Snohomish dentist, Dr. Kraayenbrink, is especially passionate about sedation dentistry. In addition to offering a relaxing dental experience at our Snohomish office, Dr. Kraayenbrink is also part-time adjunct faculty at UW where he teaches resident dentists how to manage these same special needs and high-fear patients using the IV sedation technique.

Enhance Your Dental Experience with Sedation Dentistry
Regardless of the sedation option you choose, rest assured that we will closely monitor you throughout your treatment to ensure maximum comfort. Our dentists are highly skilled in administering sedation.
We offer three sedation options designed to put you at ease:
- Inhaled Sedation – Also known as laughing gas, this mixture of gas and oxygen induces a mild euphoric feeling and effectively calms nerves. It’s suitable for patients of all ages, including children.
- Oral Conscious Dental Sedation – We provide a prescription medication for you to take before your visit to ensure you arrive and remain calm throughout your appointment.
- IV Sedation – This potent form of sedation takes effect almost immediately, creating a dreamlike state where you’ll remember very little about the procedure.
We understand that overcoming dental anxiety isn’t as simple as “getting over it.” That’s why we offer sedation dentistry options to help alleviate your fears.
