Oral sedation is also an option for people who may be too anxious to wear a mask over their face during their dental visit. The pill will take about 10 to 15 minutes to go into effect, so if you’re a returning patient, then you may get the pill when you check-in for your appointment. By the time of your appointment, you will feel calm, and our dentist can get right to work.

Our dentist in Vancouver, BC, will ensure that you’re relaxed and comfortable so that you have a positive dental experience.
