At Pittsford Family Dental, we utilize the industry’s most effective oral sedation techniques to help our patients feel completely comfortable. Here’s a brief overview of the various sedation options we provide to our patients, and a few reasons why more families and individuals throughout Rochester and Monroe County continue to trust our compassion and expertise:

  • Nitrous oxide, a breathable analgesic/sedative for more serious procedures
  • Oral sedation, can be delivered in either pill form or liquid for rapid absorption
  • IV Conscious Sedation, administered by specially-trained, licensed professionals
  • Regional anesthesia, or a dental blocker shot to numb the mouth’s alveolar nerve
  • We work closely with each patient to determine the safest, most effective sedation
  • Dr. Vella and his expert staff are highly-experienced in all forms of oral sedation

If there’s one thing that prevents people from receiving the dental treatments they need, the fear of pain consistently ranks among the top concerns. Pittsford Family Dental goes to great lengths to put these fears to rest by providing sedation that’s safe, effective, and ideal for the specific type of procedure being performed.
