Sedation Dentistry

For countless people, even the thought of visiting the dentist sends shivers down their spines. Not many other physicians have this stigma, and it’s not entirely undeserved. In the past, lack of proper tools and medications created negative experiences and associations that still haunt many Americans. Dr. Wagner understands that dental fear is very real and has worked very hard to create an atmosphere where you can relax and feel comfortable. We also understand that some patients need a little extra help relaxing, so we offer sedation dentistry (also called sleep dentistry).

Relaxation Dentistry – From the moment you walk into our Jacksonville, FL office, you’ll notice that we’re not your typical dental office. From the soothing music to the lightly scented aromatherapy candles, we’ve attempted to eliminate many of the features of a dental office that patients find undesirable (sights, sounds, smells). We use state-of-the-art technology, from the latest model handpieces (no whining) to soft-tissue lasers for faster, more comfortable treatments. Relaxation dentistry is all about providing an exceptional experience on all levels of care.

Sedation Dentistry – There’s nothing wrong with needing some additional help to overcome dental anxiety. We have fantastic medications and safe techniques that millions of people have trusted for their dental care. Dr. Wagner offers moderate sedation with an oral medication (oral sedation), as well as IV sedation (sleep dentistry) with a board-certified anesthesiologist. With oral sedation, you simply take a pill prior to your visit and then rest comfortably while your treatment is performed. With IV sedation, we can reduce or increase the amount of sedation you receive while you’re in the chair, so your level of comfort is optimized. Dr. Wagner will discuss your options with you and help you choose which method of sedation dentistry is appropriate in your situation.
