They're very understanding with the fact that I have anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. They're very patient, they always ask to make sure I'm fine and if this hurts to much or whatever, so they're very attentive to my needs and making sure I'm as comfortable…Sheila F.

Sedation Dentistry Options
Manassas Smiles offers sedation dentistry options for patients with dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry can be used to help patients manage their fear so they can receive dental care. A patients medical history, current health, and oral health care needs will be considered when choosing the right sedation method. Dr. Hassan will discuss the patient’s options with them before their treatment.
Our patient’s safety and wellness are our top priority. Patients will be closely monitored by our experienced staff while sedated. We strive to help our patients restore health and function to their smile so that they may enjoy their optimal oral health.
Oral Conscious Sedation- Taken as a pill, oral conscious sedation allows patients to remain alert and aware of their surroundings while feeling relaxed. Patients can corporate with our dental care team but will feel no anxiety. Dr. Hassan may recommend combining oral conscious sedation with nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, for optimal results.
IV Sedation- IV sedation is administered through a vein and will require patients to have a ride to and from the dentist office. While patients are sedated, the dentist can perform multiple dental procedures in one sitting reducing the need for multiple visits to the dentist office.
