Many people of all walks of life often overlook their dental care. One major reason for this neglect is……FEAR and PHOBIA. While fear can keep us safe and from harm’s way, it can also evolve into PHOBIA keeping us from doing something that can be good for us (such as routine dental care). Many reasons one can have phobia include:

- Fear of Dental Work
- Gag Reflex
- Past traumatic experience
- Extensive procedures such as Surgery
- Lengthy treatment times
- Psychological Factors
- Need for Relaxation
- Previous traumatizing experience
Sedation are very effective adjuncts to help you get through your needed treatment.

Who is sedation dentistry for?
Sedation dentistry may help patients who experience dental fear, phobia, gag reflex, past traumatic experiences, psychological barriers, lengthy treatment times, surgery, or a need for deeper relaxation during dental care.
What levels of sedation may be available?
Solo Dental offers customizable sedation from very light relaxation to a moderate level that helps patients tolerate treatment or surgery. The appropriate level depends on consultation, examination, health, and the procedure being planned.
Is dental sedation safe?
Sedation can be safe when provided by properly trained clinicians in an appropriate setting after consultation and examination. Sedation at Solo Dental in Burnaby is performed in the clinic with trained staff and nurses, with patient safety as a priority.
Choosing the Right Level of Support
Sedation dentistry should be matched to the patient, the appointment, and the type of care being planned. Some patients need only enough support to feel more relaxed, while others may need a deeper level of sedation for surgical treatment or more complex care. The goal is to choose the least intensive option that still allows treatment to be completed safely and comfortably.
During your consultation, Dr. Deheshi will talk with you about what has made dental treatment difficult in the past, what procedure is being considered, and what level of support may be appropriate. This helps create a plan that is practical, personalized, and clear before your appointment begins.
Before Your Sedation Appointment
Because sedation requires preparation, patients will receive instructions before their visit. These instructions may include guidance about food and drink, medications, transportation, and what to expect after the appointment. Following these directions is an important part of keeping the experience organized and predictable.
If you have medical conditions, take medications, or have had previous reactions to sedation or anesthesia, those details should be reviewed before treatment is scheduled. This allows the Solo Dental team to plan appropriately and determine whether sedation is suitable for your situation.
Aftercare and Recovery Planning
After a sedation appointment, patients usually need time to rest and should follow the aftercare instructions provided by the clinic. Depending on the type of sedation used, you may need someone to accompany you home and remain available after the appointment.
Recovery planning is especially important when sedation is combined with treatment such as wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, extractions, or other surgical dental care. Knowing what to expect afterward can make the overall experience feel less uncertain.
Sedation as Part of a Larger Treatment Plan
For some patients, sedation makes it possible to complete care that has been postponed for months or even years. In those cases, Dr. Deheshi may recommend organizing treatment in stages, beginning with the most urgent concerns and then planning additional care over time.
This may involve preventive visits, restorative care, surgical treatment, or broader general dentistry. The purpose is to help patients return to care in a way that feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
