Your Smithers Invisalign® Provider
Patients
At Driftwood Dental in Smithers, Dr. Chambers offers dental sedation options to help make patients more comfortable during long procedures and to calm anxious patients.
Dental sedation* involves a variety of techniques that can help patients feel more comfortable during dental procedures. Our dentists can help you decide if oral sedation is right for you.
At Driftwood Dental, we do everything in our power to help patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their dental appointments. Along with offering oral sedation, we work at your pace, take breaks when you need them, and provide calm reassurance as required.
*Sedation (IV) is only performed by Dr. Chambers and is only used for extractions.
IV sedatives are administered directly into your bloodstream through the vein for the deepest level of sedation without general anesthesia.
Your dental team will attach you to a monitor so that the dentist can keep track of vital signs during the procedure.
