Sedation Dentistry in Kennewick, Yakima & Walla Walla
Fear of the dentist is incredibly common—but it shouldn’t keep you from the care you need. At EW Implants & Periodontics Center, we offer multiple forms of sedation dentistry to help you feel calm, relaxed, and in control throughout your treatment. Whether you need oral surgery, implant placement, or periodontal therapy, we’ll help you choose the safest, most comfortable sedation method for your needs.
Comfortable Dental Care Starts Here
Led by Dr. Abdullah Alkanan, a board-certified periodontist with advanced training in IV sedation and surgical care, our practice offers tailored sedation solutions for a wide range of procedures, anxiety levels, and medical backgrounds.
We often recommend sedation for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or fear
- Are undergoing dental implant or oral surgery
- Have had traumatic dental experiences
- Require multiple procedures in one visit
- Have difficulty sitting still for extended periods
- Prefer to be unaware of the procedure
Each sedation option is delivered with full monitoring and care in our private surgical suites.

Types of Sedation We Offer
We offer three forms of sedation at EW Implants & Periodontics Center. Here's how they compare:
| Sedation Type | Level of Consciousness | How It's Administered | Best For | Patient Experience |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Awake but deeply relaxed | Pill taken by mouth | Mild to moderate anxiety, short procedures | Drowsy, may not remember much | |
Conscious but semi-aware | Medication through IV | Moderate to severe anxiety, longer or complex procedures | Feel “asleep,” limited memory of procedure | |
Fully unconscious | IV or gas with anesthesia provider | Surgical patients who want to be completely unaware, special needs | Asleep, no memory of procedure |
Not sure what’s right for you? We’ll walk you through your options during your consultation, discuss your medical history, and explain what to expect before, during, and after sedation.
