What types of sedation are available for anxious patients?
Common types of sedation include nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation, both of which are offered at our office. Nitrous oxide provides mild, fast-acting relaxation during the procedure and wears off quickly afterward. Oral conscious sedation involves taking medication before the appointment, offering a deeper sense of calm while allowing you to remain awake but relaxed throughout the treatment. Both options help make dental visits more comfortable and stress-free.

How long do the effects of sedation last?
The effects of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) typically wear off within 5 to 10 minutes after the gas is stopped, allowing you to drive yourself home and resume normal activities quickly. In contrast, oral conscious sedation can last for several hours, with lingering drowsiness for up to 24 hours, so you’ll need someone to drive you home after your appointment.

How much does dental sedation cost?
The cost of dental sedation varies depending on the type used and the length of the procedure. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) typically costs $87 per visit, while oral conscious sedation typically costs $299. Prices may vary based on the procedure complexity and whether your insurance covers sedation, so it’s best to consult your dentist for an exact estimate.
