Types of Sedation Dentistry We Offer

Every patient’s needs are different. That’s why we provide a full range of sedation methods, including:

  • Nitrous Oxide – Also called “laughing gas,” this mild option helps patients relax and wears off quickly after treatment.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation – Taken as a pill before your visit, this option produces deeper relaxation while allowing you to remain awake.
  • IV Sedation – Administered intravenously for stronger sedation and often used for complex procedures like Wisdom Teeth Removal or Oral Surgery.
  • General Anesthesia – A hospital-grade solution used only in specific cases, providing complete unconsciousness during treatment.

FAQs About Sedation Dentistry

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes. Each sedation method is carefully monitored, and our team reviews your medical history beforehand to ensure safety.

Will I be completely asleep?

It depends on the method. With nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, you remain awake but deeply relaxed. IV sedation and general anesthesia provide stronger effects, with general anesthesia causing full unconsciousness.

How long does it take to recover after sedation?

Recovery varies. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, while oral and IV sedation require rest afterward. General anesthesia has the longest recovery period.

Is sedation available for children?

Yes. For pediatric patients, nitrous oxide and oral sedation are safe options, often used alongside our Pediatric Dentistry care.

Does insurance cover sedation dentistry?

Coverage depends on your plan. We accept all PPO plans and Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal, and we also provide financing options through CareCredit, Sunbit, Cherry, LendingClub, and in-house plans.
