Sedation dentistry at Small Dental transforms the way you experience dental care, making every visit stress-free and comfortable. We understand that dental anxiety can prevent many individuals from seeking necessary treatment, which is why we offer tailored sedation options to meet your unique needs.
The expert-led sedation program, under the care of board-certified anesthesiologist Dr. Glenn Atlas, ensures your safety and relaxation throughout the procedure. From mild sedation for routine treatments to deeper sedation for more complex procedures, we provide a customized approach to help you feel at ease.
With sedation dentistry, you can overcome fear, sensitivity to dental tools, or discomfort from extended procedures. It’s an ideal solution for patients with heightened anxiety, low pain thresholds, or even those needing extensive dental work completed in fewer visits.

FAQ’s About Sedation Dentistry at Small Dental
What is sedation dentistry, and who is it for?
Sedation dentistry uses medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s ideal for individuals with dental anxiety, low pain tolerance, a strong gag reflex, or those undergoing extensive dental treatments.
What types of sedation are offered at Small Dental?
We offer “conscious sedation” or “twilight sleep,” where patients remain awake but deeply relaxed. This approach ensures minimal to no recollection of the procedure, enhancing comfort and reducing anxiety.

Sedation is administered by Dr. Glenn Atlas, a board-certified anesthesiologist with over 12 years of experience. Dr. Atlas works closely with our dental team to ensure safe and effective sedation tailored to each patient’s needs.
