Being from out of town and working they understood and took great care of me explaining everything along the way. I really enjoyed the service/experience. I hope it's ok that I recommend your business for anyone who is from out of town and working in the area. Thanks again.

Dr Mike and his assistant Carrie were absolutely fantastic and such a blast to talk to them. The receptionists were extremely sweet as well and called me the next day to ask how I was feeling. Overall a great experience at this clinic and I will definitely be going back to receive any future treatment. 10/10.

Dr. Hoben was aware and he was very supportive. I’ve had a few visits this month and it’s been very positive. I highly recommend Dr. Hoben.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I moved to Petrolia September 2022. Petrolia dentistry was fantastic! I saw Dr. Rebecca Phillips. She conducted a very thorough examination of my teeth, jaw, mouth, gums, etc. We discussed a few options for some of my dental needs. She was very knowledgeable and offered reasonable options for me. She answered all my questions and concerns. I was very pleased with everything and have follow up appointments coming up. So far, excellent impression.
I’ve had several cleanings since. All the hygienists are professional and knowledgeable.  They always try to accommodate appointment times.
This year Dr. Hoban performed a dental implant on my lower left jaw. It’s always a process with several appointments and follow ups needed. Everything was thoroughly explained to me from A-Z. The process proceeded as planned. Everything went smoothly and am happy with the results of the implant. I have one more to do next year.
The only negative thing I can think of is that they are not open very early or any late hours during the week, or Saturdays. It’s basically normal business hours, so I had to take time off from work for appointments.
I highly recommend Petrolia dentistry for your dental needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best Dental Experience I've ever had in 47 years. I used to avoid getting my teeth cleaned because I found it painful and unpleasant. Amy changed that. She was gentle, kind, funny and thorough in her explanations and the cleaning was swift and painless. Dr. Hoban is wonderful and supportive in every way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses gentle medication to help you relax during dental procedures. Whether you’re having a simple cleaning or a more complex treatment, sedation can make your visit calm, comfortable, and anxiety-free.

It’s ideal for patients who:

Feel nervous or fearful about dental visits
Have a strong gag reflex
Require multiple procedures in one appointment
Have had negative past experiences at the dentist
Struggle to sit still for long periods

At Petrolia Dentistry, your comfort is always our top priority — and sedation helps make that possible.

Our Sedation Options

We offer a variety of sedation techniques tailored to your level of comfort and treatment type.

Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”)

This light form of sedation helps you feel relaxed and at ease while remaining fully awake and responsive.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation involves taking a small, prescribed medication before your appointment.

Combined Sedation Options

For patients with higher anxiety levels, we can safely combine oral medication with nitrous oxide for enhanced relaxation. Our team closely monitors you throughout your visit to ensure your comfort and safety.

Why Choose Petrolia Dentistry for Sedation Dentistry

Experienced & Compassionate Dentists Dr. Hoben and Dr. Phillips are experienced in sedation techniques and patient comfort management — helping even the most anxious patients feel at ease.
Advanced Dental Technology We use digital CT imaging and CEREC scanning to streamline procedures, shorten chair time, and minimize discomfort.
All Services Under One Roof Whether you need a simple filling, wisdom teeth removal, or same-day crown, sedation is available for any treatment.

What to Expect During Your Sedation Visit

Consultation

We’ll discuss your medical history, comfort level, and dental concerns to determine which sedation option suits you best.

Preparation

For oral sedation, you’ll take the prescribed medication before your visit. For nitrous oxide, we’ll apply it via a light nose mask once you’re seated.

Treatment

You’ll remain calm and comfortable throughout your procedure while our team performs your dental work efficiently and gently.

Aftercare

After nitrous oxide, you can safely drive yourself home. With oral sedation, you’ll need someone to accompany you. Our goal is to help you leave with a healthier smile — and zero stress.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Patients who once avoided the dentist often find sedation dentistry life-changing — finally able to achieve the healthy smile they’ve always wanted.
