Sedation Dentistry in St. Charles

If heading to the dentist tends to make you nervous, we understand. Many people, regardless of their age, dislike going to the dentist. It can be especially challenging for people with special needs. During your visit, Smyles and Company Family Dentistry takes the time to make you feel more comfortable. We care about your relaxation and will not rush you through anything that makes you uncomfortable.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Dental sedation reduces anxiety during dental procedures or enables them to be merged into fewer appointments. It can be used for fillings, root canals, crowns, implants, wisdom tooth extraction, and other procedures. Some of the advantages are as follows:


  • Multiple procedures performed in a single visit
  • Nodding off during the treatment
  • Overcoming dental phobia
  • Improvements in surgical procedure comfort
  • Ideal for people with sensitive gag reflexes or special needs


Sedation dentistry is a highly effective and safe procedure. Dr. Villa has received the necessary training and qualifications in sedation dentistry to ensure your safety at all times.

Types of Sedation Dentistry

Nitrous Oxide

Also known as "laughing gas", nitrous oxide is a safe, quick, and easy way to reduce nervousness and sensitivity during even the most normal appointments. The gas mixture relaxes, warms, and tingles you as you sit back. It is easily reversible, so you can go back to work or drive yourself home after treatment.

Topical Numbing

To keep from getting the needle's pinch, we apply a small amount of topical numbing gel to your gums. In fact, many dentists routinely practice in this manner. Every dental office has flavored jellies with ingredients comparable to a drugstore oral numbing gel. A small amount of this jelly may be sufficient to prepare you for a quite comfortable injection.
