A Calming Experience for Every Visit
If the thought of visiting a dentist makes you nervous, you’re not alone. At Lakeview Dental, we offer sedation options to help you feel at ease during your treatment. Whether you have dental anxiety or require a complex procedure, we’re here to ensure a smooth and comfortable dentistry experience.
Is Sedation Dentistry Right for you?
Dental sedation is a great option for those who experience:
Dental Anxiety
Fear or nervousness about dental procedures.
Strong Gag Reflex
Difficulty with impressions or dental work in the back of the mouth.
Sensitive Teeth
Heightened discomfort during cleanings or treatments.
Complex Surgical procedures
Dental treatments such as wisdom teeth removal or tooth extraction.
Difficulty Sitting Still
Patients who struggle with long procedures or have medical conditions that make it challenging.
Extensive Dental Work
Multiple treatments that can be completed in one relaxed visit.
Sedation Options We Offer
We provide different levels of sedation to suit your needs:
IV Sedation
Dr. Sigel has advanced training in IV sedation, which helps keep patients deeply relaxed during complex procedures like wisdom teeth removal and dental implant placement. This safe and effective technique involves administering the sedative intravenously. Due to Dr. Sigel’s ability to perform advanced procedures, often referred to specialists, IV sedation has become a popular choice at our office.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitro oxide, also known as "laughing gas," is a mild sedative that helps ease anxiety during treatment. The gas is administered through a small nose piece to keep you relaxed while remaining fully alert. For added calmness, it can also be combined with oral sedation when needed.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication, such as Ativan, about an hour before your appointment. This option helps you feel calm and at ease throughout your visit. If you choose oral sedation, a trusted adult must accompany you to and from your appointment.
Why Choose Lakeview Dental for Sedation Dentistry?

A Relaxing, Judgment-Free Environment
We understand dental anxiety and create a welcoming, stress-free space where you can feel at ease.
The Sedation Process: What to Expect
1.
Before Your Appointment
We'll review your medical history, discuss sedation options, and provide pre-appointment instructions. If using oral sedation, you'll take the prescribed medication before your visit. If IV sedation is being used, you will first have an IV consultation to conduct a full health assessment, review pre and post operation instructions and ensure you feel comfortable with the procedure.
2.
During Your Treatment
Once the sedation takes effect, you’ll feel deeply relaxed. With IV sedation, we continuously monitor your comfort level, adjusting as needed. Dr, Sigel will then perform the procedure while you remain at ease.
3.
After Your Appointment
For IV and oral sedation, you’ll need a friend or family member to drive you home. We recommend resting for the remainder of the day, and our team will provide aftercare instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery. With Nitrous Oxide sedation, patients typically recover quickly and will be able to drive themselves home after the treatment.

We’ve had a really great experience at this dental office for both myself and my kids—the staff are always friendly, patient, and make everyone feel comfortable from the moment we walk in, which has really helped ease my kids’ nerves about dental visits; the office is consistently clean and well-organized, our routine cleanings are always thorough and gentle, and when I had my wisdom teeth taken care of, the dentist explained everything clearly and made the whole process much easier than expected, with smooth recovery thanks to their helpful follow-up care—overall, we truly appreciate the professionalism and genuine care they show and would highly recommend them to any family looking for a reliable dental team.

If you’re looking for a dental office that truly stands out, I can’t recommend Lakeview Dental enough.
Dr. Greg Sigel is an exceptional dentist—highly experienced, incredibly skilled, and, most importantly, he treats you like a real human being, not just another appointment on the schedule. That alone sets this clinic apart from so many others.
From the moment you walk in, the space feels warm and welcoming. Alexandra has done an amazing job designing the office—it genuinely feels like home. Every staff member greets you with kindness, and the thoughtful touches like Nespresso, sparkling water, and a comfortable waiting area make a huge difference.
My experience has been so positive that I’ve brought my entire family here—my toddler for his very first dental visit, my husband, and even my father-in-law. We all love it. My cleanings are always efficient and thorough—the best I’ve ever had.
My husband had fillings corrected that were previously done at a chain dental office, and Dr. Sigel not only fixed them properly but identified and treated additional issues—all in a single appointment. The previous clinic had planned five separate visits for the same work.
That level of care, efficiency, and attention to detail is rare.
We are so happy we made the switch. Lakeview Dental has earned our trust completely, and I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality dental care.

Lakeview Dental, under the expert guidance of Dr. Sigel and his assistant Alana, offers a truly exceptional dental experience. From the moment you walk in, the warmth and professionalism of the staff create a welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts patients at ease.
Dr. Sigel is not only highly skilled but also takes the time to explain procedures in a way that's easy to understand, ensuring that patients feel informed and comfortable throughout their visit. His attention to detail is evident in the quality of care he provides, making him a trusted choice for both routine check-ups and more complex dental work.
Alana, his assistant, complements Dr. Sigel’s practice perfectly. She is compassionate, attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that all procedures run smoothly. Her ability to anticipate the needs of both Dr. Sigel and the patients adds to the overall positive experience.
Dental care can put you in a very vulnerable setting, both Dr.Sigel and Alana made something so hard seem so easy to be able to do. They made me feel safe and comfortable to be able to express all my needs, concerns and fears with my dental journey. I don't feel that I could I have been put in better hands. My experience was almost somewhat therapeutic and I am grateful to be able to experience that. I walked in broken and with a major problem to my front teeth, wearing a mask to hide it and I left smiling. I have not stopped smiling. My confidence is coming back and my fear of being in a dental office was taken away with the first experience I had in their office. I'm happy to call that my dental home now.
Overall, Lakeview Dental excels in combining professionalism with a personal touch, making every visit a pleasant one. Whether you're new to the area or looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Sigel and Alana at Lakeview Dental for your dental care needs.
