Relax.
We’ve Got You.

At Riverway Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can be overwhelming for many people. That’s why we offer safe and effective sedation options to help you relax and receive the care you need—without fear or discomfort.

Benefits of

Sedation Dentistry

  • Reduce Anxiety & Fear
    Ideal for patients with dental phobia or past traumatic experiences. Sedation helps calm nerves and create a peaceful, worry-free experience.

  • Pain-Free Procedures
    Sedation significantly reduces discomfort, making it easier to undergo treatments from cleanings to oral surgery.

  • Fewer Appointments
    With sedation, we can often complete multiple treatments in one longer session, reducing the number of visits needed.

  • Improved Comfort & Control
    You remain conscious but deeply relaxed—many patients don’t even remember the procedure afterward.

  • Support for Sensitive Patients
    Perfect for those with a strong gag reflex, high tooth sensitivity, or difficulty sitting still for extended periods.

  • Monitored by Experienced Professionals
    Your safety is our top priority. Sedation is administered and carefully monitored by trained dental professionals throughout your visit.

Our Testimonials

Fear-Free Dentistry,
One Patient at a Time

So, a huge applause to Dr. Wade Luksay, for giving me my first good experience at a dentist! Had me in and out within a few hours and pain-free that afternoon. I'm beyond grateful and appreciative of your immaculate services.

They met all my concerns with grace, kindness, and professional preparedness. Highly recommended!
CJ Rice
Had to get a cleaning and some fillings done after a long delayed dentist visit due to terrible dental anxiety. The staff (Denise especially) were so understanding and sweet, they did everything to make me comfortable. The fillings appointment went very smoothly and they gave me nitrous to make the procedure bearable. Can't thank Dr. Luksay and the team enough for taking great care of me!
Jenny West
I just wanted to pass on my families appreciation for the exceptional service at Riverway Dental. We have been with Riverway Dental for a few years now and each and every time it is a flawless, 10 out of 10, top tier experience. From the admin staff, to the hygienists (Denise and Anna), and last but not least Dr. LUKSAY, the service is fantastic throughout.
