Types of Sedation at Smile Spa Camarillo Dentistry
IV Sedation
For deep relaxation, IV sedation is administered directly into your bloodstream, placing you in an almost sleep-like state. You’ll feel no anxiety or discomfort, and many patients have little to no memory of the procedure. Our experienced, certified dentists monitor you closely throughout your visit. Recovery is gradual, and you'll need someone to drive you home afterward.
Oral Sedation
Taken before your appointment in the form of prescription medication, oral sedation helps you feel calm and at ease while remaining conscious—an ideal option for moderate anxiety or longer procedures while still allowing you to respond to simple instructions.
Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?
Notice any of these? Schedule a visit — early care is easier care.

Dr. Shawn and the entire team at Camarillo Smile Spa are absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, you're treated with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Shawn takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout your treatment.The office is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to make every visit a positive experience. The quality of care is exceptional, and it's clear they truly care about their patients and their smiles.If you're looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to providing outstanding results, I highly recommend Dr. Shawn and Camarillo Smile Spa. Five stars all the way!
My time at Smile Spa was truly such a smooth and kind experience. The staff was all incredibly polite and respectful. Dr. Shawn explained information to me that other dentists had never communicated before. I was given options for my treatment and educated on each route.I've never had such a lovely experience at the dentist before! Immediately, you can tell patient well-being and comfort are top priorities for this office.
Having to lose a tooth is never a fun day but it is a comfort knowing that I was in good hands! Literally! Lol but seriously Dr. Shawn's experience made me feel safe and knowing I was with the right Doctor for the help I needed.
I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with this office. I had a canine tooth root canal fall out in the middle of the night. I called them and they were able to get me in the very next morning.The front desk team, Christina and Kristine, were both incredibly nice and easy to work with. The office itself is beautiful and feels like a high-end, professional establishment. The treatment rooms face the Camarillo airport, offering great views of planes taking off and landing.Nestor and Luz in the back kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Shawn is one of the best dentists I’ve ever worked with — you can clearly tell how passionate he is about his work, and it shows in the results.I received a bone graft and had a broken wisdom tooth extracted. I was out of there in just 45 minutes with no pain, my prescriptions already waiting at the pharmacy, and a clear treatment plan moving forward.I highly recommend this office to anyone!
Dr. Shawn is fantastic. He is caring and exceptionally skilled in his field. I felt comfortable and safe with all of my dental work procedures. Highly recommend!
Excellent dental care. No pain. Caring professional team. Recommend!
Dr. Shawn and Dr. Joelle are so kind and welcoming, and genuinely two of the most down to earth and knowledgeable dentists I have ever met! They made sure all of my questions were answered but that I also understood everything about my procedure and felt super secure in my decision. Additionally, Itana and Christina are SO beyond nice and communicative! I am super thankful for everybody at Smile Spa making me feel so welcome and taken care of!
Dr Shawn is genuinely one of the best doctors ive had. He did a great job with my wisdom teeth removal and the healing is going well. I was extremely anxious/in a panic but he was able to ease my nerves and it overall went very well. Cannot speak highly enough of him! (Even while i was in the waiting room another patient was telling me how wonderful he is and that im in great hands) 10/10 recommend!
Very helpful and knowledgeable people, very friendly and Professional
Smile Spa Camarillo is a beautiful, modern office with a welcoming and calming atmosphere. Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn and their team are highly trained, professional, and efficient, and they truly go above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and cared for. Everything is well organized, and the attention to detail really shows. They are intentional in everything they do and use state-of-the-art technology along with their ever-growing knowledge to provide the best care possible. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I highly recommend Smile Spa Camarillo to anyone looking for excellent dental care.
I recently saw Dr. Shawn at the Smile Spa Camarillo and cannot recommend them enough. Dr. Shawn and the whole staff was attentive, knowledgable, detailed, and claiming throughout the whole process. I was referred to them by a mutual friend after not being satisfy with my current dentist, where I spent a lot of money and hassle with getting a crown just to need the tooth extracted after 9 months because of a missed fracture. I reached out to Smile Spa and Dr. Shawn was able to see me within a day. During my visit, they performed multiple test and with advanced technology (including a CT scan of my teeth) was able to identify the problem and throughly explained the treatment plan. The tooth was extracted the same day. It was as smooth and painless a dental procedure can be. Dr. Shawn and the team even followed up through text the next day to see how I was doing. Thank you Dr. Shawn and the Smile Spa team!
Dr Nguyen extracted a tooth for me and will be performing a bone graft and then Implant. The extraction went very well with minimal pain and swelling. Dr Nguyen even called me a couple days later to see how I was feeling and to call him at any hour with any concerns! I look forward to completing the implant!
Clean, modern, and relaxing. The team made me feel at ease the whole time. Great experience!
Dr. Joelle, Dr. Shawn and the entire team are exceptional. They combine advanced technology with genuine care and attention to detail. From the first consultation to the breakdown of my treatment plan and then follow-up care as well. Just impressive, with regular check-ins and a commitment to my long-term dental health.If you’re looking for a place that blends luxury, professionalism, and cutting-edge dentistry, Smile spa Camarillo is second to none. This is the kind of experience that makes you actually look forward to your dental visits!
Great experience with something that isn’t usually pleasant! Dr Shawn & his assistant are wonderful!
Dr. Nguyen and his team are top notch! They will sit down and listen to your concerns and help you make the best decision for your health.
Had the opportunity to be a patient at the office for a consultation. The moment I walked through the door the front staff was extremely welcoming. X-rays were taken by the assistant who were extremely positive and conversational. Both Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn came in and did the consultation with me. They explained some of my options on my concerns while giving me more insight on what the procedure entailed. It was such an amazing experience. I’m glad to have found a new dental home. Already looking forward to coming back for the treatments they recommended
Great people, they are amazing! Love the decor! Very relaxing place to be.
Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn took care of my family member in need of immediate treatment. They are caring and attentive to detail. They explained the process thoroughly and everything went so smoothly. The office is beautiful and clean. I highly recommend them!

What Are the Side Effects of Sedation Dentistry in Camarillo, CA?
Side effects are usually mild and short-lived, and may include grogginess, slight dizziness, dry mouth, or temporary memory of little about the procedure.
