Feel Calm, Safe, and at Ease
Comfort is Key—from start to finish
A Relaxed Dental Implant Care
We understand that for many people, a trip to the dentist brings real fear or anxiety. We don’t want that to stop you from getting the care you need. At Monterey Peninsula Dental Implant Center, we offer advanced anesthesia and sedation options for dental implants so you can receive treatment comfortably, safely, and without fear.
Whether you’re nervous, have had a past traumatic experience, or simply want to sleep through your procedure — we can help you feel relaxed and in control.
Options That Fit Your Needs
Designed Around Your Comfort and Procedure
While many implant procedures can be performed under local anesthesia (numbing only), we also provide advanced sedation and anesthesia options for patients who:
-
Experience dental fear or anxiety
-
Have a sensitive gag reflex or low pain tolerance
-
Need extensive or complex dental implant surgery
-
Prefer not to be aware of the sights, sounds, or sensations during treatment
You’ll receive a personalized plan based on your medical history, treatment complexity, and comfort level — so you can rest easy knowing you’re in experienced hands.
What to Expect
Your Comfort. Our Priority.
Our team includes a board-certified anesthesiologist who will monitor you throughout the entire procedure. This allows your surgeon to focus completely on the technical side of your treatment, while your anesthesiologist ensures you're safe, comfortable, and unaware of the procedure.
Most patients wake up with no memory of the surgery — and often surprised that it’s already over.
