Sedation Dentistry

If you feel anxious or fearful about going to the dentist, you are not alone. A large number of children and adults suffer from some degree of dental anxiety. Unfortunately, this is what keeps many patients from getting the dental treatments their smile needs to stay healthy and beautiful. At Town Center Dental of LaGrange, we have equipped ourselves to handle patients with dental fear or anxiety. Our menu of options in sedation dentistry allows patients of all ages to enjoy a relaxing, stress-free visit to the dentist. Dr. Paes is gentle, compassionate and qualified to offer both oral conscious sedation as well as IV sedation, depending on your needs.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation offers a mild to moderate level of sedation that is between nitrous oxide inhalation and deeper IV sedation. This type of sedation method involves taking a prescribed pill before you come to the dental office. Dr. Paes can prescribe a low dosage oral sedative that allows you to remain awake and able to communicate with us, yet also very relaxed and worry-free. You must bring a friend or family member with you to your appointment when participating in oral conscious sedation so that they can drive you home after your procedure.

IV Sedation

It can be difficult to find a dentist who is qualified to administer IV sedation. Dr. Paes offers IV sedation to patients who are severely anxious, those with special needs and to those that are undergoing a lengthy or complex dental procedure. IV sedation can always be titrated and controlled throughout your procedure. It is a safe and highly effective form of sedation that we are proud to offer at Town Center Dental of LaGrange.

Needing sedation dentistry is nothing to be ashamed of. At Town Center Dental of LaGrange, we want to know your specific concerns and areas of uneasiness about receiving dental care. Whether you suffer from a severe gag reflex or had a bad dental visit as a child, we will do our best to eliminate your anxiety and give you the comfortable and rewarding experience you deserve. Our modern patient amenities and cutting-edge technology also support our mission to put your comfort first.

To determine which level of sedation dentistry is best for you, contact Town Center Dental of LaGrange today.

This place is awesome! My son got this super nice hygienist named Mary Ellen and he said that he was going to give this place a good review too because of her! 5 stars, my son is no longer afraid of the dentists office after he switched dentists. I have always had dental anxiety but they're so nice & gentle that I will definitely come back again!

When I say I’m scared of the dentist I’m scared. I recently had my wisdom teeth removed with iv sedation 4 days ago. The surgeon and his assistant were amazing. They made me feel very comfortable. After the surgery of course I needed some down time that day and the next morning I was a little sore. With the medicine prescribed to me I only feel some soreness but I was able to take care of my 4 kids with no problem. I recommend Town Center Dental 100%.

Town Central of Lagrange is a Wonderful facility. I just had my first painless root canal done. Everyone there is kind and the place is immaculate. Would definitely recommend anyone.

Lisa T.

I had been putting off a dental implant for over a year - finally decided to go have it done. Absolutely NO pain whatsoever! Not sure how it’s possible - but Dr. Pais has a kind demeanor and managed the whole process without pain, including the next day. I felt nothing! Don’t put it off - I’d highly recommend Dr. Pais for the procedure!

Irish C.

I was so scared to get a tooth extraction and implants but everyone was so calming and reassuring during the entire procedure. The doctor told me about each step as he went; the nurse was so kind and gentle. It barely hurt at all! They did a fantastic job.
