Sedation Dentistry in
Rochester, NY
Gentle sedation options that help children and adults stay calm and comfortable through treatment.
Family Dentistry
What Is
Sedation Dentistry?
Dental anxiety is more common than many people realize—and it can prevent patients from getting the care they need. At Westfall Dental Studio, we offer safe and effective sedation to help you feel calm, relaxed, and confident during your visit. We focus on creating a welcoming environment where both children and adults can get treatment without stress.
Patients with dental anxiety or fear
Children who feel nervous about treatment
Individuals with special needs or sensory sensitivities
Patients undergoing longer or more complex procedures
Those with a low pain threshold or strong gag reflex
OPTIONS
Your
Sedation Options
We offer more than one path to a calm visit, and we will help you choose the right one.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
A safe and widely used option for both children and adults, nitrous oxide helps you feel relaxed while remaining fully conscious. It wears off quickly, so you can return to your normal routine after your visit.
Milo the Therapy Dog
Milo, Dr. Sari Manap's therapy dog, greets patients and helps nervous kids and adults settle in before treatment. For many patients a few minutes with Milo does more to calm nerves than anything else we offer.
Gentle Care for Kids
We combine sedation with our children's dentistry services so young patients build confidence instead of fear. Gentle techniques and kid-friendly language keep visits calm.
Kid-Friendly Themed Rooms
Our treatment rooms are themed to feel nothing like a typical dental office, which gives young patients something to focus on besides the appointment. It is one more way we help children build a positive view of dental care early.

When should my child first visit the dentist?
We recommend their first visit by age 1, or within 6 months of the first tooth erupting.
Do you treat patients with special needs?

Can we schedule the whole family on the same day?
Yes! Families often schedule back-to-back or same-day appointments for convenience.
Do you offer emergency dental care?
