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

Our Treatment Process

Step 1

Consultation

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Christina D.

"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."

Stephen K.

"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!"

Mark S.

"Dr. Jagow has a very gentle manner and touch, while at the same time demonstrating her extensive knowledge and skill. She and her very capable staff work together like a well-oiled machine. Her patients get excellent care and sensible recommendations. I never feel pressured to have a particular treatment done. I highly recommend Terrace Creek Dental Care."

Liz O.

"Professional friendly team who were able to get me in quick! 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!"

What Sets Us Apart

Oral Conscious Sedation

For deeper relaxation, oral sedation puts you in a dream-like state. It's perfect for longer procedures or higher anxiety. Our team monitors you closely for your safety and comfort.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Our nitrous oxide helps you feel calm and even a bit giggly. It's safe for most patients, including children, and wears off quickly so you can drive yourself home.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, when administered by our trained professionals. We monitor you closely and tailor the sedation to your needs.
