Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or fear
- Have a strong gag reflex or sensitive teeth
- Need multiple procedures in one visit
- Struggle to sit still for long appointments
- Have a low pain threshold
- Prefer a more relaxed experience for complex treatments
Our team personalizes sedation care based on your comfort level, medical history, and treatment needs to ensure a safe and pleasant visit.
Types of Sedation We Offer
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
A mild sedative inhaled through a small nose mask. It provides relaxation during treatment and wears off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities afterward.
Oral Sedation
A prescribed pill taken before your appointment. This option helps reduce anxiety and creates a drowsy, calm sensation—many patients remember little about the procedure.
IV Sedation
Delivered intravenously for deeper relaxation during more involved procedures. You remain conscious but in a sleep-like state, with little or no memory of the visit afterward.
These options are available for both general and restorative dentistry procedures, depending on your treatment plan.
Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?
Yes. When administered by trained professionals like Dr. Emily Conley and our experienced clinical team, sedation dentistry is a safe and widely used method for easing dental anxiety. Before recommending any sedation method, we’ll review your medical history, address any concerns, and ensure you’re a good candidate.
Throughout the procedure, we closely monitor your vital signs and comfort to ensure a safe, well-managed experience.
What to Expect During Your Sedation Visit
1. Consultation & Medical Review
We’ll discuss your health history, level of anxiety, and treatment plan to choose the best sedation option for your needs.
2. Administration of Sedation
Depending on the method, you may inhale nitrous oxide, take a pill, or receive IV sedation before your treatment begins.
3. Relaxed Dental Care
Once sedation takes effect, we’ll begin your procedure while you remain comfortable and at ease.
4. Post-Treatment Recovery
- Nitrous oxide: Wears off quickly—most patients can drive themselves home.
- Oral or IV sedation: Effects last longer, so a responsible adult must accompany you and drive you home.

Will I be asleep during sedation?

Can children receive sedation?
Yes. Nitrous oxide is commonly used for children with dental anxiety. We evaluate each child’s needs before making a recommendation.
