Sedation Dentistry
in Fresno, California

If it's been a while since your last dental visit, Dr. Christopher Wong and Dr. Bettina Tong can correct any resulting damage or decay, usually in just one or two visits.

Whether you need a cavity filled, a root canal, dentures fitted - or even cosmetic procedures to whiten your teeth or fix a chipped tooth - you may be able to float through it all without the stress or fear you've experienced before.

At CedarNorth, We Offer Many Options For Sedation Dentistry:

• Local Anesthesia
  Local anesthesia is the most commonly used type of anesthetic used to prevent pain in a specific area of your mouth during your CedarNorth Dental treatment. Your mouth will be numbed with a topical anesthetic then an injection will apply medicine that blocks the nerves that sense or transmit pain, which results in the numbing of mouth tissues.
• Oral Sedation
  Oral sedation is often a great option for patients with mild to moderate levels of dental anxiety. We administer a pill that will help you feel calm and relaxed before and during your procedure. You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure.
• Laughing Gas
  Laughing gas is a colorless, odorless gas that simply calms patients. Patients inhale the laughing gas mixed with oxygen to quickly get into a relaxed state.
