For many people, visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s due to a fear of dental procedures, a sensitive gag reflex, or the need for extensive treatment, dental anxiety can prevent patients from receiving the care they need. At Smile Glen Ellyn, we’re here to help you overcome those worries with sedation dentistry. Our gentle, effective sedation options allow you to relax and feel comfortable while receiving high-quality dental care in Glen Ellyn, IL.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses safe, proven methods to help patients feel calm and at ease during dental treatments. It’s an excellent option for individuals who:
- Experience dental anxiety or phobia
- Have difficulty sitting still for long periods
- Need multiple procedures in a single visit
- Have a low pain threshold or heightened sensitivity
We offer several levels of sedation tailored to your needs, ensuring your dental experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Types of Sedation We Offer
At Smile Glen Ellyn, we provide a range of sedation options to suit different levels of anxiety and treatment complexity:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Ideal for mild anxiety, nitrous oxide helps you feel relaxed while remaining awake and alert.
- Oral Sedation: A simple pill taken before your appointment helps you feel deeply calm and may cause you to feel drowsy during the procedure.
- IV Sedation: For those with severe anxiety or undergoing extensive procedures, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation while still maintaining safety and responsiveness.
Dr. Jessica Gibbs and our experienced team will discuss your preferences and medical history to determine the best sedation method for you.
Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?
