With our advanced sedation dentistry techniques, we strive to ensure that every patient receives the care they need in a relaxed and stress-free environment. Let us walk you through the various benefits and types of sedation dentistry we offer, designed to make your dental experience as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

Advantages of Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry has revolutionized the way patients perceive dental treatments, making it a viable option for those with dental phobia or anxiety. One of the primary advantages is the reduction of fear and anxiety associated with dental procedures. Sedation dentistry enables patients to undergo complex treatments or multiple procedures in a single visit by inducing relaxation minimizing discomfort and stress. Additionally, sedation dentistry can help patients with a sensitive gag reflex or those with a low pain threshold to receive necessary dental care without distress. At Lifeway Family Dental, we believe everyone deserves a healthy and beautiful smile, and sedation dentistry plays a vital role in ensuring our patients achieve this goal without unnecessary anxiety.

Types of Dental Sedation

At Lifeway Family Dental, we offer various types of sedation to cater to the diverse needs of our patients. Our experienced team carefully administers each method to ensure your safety and comfort throughout treatment.

  • Oral Sedation

    Oral sedation involves the administration of prescribed medication before the scheduled dental procedure. This form of sedation induces a deeper state of relaxation, making it an ideal option for patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety.


    Despite being semi-conscious, patients can still respond to the dentist's instructions during the treatment. Our skilled team will provide comprehensive guidance regarding the dosage and timing of the medication, ensuring a smooth and anxiety-free dental experience for you.

  • IV Sedation

    Intravenous (IV) sedation is a more profound form of sedation administered directly into the bloodstream. This method allows for a deeper level of relaxation, making it suitable for complex or invasive dental procedures. Under the careful monitoring of our trained professionals, IV sedation ensures that you remain comfortable and at ease throughout the entirety of your treatment.


    Dr. Herr will assess your medical history and discuss the appropriate use of IV sedation based on your individual needs, ensuring a safe and stress-free dental experience.
