Sedation dentistry
Not everyone feels at ease in a dental chair — and that’s okay. Some people get a little tense before an appointment. Others have a strong gag reflex, past experiences that make them hesitant, or simply prefer a calmer, more supported visit. Whatever the reason, you deserve care that meets you where you are.
At Altima Yonge Eglinton Dental Centre, we offer safe, gentle sedation options that make treatment feel more manageable. We take things step by step, explain what each option involves, and help you choose the level of support that feels right. The whole goal is simple: make your visit smoother and far less stressful.
Your sedation options
Nitrous oxide: A small nose mask delivers a gentle, calming effect within minutes. You stay awake, able to talk, and fully aware, just more at ease. The effect wears off quickly afterward, making it a convenient choice for many appointments.
Oral sedation: Taken as a pill before your visit, oral sedation creates a deeper sense of calm. You remain conscious, but the appointment feels slower, softer, and easier to experience. It’s a supportive option for patients with stronger dental anxiety.
Feeling comfortable shouldn’t depend on your budget. We offer transparent pricing, direct billing, and flexible payment options to make sedation-supported visits more accessible.
