Sedation Dentistry
Comfortable Sedation Options at Pavilion Dentistry
At Pavilion Dentistry, we understand that each patient’s needs are unique. That’s why we offer three distinct types of sedation to cater to varying comfort levels and treatment requirements.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is a gentle sedative administered through a comfortable mask placed over the nose. This method induces a state of relaxation and euphoria, allowing you to feel at ease throughout your dental procedure. It is ideal for patients with mild to moderate anxiety or those undergoing minor dental treatments. One of its key advantages is its rapid onset and quick dissipation, enabling patients to safely drive home and return to their daily activities with no lingering drowsiness.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation
For patients requiring a deeper level of relaxation, we offer IV Sedation, administered directly into the bloodstream by our skilled professionals. This method induces a profound state of calm or sleep, making it ideal for longer or more complex procedures, such as oral surgery, or for patients with severe dental phobias. IV sedation allows patients to remain technically conscious but deeply relaxed, with little awareness of the procedure.
Deep Sedation Dentistry
Our Deep Sedation Dentistry option allows patients to undergo dental treatments in a near-sleep state, offering an even higher level of sedation than IV sedation. Unlike general anesthesia, deep sedation is not intended to render the patient fully unconscious. However, patients are typically unresponsive to verbal commands and may only react to painful stimuli. This method is ideal for those with extreme dental anxiety, or for lengthy and invasive treatments where complete detachment from the dental experience is preferred. Most patients have little to no memory of the procedure afterward.
All sedation options at Pavilion Dentistry in St. Catharines are administered under the close supervision of our highly trained dental team to ensure your safety and comfort throughout your visit. Whether you’re seeking a gentle calming aid or complete dissociation from dental procedures, we offer a personalized sedation plan to suit your needs.

Learn About New Teeth In One Day
Are you a candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. With implants, you can rediscover the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life. Implants are expected to last for a lifetime, don’t decay and won’t affect your surrounding teeth.
Take a FREE 60-Second Assessment To See If You Qualify for Dental Implants.
Complete the following questions to see if you are a good candidate for dental implants.
Permanent Teeth. Natural Results. Life-Changing Confidence.
Your Tooth Replacement Options
A single implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium post and custom crown. It looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth while preserving surrounding bone and avoiding changes to healthy adjacent teeth.
Multiple Teeth Replacement
Missing several teeth? Implant-supported bridges restore multiple teeth using strategically placed implants, giving you a fixed, permanent solution without replacing every tooth individually.
All-on-X in St. Catharines: Full Arch Restoration
All-on-X uses as few as four strategically placed implants to support a complete arch of permanent teeth. It is the ideal solution for patients with most or all teeth missing, or those with multiple failing teeth.
Key benefits include:
- Teeth placed the same day as surgery in many cases
- Prevents bone loss and facial changes
- No adhesives, slipping, or clicking
- Full chewing function restored
- Easy maintenance with regular brushing and cleanings
The All-on-X Treatment Process in St. Catharines
Consultation and 3D Imaging: Advanced cone beam CT imaging allows our specialist to assess your bone structure and build a precise, personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Implant Surgery: Implants are placed under IV sedation or general anaesthesia for your complete comfort. Temporary teeth are often attached the same day as surgery.
Healing Phase: Over three to six months, your implants fuse naturally with the jawbone through osseointegration, creating a stable, permanent foundation.
Final Restoration: Your custom-crafted permanent teeth are attached, completing your All-on-X in St. Catharines smile transformation.
Sedation Options for Your Comfort
We offer two sedation levels to ensure a stress-free All-on-X experience:
IV Sedation: Produces a deeply relaxed state. You remain comfortable and largely unaware of the procedure throughout.
General Anaesthesia (GA): Full unconsciousness for patients with significant anxiety, complex cases, or extensive procedures. Administered and monitored by a qualified professional.
Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-X in St. Catharines
Am I a candidate for All-on-X in St. Catharines?
Most adults with missing or failing teeth are potential candidates. Bone density, general health, and lifestyle factors are all assessed during your consultation. Conditions like diabetes require careful evaluation but do not automatically disqualify you.
Is the All-on-X procedure painful?
Surgery is performed under sedation or GA, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is normal and manageable with medication. Most patients find recovery more comfortable than expected.
How long does All-on-X treatment take?
The full process typically takes three to nine months from consultation to final restoration. Many patients receive temporary teeth on surgery day so you are never without a functional smile.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
The number of implants depends on your bone density and clinical needs. Our St. Catharines implant specialist recommends the most appropriate option during your personal consultation.
Do I need bone grafting before All-on-X
How long do All-on-X implants last?
With proper care, implant posts are designed to be permanent. The prosthetic teeth may need adjustment over time depending on wear and individual factors.
