Relax. You're in Gentle, Expert Hands.

Does the thought of going to the dentist make you anxious? You’re not alone. At OraCore Dental, we offer sedation dentistry to help even the most nervous patients feel calm, comfortable, and confident throughout their visit. Whether you need a routine cleaning or complex dental work, sedation can make your experience completely stress-free.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses safe, controlled medication to help you relax during dental procedures. It’s ideal for patients who experience dental anxiety, have a strong gag reflex, or require extensive treatment in fewer visits. You’ll stay calm, pain-free, and often remember little to nothing about the procedure.

Types of Sedation We Offer

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild, fast-acting sedative breathed through a mask. You’ll feel relaxed but fully awake and the effects wear off quickly after your visit.

Oral Sedation

A prescription pill taken before your appointment. You’ll remain conscious but deeply relaxed. Someone will need to drive you home afterward.

IV Sedation

A deeper level of sedation administered through an IV for more complex procedures or high anxiety. You’ll likely have no memory of the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety or fear

  • Those with a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth

  • People with a strong gag reflex

  • Patients who need multiple procedures in one visit

  • Individuals with special needs or difficulty sitting still

With nitrous oxide, you can return to normal activities immediately. Oral or IV sedation requires a few hours of rest and someone to drive you home.

Coverage varies. Sedation for medical necessity may be partially covered, but elective use is often out-of-pocket. We offer affordable options and financing.
