  • What is Sedation Dentistry?

    Sedation dentistry is the use of sedatives in order to calm down and relax patients during dental treatment. Sedation dentistry is especially beneficial to those with dental phobias or anxiety as well as complex or lengthy procedures.

  • Sedation Dentistry Benefits

    Reduced anxiety: Sedation Dentistry helps patients feel calm and relaxed at their dental appointment.

    Comfortable Dental Procedures: Sedatives reduce discomfort  and sensitivity.

    Better Treatment Experience: Sedation dentistry promotes relaxation and can enhance the treatment experience of patients. This encourages them to seek out regular dental care, as well as address oral health problems promptly.

  • Sedation Dentistry: Is it right for you?

    Sedation dentistry is a good option if you have dental anxiety, fear or difficulty staying still for long periods of time. It may also be appropriate if you need extensive dental work. Our dental team will discuss your concerns, evaluate your medical history and determine the best sedation method for you.

Our Sedation Options

Bay Area Dental Specialists offers a wide range of sedation dentistry options to meet the needs and preferences unique to each patient. Sedation dentistry includes:


Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide): Laughing gas is also known as nitrous oxide. It is a mild sedative that can be administered by a mask over the nose. It produces a sense of euphoria and relaxation, which allows patients to be conscious and cooperative throughout their procedure.


Sedation Oral: The oral sedation is a medication that you take before your appointment. This medication is an excellent choice for patients who have moderate to severe dental anxieties.


Intravenous Sedation (IV): The IV sedation is administered by injecting sedatives directly into the bloodstream. This type of sedation causes a deeper relaxation and the patient may not remember anything about the procedure. This is often used for longer or more complex dental procedures.
