Sedation Dentistry

Feel relaxed and comfortable during your dental visit.

Nervous? You are not alone.
We understand dental anxiety.

Many people are living in pain or feeling self-conscious because they fear dental visits. Rest assured that it’s possible to have your dental treatment done without dental anxiety or pain. We strive to make your dental visit as anxiety-free as possible using sedation dentistry.

Comfort & Sedation Options

Comfort Menu

Every visit should feel as comfortable as possible. That’s why we offer a complimentary Comfort Menu designed to help you relax from the moment you settle into the chair. Just ask any team member.

Laughing Gas

Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, helps to relax your mind and body. Laughing gas comforts you into letting go of any fear, falling into a happy and floaty feeling. This is best for dental anxiety associated with smells and sounds of dentistry. This can be used in conjunction with the comfort menu.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is as easy as taking a pill, prescribed by our dentist, prior to your appointment. When you arrive for your treatment you will be relaxed and at ease. This option can also be paired with the comfort menu and works best for those with mild dental anxiety.

IV Sedation (For Dental Implants)

With IV sedation, you will be conscious during your treatment, but many patients feel so relaxed that they fall asleep. Our dentist can easily and safely adjust the amount of sedative you receive to ensure that you remain comfortable. This option is excellent for those with moderate dental anxiety.

I am extremely happy with my new smile! Dr. Tambor did an amazing job with my implants and crowns. He is hands down the best, and I am forever grateful to him and his entire team for giving me my smile back. I was very nervous and embarrassed about my teeth before starting this process, but everyone was so kind, understanding, and compassionate. They made me feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Thank you, Dr. Tambor and your amazing team, for giving me back not only my smile, but also my confidence. I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me. I couldn’t be happier with the results! ❤️🦷✨

My first visit at POTOMAC DENTAL CENTER not only met but exceeded my expectations. My hygienist listened to my concerns and anxieties and after a thorough examination determined my plan of care and next steps. She answered all my questions and helped me prepare for upcoming visits. I’m grateful to have found PDC after my dentist (27 years with her) retired. Thank you to the entire team.
