Sedation Dentistry Pacifica, CA

Dental phobia is not uncommon, but it can be debilitating for your smile if it keeps you from visiting the dentist.

At Cabrillo Family Dental Care, we understand how you feel, and we're here to help you get the dental treatment you need to have the healthy smile we believe that everyone deserves.

We offer three types of dental sedation in Pacifica for patients who struggle with fear or anxiety when visiting the dentist. We're happy to help you determine which type of sedation would be right for your needs when visiting our dental office.

Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is the lowest level of sedation we offer. The gas is delivered through a mask you wear during your procedure, and it works fast to help you relax.

Nitrous oxide is safe for both adults and children, and we can use it during most procedures. Best of all, it doesn't leave you with troublesome side effects.

Oral conscious sedation delivers a deeper level of sedation through medication you take an hour before your treatment. This type of sedation requires you to arrange transportation to and from your appointment.

IV sedation is the deepest level of sedation we offer, and it's almost like sleeping through your dental appointment. Dr. Jen Kin is licensed to provide IV sedation at our Pacifica dental office, and it is ideal for patients with dental phobia or severe anxiety.

Our office is located at 669 Crespi Dr. #F, Pacifica, 94044. Contact us at (650) 359-1646 if you have any questions about your appointment.

We ask that you arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment, especially if it is your first time at our dental office.

This will give you time to fill out the necessary paperwork beforehand.

What Is an Appointment At Your Office Like?

When you first arrive, our friendly and professional staff will greet you and get you started. You will fill out any necessary paperwork before the appointment begins.

If it has been a while since you have been to the dentist, your first appointment will be an exam, during which time the dentist will inspect the health of your jaw, gums, teeth, and throat to find issues, if there are any.

If you are coming to us for a specific treatment, the dentist or dental assistant will bring you in to prepare you for your appointment. The dentist and support staff will finish making the necessary preparations. This includes getting the required tools and equipment ready, preparing the patient by making them comfortable in the chair, and helping them relax.

During your appointment, your dentist will constantly ensure your comfort and ease. We always place patient care at the top of our priorities.

Afterward, you will have time to ask questions and communicate with your dentist about your oral health moving forward.
