Sedation Dentistry in Korea
Stress-Free, Pain-Free Dental Treatment in a Calm Environment
Feeling nervous about dental treatment? You’re not alone. At Smile Studio in Gangnam, we understand that fear or anxiety can prevent people from getting the care they need. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry in Korea, a safe and effective way to help you relax throughout your procedure—whether it’s a simple cleaning or complex surgery.
Our goal is to make your visit completely comfortable, smooth, and stress-free from start to finish, with English-speaking staff to guide you every step of the way.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses calming medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. While you're still conscious (unless under general anesthesia), you’ll feel deeply at ease and may not even remember the treatment afterward.
We offer different levels of sedation based on your needs and the type of procedure:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask that wears off quickly
- Oral Sedation: A prescription pill taken before treatment to relieve anxiety
- IV Sedation: Administered directly into the bloodstream for deeper relaxation
- General Anesthesia (available for certain cases under medical supervision)
Who Should Consider Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for:
- Patients with dental anxiety or fear
- Individuals with a strong gag reflex
- Patients undergoing lengthy or complex procedures
- Those with low pain tolerance
- People with traumatic dental experiences in the past
We tailor the sedation level and method to ensure safety and comfort throughout your care.
