With sedation, you can finally receive the care you need—comfortably and confidently.

A mild sedative inhaled through a mask that helps you relax while staying fully awake. Effects wear off quickly after treatment.
A prescribed medication taken before your appointment that helps you feel calm and drowsy during treatment.
A deeper sedation option administered through a vein for patients needing advanced relaxation during complex procedures.
From the moment you arrive, our team focuses on making you feel comfortable and cared for.
You’ll leave with a healthier smile—and a more positive view of dental care.

Clarksville Smiles proudly serves the West Creek community with gentle, anxiety-free dental care. If the thought of a dental checkup makes your heart race, our nearby office offers a calm, welcoming environment designed to help you erase dental fear. We specialize in making premium dental care accessible and stress-free for families throughout the West Creek area.
We match our sedation methods to your personal comfort level. Your options include Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas), which gives you a light, floating feeling that disappears instantly; Oral Sedation, where a prescribed pill leaves you feeling deeply tranquil and relaxed; and IV Sedation, which offers a much deeper level of relaxation for major procedures or intense dental phobias.
No, you remain awake and responsive the entire time. Sedation dentistry is not the same as general anesthesia. You will be completely relaxed, comfortable, and able to speak with Dr. Ribeiro and our staff if needed, but you will be in a dream-like state. Most of our West Creek patients report remembering absolutely nothing about their treatment once it is finished.
We treat your safety with the highest level of care. Our dental professionals strictly follow all Tennessee state safety guidelines. We thoroughly evaluate your medical history before your visit, and during your actual procedure, our certified team uses advanced electronic monitoring to continuously track your vital signs, heart rate, and oxygen levels from start to finish.
If you choose laughing gas, you can safely drive yourself back to West Creek immediately because the gas leaves your body within minutes. However, oral and IV sedation require time to fully wear off. If you use either of these methods, you must have a trusted friend or family member come with you to drive you home safely.
You don’t have to let fear or anxiety prevent you from achieving a healthy smile. At Sedation Dentistry West Creek, we make your comfort our priority every step of the way.
Let us help you experience dentistry in a calm, stress-free environment designed just for you.
