Dental anxiety keeps a lot of people from getting the care they need. Dr. Tapia offers a range of sedation options so treatment — from a routine filling to a more involved procedure — feels manageable, calm, and pain-free.
Depending on your comfort level and the procedure, we may recommend nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation, each offering a different depth of relaxation tailored to your health and preferences.
Before any sedation is used, we'll review your health history and talk through exactly what you'll experience, so there are no surprises on the day of treatment.
