Sedation Dental Care

What Types of Sedation Are Available at Esteem Dental Studio?

We offer two types of sedation dentistry to suit the needs of our patients:

Nitrous Oxide Sedation – Commonly known as laughing gas, this method helps you relax while keeping you fully conscious. The effects wear off quickly, so you can drive yourself home afterward.

Moderate Oral Sedation – Taken in pill form, oral sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. You’ll remain awake, but mostpatients have little to no memory of the procedure.

Why Choose Esteem Dental Studio for Sedation Dentistry?

At Esteem Dental Studio, we understand that dental visits can be overwhelming for many patients. Our team goes above and beyond to create a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, we work to ensure that every part of your experience is focused on your comfort and care. With advanced technology, compassionate care, and a patient-first approach, we make it easier than ever to get the dental care you need—without fear or discomfort.

Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?

Many patients find themselves avoiding the dentist due to anxiety, pain, or past traumatic experiences. If you find yourself in this situation, sedation dentistry may be the perfect solution. Esteem Dental Studio offers sedation options that help patients with:

  • Dental Anxiety or Phobia
  • A low pain threshold
  • A strong gag reflex
  • Sensitive teeth
  • The need for multiple procedures in one visit

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes! Our dentists are highly trained in sedation techniques, and we prioritize safety by carefully monitoring your vitals during the entire procedure.

Will I be awake during sedation dentistry?

With nitrous oxide or oral sedation, you’ll stay awake but remain deeply relaxed. Oral sedation may cause you to have little to no memory of your treatment. Patients often fall sleep during treatment due to being deeply relaxed, but are able to be roused by mild stimuli.

How long does it take for sedation to wear off?

Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately. Oral sedation, however, takes a few hours to fully wear off, so you’ll need someone to drive you home.

How much does sedation dentistry cost?

Costs vary depending on the type of sedation and your treatment plan. Contact our office for a personalized estimate.

Does insurance cover sedation dentistry?

Many insurance plans offer partial coverage for sedation, especially when deemed necessary for extensive procedures. We’ll help you navigate your insurance options.

What are the side effects of sedation dental care?

Side effects are generally mild and may include drowsiness or light nausea. For nitrous oxide, side effects wear off quickly, but for oral sedation, you may feel drowsy for several hours post-procedure.

How Sedation Dentistry Improves Your Experience

With sedation dentistry, you no longer have to delay necessary treatments. Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or more involved procedures like oral surgery or dental implants, we can offer sedation to make it more comfortable. Sedation allows us to complete complex treatments in fewer visits, so you can get back to your life faster!
