If dental visits make you tense, you are not alone. Sedation dentistry is designed to support relaxation so you can receive care with less stress and more comfort. At Park View Dental, we focus on your sense of safety in our office, not on judgment. Dr. Cooper Mitchell and our team begin with listening, then explain every step in clear language. You can ask questions, set preferences and choose signals to pause at any time.

Many people consider sedation dentistry after delaying visits for months or years. Others want support because of sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still. Comfort support can also help when an appointment may take longer than usual. Your care plan is always based on your health history, current medications and personal goals. We take time to review risks and benefits so you can make an informed decision.

What to Expect

A comfort-focused visit starts before you sit in the chair. Our team will help you feel prepared with clear instructions and a calm pace. During your appointment, we monitor you closely and adjust the approach as needed.

You can expect:
• A private consultation that respects your concerns and past experiences
• Simple explanations, predictable steps and a steady, supportive team
• A sensory-aware environment with options for sound, lighting and breaks
• Attention to your medical history and comfort goals throughout the visit
• Post-visit guidance that supports a smooth return to your day

We welcome patients of all backgrounds and we strive to communicate in ways that work for you. If you prefer another language, ask about bilingual support so you feel understood. If you live with anxiety, trauma or special health care needs, share what helps you feel safe. Small details, such as where you sit, how instruments are presented or how often we check in, can make a big difference.
