs and comfort throughout treatment.
Our sedation team understands that dental anxiety is a real and significant concern for many patients. They take the time to listen to your specific fears, previous experiences, and preferences before recommending the most appropriate sedation approach for your situation. This compassionate, judgment-free environment helps many patients feel more at ease even before sedation begins.
What truly sets our sedation specialists apart is their commitment to creating positive dental experiences that can actually help reduce anxiety over time. Many patients who begin with deeper sedation gradually transition to lighter forms as they build confidence and positive associations with dental care. Our “one patient at a time” philosophy ensures you’ll receive our undivided attention throughout your sedation appointment, with careful monitoring and personalized care from start to finish.
At Park Smiles Edison, we recognize that dental anxiety varies greatly from person to person, which is why we offer multiple sedation options that can be tailored to your specific needs. From mild nitrous oxide sedation for patients with mild anxiety to deeper IV sedation for those with severe dental phobia or complex treatment needs, we customize your sedation experience based on your anxiety level, medical history, and the procedure being performed. Our sedation specialists take the time to discuss your concerns and preferences, ensuring the approach we recommend provides optimal comfort while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Our unique scheduling philosophy of seeing one patient at a time is particularly beneficial for sedation dentistry patients. When you visit for a sedation appointment, you’ll never feel rushed or processed through an assembly line. Instead, you’ll receive our undivided attention from the moment you arrive until you’re ready to go home. This focused care allows for more thorough monitoring during sedation, more attentive care during treatment, and a more personalized recovery experience. For anxious patients, knowing they have our complete attention throughout their visit provides additional reassurance and comfort.
The physical environment plays a significant role in dental anxiety, which is why we’ve designed our Edison office to feel more like a relaxing spa than a clinical dental practice. From the moment you enter our warm, welcoming reception area to the comfortable amenities in our treatment rooms, every detail is carefully curated to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Soft lighting, soothing colors, comfortable seating, and thoughtful touches create an atmosphere that complements the calming effects of sedation. Many patients report feeling their anxiety begin to diminish simply by entering our office environment.
Our commitment to your comfort extends beyond your sedation appointment itself. We provide detailed pre-procedure instructions to ensure optimal sedation results and comprehensive aftercare guidance for a smooth recovery experience. For patients receiving deeper forms of sedation, we conduct thorough health assessments beforehand and arrange for appropriate transportation home afterward. Our team follows up after sedation appointments to check on your recovery and address any questions or concerns. This complete care approach ensures you feel supported and cared for throughout your entire sedation dentistry experience.
Sedation dentistry at Park Smiles Edison is extremely safe when administered by our properly trained professionals. Before recommending any sedation option, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history, current medications, and any health conditions to ensure the selected approach is appropriate for your specific situation. During sedation, we use advanced monitoring equipment to track vital signs including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels throughout your procedure. Our sedation team maintains current certification in advanced life support and emergency management, though serious complications are exceedingly rare with proper screening and monitoring. For patients with complex medical histories, we coordinate with your physician when necessary to ensure the safest possible care plan.
At Park Smiles Edison, we offer multiple sedation options to accommodate varying levels of anxiety and procedure complexity:
During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option is most appropriate for your specific needs and preferences.
Your experience during dental sedation depends on the type and level used, but most patients report feeling deeply relaxed, unconcerned about the sights, sounds, and sensations of dental treatment. With lighter sedation like nitrous oxide, you’ll remain fully conscious but feel a pleasant sense of calm and mild euphoria. Time seems to pass quickly, and many patients feel slightly lightheaded or experience a tingling sensation in their hands and feet.
With oral or IV sedation, you’ll enter a deeper state of relaxation where you may drift in and out of sleep but can still respond to simple instructions. Many patients have limited or no memory of the procedure afterward, though you weren’t actually unconscious. The common sensations include feeling heavy, warm, and completely at ease. Many patients describe the experience as similar to being in a dream-like state where you’re aware of your surroundings but disconnected from any anxiety or discomfort.
