Advanced Sedation Dentistry

Advanced Sedation Dentistry is a prominent dental clinic with locations in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, Virginia, dedicated to providing a relaxed and anxiety-free dental experience. Established in 2009, the practice prides itself on offering "gentle, pain-free, worry-free, and fear-free" dentistry for adults, families, and children. The core of their service lies in their comprehensive sedation options, which include: Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild form of sedation for reducing anxiety while remaining awake and aware. Oral Conscious Sedation: A pill taken before the appointment to induce a deeper state of relaxation, often leading to minimal memory of the procedure. Intravenous (IV) Sedation: Delivered directly into the bloodstream for a deep state of relaxation, often used for longer or more complex procedures, with patients having little to no memory of the treatment. General Anesthesia: The strongest form of sedation, typically used for complex surgeries or severe anxiety, where the patient is completely unconscious. They often have board-certified dental anesthesiologists on staff or available to administer deeper levels of sedation. Beyond sedation, Advanced Sedation Dentistry offers a wide range of general and specialized dental services, including but not limited to: Routine check-ups and cleanings Restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, bridges) Cosmetic dentistry (veneers, teeth whitening) dental implants Root canals Extractions and oral surgery Pediatric dentistry The clinic emphasizes a patient-centered approach, utilizing modern technology like CEREC® same-day crowns and digital imaging for precise and efficient care.
