“I have been a patient of Dr. Robertson for over 20 years. I'm a sensitive patient when it comes to going to a dentist and Dr. Robertson always remains mindful of that and makes each experience as relaxing as possible. He has the best possible temperament one could ask for in a dentist. He consistently maintains the most professional and extremely friendly staff which combined with his skills makes his practice by far the best choice.”
- Bill W, Newport Coast
“I just finished a session with Dr. Robertson which involved removing a bridge and filling the tooth that held the bridge, then replacing the bridge. Dr. Robertson was very considerate and caring doing the work. He was most careful while doing the procedure and there was no pain involved. He is especially good in situations such as this one was.”
- Doris R Y.
“We're long-time clients of Dr. Robertson & Company, and we love our visits to his office. Dr. Robertson, and all the dental hygienists and staff, provide the very BEST care possible. Whether it's a simple cleaning and check-up, the need for fillings, cosmetic dentistry or other procedures, they do it all, and always with a smile! Dr. R even adjusted my retainer, the last time I was in. I know you'll enjoy the experience they give their patients. Keep up the great work, and you know we'll be back!”
- Christine C.
“I want to thank you for the outstanding customer service that you and your staff have provided to me and my sister Josephine. I also want to thank Dr. Robert Bryan Mcleod and his assistant for the outstanding and great surgery they did on the extraction of my tooth. All of you are a blessing to me and my sister and are very thankful that we have you now and in the future to come. All of you are highly skilled, professional and very caring. I give all of you the highest rating in every category.”
- Frances M.
“When I arrive for my appointments the staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming! When I arrive for my appointment, I am acknowledged immediately and seen just as immediately. No one LOVES going to the dentist but it's a necessary evil and it's nice when you have a staff as great as they are. I always feel like I'm in great hands. Thank you Dr. Robertson and staff for all you do.”
- Cheryl W.

How does oral sedation work?

Because some patients have severe anxiety about going to the dentist, Dr. Jeffrey Robertson offers oral sedation for your comfort. Some people have had prior dental trauma or unexplained dental phobia that makes them anxious and unable to relax for dental procedures.

While Dr. Robertson is extremely gentle and compassionate, we understand that some patients have had negative experiences in the past. Our main goal is to provide you with high-quality dentistry in a comfortable and relaxed environment. For some patients, that means they need a little help relaxing.

Pros of Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is an alternative to the traditional IV sedation used by oral surgeons for dental surgery. Oral sedation is a milder form of sedation and comes in a pill rather than an IV. While you will be completely relaxed, you will still be able to answer questions and follow instructions. Despite being conscious, you may not have any memory of your dental procedure or you may feel like it was a dream.

Many of our patients love the fact that their appointments seem to go by very quickly, smoothly, and are much more relaxing than without sedation.
