Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Pain Relief
Nobody likes pain, especially near their teeth or gums. Thankfully, with sedation dentistry, pain is completely removed. The brain is unable to experience pain while under the influence of potent sedatives and anesthetics.
Anxiety Relief
According to Stats Canada, 40% of Canadians have a strong fear of going to the dentist. However, avoiding the dentist can lead to worse dental issues in the future. Say goodbye to anxiety with sleep dentistry.
Better Results
Sleep dentistry also makes a dentist’s job easier! Sedation allows our dentists to perform otherwise difficult procedures in a calm environment. They don’t need to rush or worry about sudden movements from patients.

I am so so happy with my results of my implant done. From my very first appointment the customer service alone by the bond street dental receptionists, financial planner, and dentists exceeded my expectations. I had Dr. Salti from start to finish for my implant and he did his very best to make sure that I was comfortable by educating me, being patient, and always presenting all available options. I would 100% recommend this dentist to anyone that is looking for a dentist right downtown. I promise you will have an amazing experience!

Bond street Dental has such an amazing and friendly staff. The practice is beautiful and very clean. I feel very taken care of here and walk out happy every time. I would recommend going here 100%. Also big perk is that they’re open late and weekends! If you have insurance they also bill them directly which takes off any added stress.

Affordable Sleep Dentistry Toronto
We offer affordable sleep dentistry services for children and adults, eliminating all pain and discomfort. Patients who come to Bond Street Dental with a fear of the dentist will receive sedation to calm their nerves while we work on their beautiful new smiles.

Types of Sedation Dentistry
Depending on the dental procedure and your feedback from your FREE dental consultation, one of the following four sedation techniques may be administered to you:
General Anesthesia
Used for the most complex or invasive procedures, general anesthesia renders patients fully unconscious for the dental procedure’s entire duration.
IV Sedation Dentistry
For more complex procedures or patients with severe dental phobias, this sedation technique is administered intravenously and takes effect very quickly.
Conscious Sedation
Aka inhaled minimal sedation; this technique requires the patient to breathe in nitrous oxide / laughing gas. The dentist carefully controls the patient’s intake of the gas through a mask.
Oral Sedation Dentistry
The most common sedation technique used in dentistry, this is administered in the form of a pill one hour before the procedure.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Even though regular dentist visits are imperative to maintain good oral health, most people dread going to the dentist. People even relate going to the dentist with feelings of stress, anxiety and fear. Sedation dentistry is a common technique used by dentists to alleviate those dental fears making their visit tolerable and enjoyable.
Sedation dentistry is used in many dental procedures, especially in lengthy or complex treatments. One of several sedation techniques, along with a sedation level, is predetermined and carefully administered to the patient. These fast-acting sedative substances put patients into a deep relaxation allowing the dentist to efficiently perform the dental procedure.
Sleep dentistry allows nervous patients to relax during their dental procedure. You won’t feel a thing!
The dentist, periodontist or oral surgeon will be able to perform dentistry while you sleep quickly and safely.
You’re not alone if you dread going to the dentist.
How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?
Sedation dentistry essentially turns off some, or all, of your senses with the use of carefully administered sedative substances, allowing you to undergo complex and lengthy procedures in a fully relaxed state. This not only gives you peace of mind, but it also allows our dentists to complete their dental treatments less disturbed, in a shorter amount of time with higher efficacy.
During your FREE initial consultation, our dentist will decide on a sedation level and sedation technique that will satisfy your unique requirements. This decision is based on your overall health, dental anxiety levels and the dental procedure being performed.
Don’t miss an important dental appointment because you’re worried about discomfort; sleep through it and wake up with a new smile!
Levels of Sedation Dentistry
There are four levels of sedation that can be chosen based on the specific needs of each patient, including:
Minimal sedation – puts the patient in a relaxed state of mind
Moderate sedation – deeper relaxation will cause slurred speech
Deep sedation – most senses are essentially shut off, but the patient is still on the edge of consciousness
General anesthesia – patients are put in a completely unconscious state for the duration of the procedure
