Sedation Dentistry Can Make Dental Visits More Comfortable
For some patients, visiting the dentist can cause anxiety or discomfort. This may come from past experiences, a fear of dental procedures, or difficulty understanding the treatment process. At Wellington Dental Clinic, we offer a full range of sedation options to ensure your dental visit is as relaxed and stress-free as possible.
