Sedation Dentistry

If you, or someone you know has been afraid of the dentist, there is new hope! Dental sedation can help you forget about needle shots, pulling teeth, the drilling, and other unpleasant dental stimuli. If you're afraid of a certain procedure or just everything about dentistry, but know that waiting is no longer an option, than dental sedation may be right for you!

At Modern Dentistry, we offer laughing gas for shots and extractions. For longer procedures, or when cosmetic work needs to be done, or when significant discomfort is anticipated, we offer oral and intravenous sedation. We are one of a small number of dentists who are licensed in Illinois to provide conscious sedation for our patients.

Oral sedation is wonderful for longer and restorative appointments. Intravenous sedation is the most predictable form of sedation, and is most useful for surgical procedures, such as extractions, implant surgery, gum surgery, and root canal therapy. Sedation dentistry is not for everybody, and your medical history may preclude you from receiving it. There is also a separate sedation fee associated with all forms of sedation that we offer. We are proud to be able to offer this rare service at a fraction of the cost charged by other anesthesia providers. If you're ready to smile again, please call us at (630)553-2505, or e-mail us and request a sedation consultation.
