Read bio
I am Dr. Kevin Woon-Fat; After graduating from the dentistry program at the University of Western, in Ontario; I attended a residency program at Erie County Medical Center. That is where I first met Dr. Rocco Di Paola where we worked together in many surgical rotations. Since then, we have both worked together in the Niagara College Dental Clinics providing care to those in the Niagara Region. I had always enjoyed my time in the area and was excited to join Dr. Di Paola and the Garden City Dental team when I came on board at the Clinic in 2012. The Niagara Area has been good to me, and I look forward to a long, exciting career with everyone at Garden City Dental.

What is sedation dentistry and is it safe?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is very safe when administered by trained dental professionals. Garden City Dental offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety and oral sedation for moderate anxiety. Your vitals are monitored throughout the procedure, and sedation wears off quickly after treatment.
Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?
With most sedation options, you are not fully asleep but in a deeply relaxed, drowsy state. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) keeps you conscious and responsive but calm. Oral sedation may make you very drowsy — some patients don't remember the procedure afterward. You can still respond to instructions but feel little to no anxiety or discomfort.
How much does sedation dentistry cost?
Sedation dentistry costs vary based on the type of sedation used. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) typically costs $50 to $100 per visit on top of the procedure cost. Oral sedation may cost $150 to $500 per visit. Some dental insurance plans cover sedation for certain procedures. Contact Garden City Dental at (905) 688-5334 for a personalized estimate.
Can I drive home after sedation dentistry?
If you receive nitrous oxide (laughing gas), the effects wear off within minutes and you can typically drive yourself home. However, if you receive oral sedation, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home as the medication can impair your coordination and judgment for several hours after the appointment.
