Sedation Periodontist in West Caldwell and Cranford, NJ

Looking for a sedation periodontist near you in Union County? At Sway Dental and Facial Esthetics, we see comfort as essential to care—just as important as scheduling and insurance. While procedures may be routine for us, we know they can feel like a big event for patients. That’s why we offer multiple sedation options, tailored to your needs, your procedure, and your preferences. From deep cleanings to full-arch implants, every detail is planned to help you feel calm and supported.


Sedation as Part of Comprehensive Periodontal Care

We take an A-to-Z approach, handling everything from prescriptions to follow-up. If sedation is included, we’ll walk you through what to expect, provide medication in advance when needed, and check in afterward to ensure you’re feeling well. It’s all part of the coordinated, start-to-finish care we provide.

We take an A-to-Z approach, handling everything from prescriptions to follow-up.

It’s all part of the coordinated, start-to-finish care we provide.

your comfort options


As a comprehensive sedation periodontist practice, we help you choose the best level of anesthesia and sedation based on procedure complexity, your anxiety level, and how long you’ll need to sit comfortably.

Options include:

Local Anesthesia

Used for nearly all surgical procedures and deep cleanings, local anesthesia thoroughly numbs the area so you stay comfortable throughout treatment.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Fast-acting and easy to recover from, nitrous oxide is available for cleanings, deep cleanings, and minor surgeries. It can be combined with oral sedation if extra support is needed. By itself, it wears off quickly—no all-day impairment.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation uses prescription medication taken the night before and/or morning of your visit. A common choice for dental implant placement and other minor surgeries, it’s mild but effective and safe. It’s especially helpful for patients with dental anxiety. The main drawback: its effects last much of the day, so you’ll need a ride and should avoid work or school afterward.

IV Sedation

For complex treatments like full-arch restorations or multiple implants, we partner with a skilled dental anesthesiologist. IV sedation provides a deeply relaxed, “twilight” state—you’ll remain responsive but won’t remember the procedure. This option is safe, closely monitored, and ensures complete comfort. Having a dedicated anesthesiologist means your care is managed with the highest safety standards.

Facial Esthetics Comfort

Sedation isn’t only for dental surgery. For facial treatments like microneedling, we use a high-strength topical numbing cream (BLT cream) from a compounding pharmacy. It makes treatments comfortable and surprisingly easy for patients. Paired with the fast recovery of Bio PRF®, it’s one of the reasons patients return again and again.

your comfort options

As a comprehensive sedation periodontist practice, we help you choose the best level of anesthesia and sedation based on procedure complexity, your anxiety level, and how long you’ll need to sit comfortably.

Options include:

Bio PRF
Bio PRF is a 100% natural regenerative therapy made from a small sample of your own blood. We use it in nearly every procedure because it speeds healing and lowers complication risks. Compared to older PRP or PRF methods, Bio PRF delivers higher concentrations of healing factors in multiple forms:

Solid PRF supports bone grafts and implants.
Gel PRF smooths under-eye hollows.
Liquid PRF rejuvenates skin.

Safe and additive-free, Bio PRF works with your body to restore tissue naturally.
Fotona LightWalker® Laser
This dual-wavelength medical-grade dental laser treats both hard and soft tissue with precision and minimal discomfort. We use it in gum surgery, esthetics, and cleanings. Paired with Bio PRF, the Fotona laser:

Speeds healing and recovery
Reduces pain, swelling, and infection risk
Minimizes or avoids invasive surgery
Supports long-term gum and skin health
Relies on your body’s own healing power
Prama® Implant System
The Prama Implant System is among the most advanced. Dr. Kang chooses them because they solve challenges in both high-visibility areas and low-bone-density cases. Benefits include:

A special neck design that promotes gum growth and reduces bone loss
Less need for grafting, thanks to soft tissue support
Smoother recovery with less trauma
Flexible placement with angle-correcting abutments, reducing lab costs
Effective for single and full-arch implants
Pinhole Surgical Technique™ (PST)
For gum recession, PST offers a minimally invasive alternative to grafting. Using tiny entry points, we gently reposition your gum tissue and add collagen beneath it. No cutting or stitches—just quick recovery, reduced risk of future recession, and immediate cosmetic improvement.
TRIOS® Intraoral Scanner
This 3D digital scanner captures precise images of your teeth and gums for treatment planning. Highly accurate scans help us coordinate seamlessly with your referring dentist or prosthodontist, ensuring smoother collaboration and better outcomes.
CBCT (Cone Beam CT)
Cone Beam CT provides 3D imaging of your jaw, sinuses, and oral structures. Essential for safe implant placement, bone grafting, or sinus lifts, CBCT shows bone quality, identifies vital structures, and guides surgical planning with low radiation and high detail—far beyond standard x-rays.
Magnetic Mallet
Despite its name, the Magnetic Mallet is a gentle surgical tool powered by electromagnetic force. It allows us to manipulate bone and lift sinus membranes with far less trauma than traditional methods, which means faster healing and more predictable results.
