If dental anxiety has kept you from scheduling an appointment, sedation dentistry can transform your experience and help you feel at ease.

Dental Sedation in Shawnee, OK

Dental anxiety is a common concern, and our team prioritizes your peace of mind by offering safe and effective sedation dentistry options. If you need nitrous oxide (laughing gas), we ensure that every visit is stress-free and tailored to your needs. Sedation options make procedures like wisdom teeth removal and deep cleanings more manageable. We offer sedation for any treatment—just let us know your preference.

As one of the few practices in the area with dentists licensed to perform sedation, we provide expert care for patients seeking options for managing dental anxiety. Our goal is to create a relaxing, worry-free experience so you can maintain your oral health without fear or discomfort.

  • What is dental sedation?

    Dental sedation uses medication to help patients feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. Depending on your specific needs, our dentist may administer mild sedation with laughing gas before your procedure.

  • Is sedation dentistry safe?

    Sedation dentistry is safe when performed by licensed professionals. We follow strict safety protocols, including:

    • Monitoring your vital signs throughout the procedure
    • Customizing sedation levels to your needs
    • Using approved, effective medications for a safe experience
  • How is laughing gas used at the dentist?

    Laughing gas, or nitrous oxide, is inhaled through a small mask over your nose. It helps you feel relaxed and comfortable during the procedure. Its effects wear off quickly, which allows you to resume normal activities afterward.
