No matter where you are on the anxiety spectrum, our sedation options in Broken Arrow will soothe your nerves so you can get the dental care you need.

Stay Calm With Dental Sedation & Comfort Amenities

Because your anxiety level isn’t always the same, we offer different kinds of safe dental sedation so you can choose the one that best fits your situation. No matter which one you select, our staff will monitor you throughout your treatment. Your options are:

  • Inhaled Sedation – Also called laughing gas, we administer it through a small mask worn over your nose. It takes effect quickly and wears off fast too, with no lingering grogginess. You can even drive yourself home. It’s so safe we can give it to young children.
  • Oral Sedation – You’ll take a prescription pill before your procedure. It offers a deeper level of relaxation than laughing gas. Since you’ll remain groggy for a while, you’ll need to arrange a ride home.

Sedation isn’t the only way we ensure you are comfortable in our care. We’ll also offer you comfort amenities, including:

  • Massage chairs
  • Soft pillows
  • Warm blankets
  • Netflix or music to entertain you while we work

Common Questions About Sedation Options

What kinds of sedation are used for dentistry?

At our office, you can choose from two sedation options: laughing gas and oral sedation. This helps ensure you’ll enjoy the right level of relaxation, no matter which kind of treatment you’re receiving or how nervous you may feel about your procedure. We’ll explain all the options and answer all your questions to help you make the best choice.

How long does dental sedation last?

It depends on the kind of sedation you choose. Laughing gas is effective while you inhale it through a small mask. Once the supply of gas is cut off, it wears off very quickly and without any lingering grogginess. The effects of oral sedation last much longer, up to several hours.

Is dental sedation safe?

All methods of sedation used at our office are safe. They have been used for many years to keep dental procedures as painless and stress-free as possible. Unlike the general anesthesia used for most medical procedures, you’ll be able to hear us and respond to our staff while receiving dental sedation. You’ll also be monitored the entire time you are under sedation.
