Oral Sedation Dentistry
Your comfort is a big priority to our Irvine, CA dental team. Dr. Alexander Chang is highly skilled at delivering painless injections and making sure you receive the precise amount of anesthetic necessary to ensure completely comfortable treatment.
Dental procedures, even complex ones, should not be painful. After administering anesthetic, we allow time for it to take effect before starting any dental work. Dr. Chang will communicate with you throughout the process to ensure that your tooth is completely numb before beginning work.
If you have significant dental anxiety, it might be more difficult for you to become numb or stay numb during treatment. Stress chemicals such as adrenaline and cortisol can prevent anesthetic from working properly. By addressing your anxiety, we can help you enjoy the full effects of anesthesia and a painless dental experience.
At Formosa Dental Arts, we offer sedation dentistry to our patients who are fearful about their dental appointments. Sedation dentistry helps patients relax fully, reduces the gag reflex that sometimes plagues patients during treatment, and makes treatment feel like a breeze.

When you need a little more help to relax during your treatment, we offer oral sedation dentistry. Oral sedation dentistry uses prescription medication to relax you both physically and mentally during treatment. It will last throughout your procedure and leave you with little to no memory of your treatment.
Oral sedation is a great option to calm nerves and also helps the local anesthetic we use during treatment work more efficiently.
