Dental anxiety is a common concern that prevents many patients from seeking necessary dental care, leaving them with untreated issues that can worsen over time. At The Toothery, we understand how overwhelming this can be. Still, with sedation dentistry, we offer a solution that allows our patients in the Hoffman Estates, IL, area to receive the care they need in complete comfort.
We provide general anesthesia for patients requiring complete sedation during more extensive dental procedures. For this service, we bring in a highly trained anesthesiologist who administers and monitors the anesthesia, ensuring you are fully unconscious and comfortable throughout the treatment.
This option is ideal for complex surgeries or for patients with severe dental anxiety. With the anesthesiologist’s expertise, we ensure a safe and controlled environment, allowing you to wake up comfortably after the procedure.
At The Toothery, we provide IV sedation for patients seeking a deeper level of relaxation during their dental treatments. Administered by a trained anesthesiologist, IV sedation allows for a controlled, comfortable experience while you remain conscious but deeply relaxed.
This option is ideal for those with dental anxiety or undergoing complex procedures. It ensures you remain calm throughout. Our team closely monitors your vital signs during the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort from start to finish.
Oral conscious sedation dentistry involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment, allowing you to feel calm and relaxed throughout the procedure. Oral sedation is a safe and effective way to help patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing more complex treatments. Our team closely monitors you to ensure a smooth and stress-free visit from start to finish.
We’re excited to introduce our lovable therapy dogs, Bear, Quinn, and Theo, who add a special touch to our practice by offering comfort and companionship during your dental visits.

Their calming presence creates a welcoming and soothing environment, ensuring each visit feels more like a comforting retreat than a dental appointment. At The Toothery, we believe in making your time with us truly special, and Bear, Quinn, and Theo are here to help every step of the way!
Prolonging dental care due to fear or anxiety can lead to severe consequences for your oral and overall health. Untreated dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and infections can worsen over time, leading to tooth loss, pain, and even systemic health issues like heart disease or diabetes.
Routine checkups are essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums, but delaying these visits increases the likelihood of needing more complex treatments. Sedation dentistry can make these appointments much easier, allowing you to address your dental concerns before they escalate. Don’t let dental anxiety stand in the way of your well-being; instead, prioritize your health by exploring sedation options with our team!
