Painless dentistry refers to modern methods and technology that minimize or eliminate discomfort during dental treatments. At Illume, we understand that many people avoid dental visits because of fear of pain or discomfort. That’s why we focus on providing truly painless dentistry, to make your dental experience comfortable and stress-free.
Sedation Dentistry
For patients who feel anxious, nervous or have had difficult dental experiences in the past, we offer conscious sedation. Also known as laughing gas, it allows you to remain awake yet deeply relaxed during treatment.
- Reduces anxiety and fear of dental procedures.
- Safe for both children and adults
- Quick recovery time – resume normal activities soon after
Orofacial Pain Management
Chronic jaw pain, headaches or facial discomfort can make daily life difficult. At Illume, we specialize in diagnosing and treating orofacial pain with modern, evidence-based methods.
