Sedation Dentistry for Anxious Patients
Many people in Laguna Niguel feel nervous about seeing the dentist. Maybe you had a bad visit before, or you worry about sounds, smells, or pain. At Laguna Heights Dental, Dr. Gaff offers safe sedation options so even very anxious patients can feel calm during care.
Sedation dentistry uses gentle medicine to help your body and mind relax while we work. You stay closely watched the whole time, and we explain every step in simple words. Available options include:
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): Breathed through a mask to help you relax.
- Oral sedation: A pill you take before your visit to feel sleepy and less worried.
- Local anesthesia: Numbs the area we treat so you stay comfortable.
- IV sedation: Medicine through a small IV for deeper, steady relaxation.

Advanced Laser Dentistry
At our Laguna Niguel office, we use advanced laser dentistry to make many treatments more gentle and precise. Laser dentistry in Laguna Niguel lets Dr. Nazita Gaff treat teeth and gums with focused light instead of blades or loud tools. Many patients notice less pain, less bleeding, and faster healing.
Lasers can help with gum disease treatment, shaping or lifting the gums, cleaning around infected areas, and preparing small cavities. We also use laser technology for tooth whitening and certain minor surgical steps, often with very little discomfort. In some cases, you may need less numbing medicine or none at all.
This modern approach lets us treat many common problems with more comfort and control. If you are sensitive to noise, worry about shots, or have been putting off care, laser technology can be a kind, gentle way to get your mouth healthy again. Dr. Gaff will explain if a laser option is right for your visit and answer all your questions in simple, clear words.
Biological Dentistry
At Laguna Heights Dental, Dr. Nazita Gaff looks at how your mouth and body work together. As a biological dentist, she thinks about the teeth, gums, and the rest of your health, not just one tooth at a time. The goal is care that helps your smile and also supports how you feel day to day.
Dr. Gaff uses biocompatible materials and mercury free choices whenever possible. She blends modern dental tools with a gentle, whole body mindset, so treatment works with your body instead of against it. This approach follows current ADA best practices for safety and long term oral health.
Many patients from Beacon Hill, Monarch Point, Marina Hills, and nearby areas choose biological dentistry because they want careful, thoughtful treatment. If you have questions about materials or how a procedure might affect your health, Dr. Gaff will take time to explain your options in simple, clear words.
