In Mountlake Terrace

Experience the comfort of sedation dentistry at Terrace Creek Dental Care. Our compassionate team understands dental anxiety and is here to make your visit stress-free and gentle.

More Than Just Sedation

True comfort comes from understanding. That's why our approach to dental anxiety starts with listening. We take the time to get to the root of your fears, whether it's past experiences, fear of pain, or sensitivity to sounds. By understanding your unique concerns, we craft an individualized plan that includes not just sedation options like nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation, but also personalized comforts like headphones to block noise, warm blankets, or a step-by-step plan for anesthesia to ensure you're fully numb.

The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Here are a few benefits of getting treatment:
  • Reduced Anxiety: Feel calm and relaxed throughout your visit
  • Comfortable Procedures: Sedation makes even lengthy treatments feel quick
  • Better Outcomes: A relaxed patient means more efficient, effective care
  • Improves Anesthetic Effectiveness: Sedation allows for more comfortable numbing, enhancing your overall comfort during treatment

First, we'll discuss your anxiety levels and medical history to determine the best sedation option for you. Dr. Jagow and our team will listen to your concerns and explain everything clearly.

Sedation

On the day of your treatment, we'll administer your chosen sedation. With nitrous oxide, you'll breathe in the gas through a mask. For oral sedation, you'll take a pill before your appointment.

Treatment & Recovery

While sedated, you'll feel deeply relaxed as we perform your treatment with gentle care. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, but if you choose oral sedation, you'll need a ride home.

"Dr Jagow and staff are absolutely wonderful. Everyone I have had the chance to meet has been incredibly friendly and helpful. Anthony from the front desk has gone out of his way multiple times to help accommodate scheduling and help with insurance. The techs and assistants are great! Dr Jagow is friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent dentist. I’ve had cleanings, my first crown, and my first veneers in her office and every time has been a great experience. I love that they can print crowns in house. 100% recommend."

"She is very informative about what she is doing. I have now been to see Dr. Jagow twice in the last 3 weeks. Once for a first time cleaning, and second for a filling to be replaced. She is very informative about what she is doing and makes sure you are comfortable with everything before she does it. There was no discomfort at all with anything she did, including drilling out the old filling without numbing me (at my choice). She is that good! As is her staff, they are all, simply amazing!"

Has wonderful staff and hygienists that are attentive to patient's needs and are thorough with cleanings, addressing oral health, and educating patients as well! Thank you team at Terrace Creek Dental! Also side note, this is one of the few dental clinics I was able to find in the area that provided in-house dental insurance for those that may need it! Thank you again!"
