What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry encompasses various techniques designed to help patients feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. Unlike general anesthesia, dental sedation allows you to remain conscious while achieving deep relaxation that eliminates anxiety and minimizes discomfort. At our Seattle dental office, we carefully evaluate each patient’s needs to recommend the most appropriate sedation option, whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or complex procedures like dental implants.
Many patients who previously avoided necessary dental care due to fear now maintain regular appointments thanks to modern sedation techniques. Our experienced sedation dentist team ensures you feel drowsy yet responsive, creating a state where time passes quickly and memories of the procedure remain minimal.
Our Sedation Dentistry Options
IV Sedation
For patients with moderate dental anxiety or those undergoing lengthy treatments, IV sedation provides immediate and adjustable relaxation. This conscious sedation method allows our team to precisely control your comfort level throughout the procedure while you remain awake but deeply relaxed.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation offers a convenient solution for mild to moderate anxiety. You’ll take prescribed medication before your appointment, arriving at our office already feeling calm. This popular option helps countless patients overcome dental fear without requiring needles or complex monitoring equipment.
Nitrous Oxide
Known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide sedation provides gentle relaxation through a comfortable nasal mask. This time-tested option works quickly and wears off rapidly, allowing you to resume normal activities shortly after your dental appointment.

Benefits of Choosing Sedation
Overcome Dental Phobia
Sedation dentistry breaks the cycle of avoidance that often accompanies dental fear. Patients who once postponed treatment for years now maintain regular dental care schedules, protecting their oral health while feeling fully relaxed during every visit.
Pain-Free Experience
While local anesthesia prevents physical pain, sedation addresses the emotional aspects of dental treatment. You’ll experience minimal discomfort and often have little memory of the procedure, making even complex treatments manageable.
Efficient Treatment
Deep sedation allows our dentists to complete multiple procedures in a single appointment. This efficiency means fewer visits to our dental office and faster progress toward your oral health goals.
Don't let dental anxiety prevent you from achieving healthy smiles. Let our sedation dentistry experts help you experience truly comfortable dental care.
