Dental fear and anxiety are more common than you might think. In fact, studies suggest that up to 75% of adults experience some level of dental anxiety, and roughly 10–15% avoid the dentist altogether because of it. At Sedation Dental Spa, we understand — and we’ve built our entire practice around helping fearful patients get the care they need, comfortably and without stress.
Why Do People Fear the Dentist?
Dental fear often stems from past painful experiences, fear of needles, the sounds and sensations of dental instruments, or simply a loss of control while in the chair. No matter the cause, your fear is valid — and it doesn’t have to stop you from having a healthy smile.
IV Sedation: The Solution for Dental Fear
Dr. Michael Gorman and the team at Sedation Dental Spa specialize in IV sedation dentistry — the gold standard for patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety. With IV sedation, you’ll be completely relaxed (or asleep) during your procedure. You’ll have no memory of the treatment, no discomfort, and you’ll wake up to a finished, beautiful smile.
IV sedation allows us to complete multiple procedures in a single visit — meaning fewer appointments and less anxiety overall. It’s safe, reversible, and administered by trained professionals throughout your treatment.
Our Comfortable, Spa-Like Environment
Beyond sedation, our offices in Miramar and Lighthouse Point are designed to feel like a retreat — not a clinical environment. Calming decor, warm staff, and a patient-first approach make every visit as comfortable as possible, even before sedation begins.
