Customize Your Dental Experience
Everyone has different preferences when it comes to dental care. Some patients like to listen to music, while others appreciate a blanket or simply want to know exactly what to expect before treatment begins.
Our in-house comfort menu at Westminster Dental Care includes:
- Blankets
- Headphones
- Sunglasses to help shield your eyes from bright treatment lights
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation
- Comfort and distraction options
- Anesthetic reversal when appropriate
We also record your preferences so our team can remember what helps you feel most comfortable at future appointments.
Nitrous Oxide for a More Relaxed Visit
For appropriate patients, nitrous oxide can be used to help promote relaxation during dental treatment. Sometimes called “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. It can help you feel calmer and more at ease while allowing you to remain conscious and responsive throughout treatment. The effects also wear off relatively quickly after the gas is stopped.
We’ll discuss whether nitrous oxide is appropriate for you or your child based on your health and treatment needs.
Anesthetic Reversal
When appropriate, anesthetic reversal can help shorten the amount of time you experience numbness following certain dental procedures. This can be particularly convenient when you need to return to work, school, errands, or other activities after your appointment. Our team can determine whether anesthetic reversal is appropriate for your treatment.
Injection-Less Anesthesia for Sensitive Gums
For certain procedures, including some deep cleanings and treatment involving sensitive gums, we offer an injection-less anesthesia option. This approach can provide localized comfort without requiring a traditional anesthetic injection, making it an option worth discussing for patients who have sensitive gums or feel anxious about dental injections.
A More Thoughtful Dental Experience
Combined with modern technology, efficient appointments, and our comprehensive approach to dental care, these small details can make a meaningful difference.
Comfortable Dentistry for the Whole Family
Our comfort-focused approach is available for adults and children. We understand that younger patients may need extra encouragement and distraction, while adults may have their own concerns or preferences. Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning, restorative treatment, an emergency visit, or a more involved procedure, we’ll do our best to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
