No matter what your reason is for visiting Clover Hills Dental, our goal is to provide you with a relaxed and comfortable dental experience. 

Generally our patients find that local anesthetic is adequate for preventing pain during routine dental procedures such as fillings however, other patients find the additional help of dental sedation beneficial. 

Each patient's sedation and general anesthesia needs are unique. Your reasons for requiring sedation will be different from another patients, that's why our Surrey dentists determine each patient's sedation needs on a case-by-case basis.
