 Most of our patients come to Smiles on Broadway for their dental care because of the caring, comfortable atmosphere we provide. Some find comfort in our messaging back pads or our aromatherapy neckwarmers, some only require their favorite music played during their treatment. We have always offered the benefit of added relaxation with sweet air, but even still for some, dental treatment can raise their anxiet no matter how hard we try to comfort them. For this reason, Drs. Katz and Lizzio have sought out to find a way to make dental treatment relaxing for everyone.
Sedation dentistry is a way to make any type of appointment, from a simple cleaning to a root canal, seem like a tranquil experience. Our doctors have completed an extensive training program at NYU School of Dentistry, and have received State Certification in performing conscious sedation. We are excited to announce the benefits of anxiety free sedation dentistry are now available to our patients!
Sedation dentistry is achieved using oral medication and is completely safe. Because there are no IV's or needles, you can feel confident knowing that dental care won't begin until we know you are completely relaxed. Most patients say that "the time felt like it flew by" and the following day, can't even recall their experience.

Sedation dentistry is ideal for people who put off necessary dental care because of fear. It is also beneficial for those who have very sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or simply want to expedite complex dental treatment.
One of the greatest uses of sedation is for patients who have extensive dental problems and a limited time to complete care. Complex dental treatments that often require six to eight appointments can be done in as little as one! All while you relax.
 When you arrive in our office, you will be escorted to the treatment room, covered with a warm blanket and placed on a monitor to watch your vital signs while medications are being administered. After you are comfortable, our experienced clinical team at Smiles on Broadway will take care of your dental needs. You'll be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing. When your treatment is completed, your companion will return you home where you can finish your comfortable, relaxing day.
Once you've experienced sedation dentistry, you'll never be afraid to go to the dentist again. Sedation dentistry can change your life if you have been unable to have dental care accomplished due to feear or anxiety.
