Experience Dentistry Free from Stress and Anxiety

We offer sedation and anesthetic options to make sure you feel no pain or discomfort during your visit. Your dentist will walk you through the options and recommend the best approach based on your treatment plan, medical history, and personal preferences. In some cases, more than one type of sedation may be combined to give you full comfort and support.

Local Freezing

This is the most familiar and widely used method. We numb the area using a topical anesthetic, followed by an injection to fully block pain in that specific part of your mouth. You may feel pressure but you will not feel pain.

Sedation

With sedation, you remain fully awake but feel deeply relaxed. It is commonly paired with local freezing for a pain free and stress free experience.

The Benefits of Dental Sedation

Sedation and sleep dentistry provide useful options that help us serve patients from all walks of life. These treatments address many different challenges that some people may face. Some of the benefits of sedation dentistry include:

Overcoming Dental Anxiety

For some people, fear and worry can feel worse than the treatment itself. Dental anxiety should not prevent you from receiving the care you need. If you have mild or extreme anxiety or if fear is keeping you from seeking dental care, please let us know. We are here to help.

Make Time Fly By

For long procedures where you may need to sit with your mouth open for an extended period, sedation will keep you relaxed and comfortable.

Tailored for Your Personal Needs

Do you have a sensitive gag reflex, chronic restlessness, or restless leg syndrome? Does local freezing not work well for you? Sedation can be a great option in many cases, ensuring treatment is available for everyone.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rest assured that we take the time to understand your medical history and assess whether sedation dentistry is the right option for you.

Sedation will help you feel drowsy and relaxed quickly. Some people report feeling a mild tingly sensation. You may also experience mild amnesia afterward and may not remember the procedure at all.

Most sedation options do not involve being completely asleep. Instead, they make you feel extremely relaxed, and you may not even remember the procedure once it is over.

If sedation is used during your treatment, we always recommend having a friend or family member drive you home and stay with you while you recover. It is important to allow the sedation to wear off completely and to rest before returning to your regular routine.

After sedation, we suggest you take the rest of the day off to recover. A good rule of thumb is to give yourself 24 hours before returning to your normal routine. The time it takes for the sedation to wear off will depend on the type used, but it usually takes between 2 to 8 hours.

This dentist’s office is fantastic. The staff is incredibly friendly, efficient, and the assistant is the sweetest and most caring. They’ll take great care of you. The doctor is also fast-working and knowledgeable, and they get the job done quickly. They have TVs, so you can watch something to distract yourself, but you never get to finish your show because you’re always done before it ends. That’s why I come back.

I've had horrible teeth all my life. I've been seeing Dr. Teerlink for several years and my mouth is in great condition. He's an excellent dentist! I wouldn't go anywhere else. And the office staff is amazing. Kim and Jenna are wonderful and make you feel like family everytime you walk through the door. As everyone knows, major dental work is expensive and Dr. Teerlink has been wonderful wirh me making payments. I recommend Brush Dental to anyone who wants to have a healthy mouth.

I have been a patient of Dr Teerlink at Brush dental for years. I have always appreciated his honesty, integrity, and in his dental work and skill as a dentist. My experience during my last appointment at Brush dental was fantastic! The gals at the front desk, Kim, Janessa, and Cybil were so friendly and helpful! Their new Hygienist, Sam, did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. She was very thorough and at the same time very gentle - my cleaning was absolutely pain-free! Sam is very friendly and nice and I really enjoyed visiting with her and getting to know her.
