Ready to try sedation dentistry in Burnaby? Here’s what to expect.
Step 1: Speak with a dentist
Whether you’re new to VCCID or a longtime regular, the first step is to make sure that sedation is right for you.
Step 2: Request sedation while booking
If there aren’t any allergy concerns or medication conflicts, you can ask for sedation while booking any upcoming treatments.
Step 3: Come in and get set up
Sedation is quick, but not instant. Once you arrive and receive your sedatives, it’ll take a few minutes for them to begin working.
Step 4: Experience treatment with sedation
For some people, it’s revolutionary. There’s less anxiety and treatments can feel like they’re over in a fraction of the time.
Step 5: Enjoy a healthier smile
All done! Keep in mind, though, that oral sedation’s effects can last for a few hours, so it’s best to arrange for a ride home.

Teeth Whitening Burnaby Additional Information
Teeth whitening happens as a result of a chemical reaction that penetrates the enamel of the teeth to remove stains below the surface. Either Hydrogen peroxide or Carbamide peroxide will be used to brighten any stains present in the dentin, the layer of tooth below the enamel.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do teeth whitening effects last for?
It depends on the condition of your teeth, level of staining, and type of whitening used. In general, though, you won’t notice any decrease in brightness for 6 months to a year or more.
How big of a difference will I see?
While the degree of difference will be tied to your smile’s original colour, you’ll almost certainly see a clear, noticeable difference in the brightness of your smile with professional teeth whitening.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Dental experts agree that teeth whitening is safe. The only thing to keep in mind is that your teeth and gums might feel more sensitive for a day or two after whitening.
Do teeth naturally darken with age?
Unfortunately, yes. As the inner layer of a tooth (dentin) gets thicker and darker over time, and the enamel above it wears down, the tooth can begin to look darker. Whitening starts to become less effective at this point, since the darker shading is from inside the tooth.
