About Smiles Only Sedation Dental & Implant Center

Based on East Tanque Verde Road in the Bear Canyon area of Tucson, Arizona, Smiles Only Sedation Dental & Implant Center is a dental practice serving the area. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Is sedation dentistry safe?
It is considered safe when properly assessed and monitored, which is why your medical history and current medications matter beforehand. Being open about those is the main thing that keeps it safe.
Can sedation help with dental phobia?
It is one of the main reasons people use it. For patients who have avoided treatment for years, sedation often makes the first appointment possible, and some become more comfortable with routine care afterward.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

Dr. Lawton is amazing at what she does! Went in with jaw pain that I have had for months, in minutes after she gave me a Botox injection the pain was almost entirely gone. I can’t believe how quickly and painlessly she was able to treat me. I highly recommend her!! Great chair side manner and extremely knowledgeable.

I decided to visit smiles only sedation dental and implant center when my regular dentist told me they couldn’t fix a cracked tooth i had and that I needed to get it pulled, I decided to go see Dr. Vredenburg because if I needed it pulled I wanted to be able to get a tooth made the same day, well Dr. Vredenburg looked at my tooth and told me he could fix it and that it didn’t need to be pulled I almost cried. Everyone in his office goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I forgot I even had dental anxiety. They have a client for life with me now.

I had an excellent experience with Smiles Only Sedation Dental & Implant Center. Dr. Vredenburg and his staff were outstanding. Two different dentists had previously told me I was not a good candidate for implants because of bone loss, which was very discouraging. Dr. Vredenburg took the time to carefully evaluate my situation and felt that implants were still possible. I’m so grateful he didn’t immediately dismiss the idea. I decided to move forward with the 3-on-6 procedure, and the results are amazing. I now have a beautiful full set of teeth, and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. V was knowledgeable, confident, and very reassuring throughout the process. The entire team made me feel comfortable and well cared for. If you’ve been told implants aren’t an option, I highly recommend getting a consultation here. I’m incredibly thankful for the care I received and for the confidence my new smile has given me. — Phyllis

Dr. V at Smiles Only sedation Dental truly went above and beyond when my son chipped his tooth being his usual silly self. We had an appointment with our regular dentist to see what could be done, especially since my son was heading back to school on Monday and we needed a quick fix. Unfortunately, they suggested rebuilding the tooth without the broken piece—which didn’t sit right with me. When I brought the tooth fragment to Dr. V, he was genuinely excited to help. He not only took the time to listen, but he also repaired my son’s tooth the **same day as the consultation**—using the original piece! My son walked out with a full smile and all his confidence restored. We’re so grateful for Dr. V’s skill, compassion, and willingness to go the extra mile. We’re now proud to call Smiles Only Dentistry our new dental home. And let’s not forget the amazing staff—so warm, welcoming, and always ready to answer any questions with confidence and care. Highly recommend!!
