Your Ideal Smile Is Possible With Different Kinds of Sedation

You may just want a light level of sedation to take the edge off, or you might prefer to be largely unaware of what is happening during your treatment. Unlike most general dentists, we offer different kinds of dental sedation so we have a solution for every level of anxiety. We’ll help you choose the one that is best suited to your situation. No matter which kind of sedation is used, you’ll be monitored throughout your appointment.

Your choices are:

  • Inhaled Sedation – This is sometimes called laughing gas. It takes effect almost immediately when inhaled through a small mask worn over your nose. It also wears off quickly and won’t leave you feeling disoriented. You’ll be able to drive yourself home after your procedure. Even young children can receive it.
  • Oral Sedation – We’ll give you a safe prescription medication to take before your treatment. You’ll be more relaxed than you would be with laughing gas. You’ll still be able to easily communicate with us. You’ll need to arrange a ride home, since the groggy feeling will linger.

You can also feel more at ease with our soothing comfort amenities like:

  • Eye masks
  • Water
  • Lip balm
  • Massage chairs
  • Stress-relieving yoga props
  • Blankets and pillows

“I got dental treatment fairly recently. I qualified for it through the VA fairly recently. The Tulsa clinic is extremely busy. I was having trouble with a bridge, a four-tooth bridge, it just didn’t feel comfortable. I felt like it was moving, and I couldn’t really explain that to the doctors how it was feeling because it was so unusual to me, I guess. I went in to see them …” Read More – Tom A.

Well, I can tell you who can help you with that, and you’ll like them from the moment you walk in.” People …” Read More – Susan R.
“I was expecting for my first root canal to like, be horrified. There were several times that Dr. Pahle said, “Can you feel that?” And I would say, “Yeah. I mean, I guess I can feel it, but it’s nothing major,” and he basically said, “I don’t want you to feel it at all.” So, it was his priority to ensure that I was as completely comfortable and relaxed as …” Read More – Martin M.
“I like coming to see Dr. Pahle mainly because the VA first referred me up here, and once I got here, they referred me up here for a broken bridge.

Common Questions About Sedation Options

What kinds of sedation are used for dentistry?

At our office, you can select from two different kinds of sedation: laughing gas and oral sedation. This makes certain you’ll get the ideal level of comfort, regardless of which treatment you’re getting or how worried you might feel about it. We’ll explain all the choices and respond to all your questions to help you make the optimal selection.

How long does dental sedation last?

It depends on the kind of sedation you pick. Laughing gas is effective as soon as you inhale it through a mask. Once we cut off the supply of gas, it wears off within minutes and without lingering grogginess. The effects of oral sedation last a lot longer, usually several hours.

Is dental sedation safe?

All levels of sedation administered in our practice are safe. They have been effective for many years to keep dental procedures as pain-free and stress-free as possible. Unlike the general anesthetic utilized for most medical procedures, you’ll be able to hear us and react to our team while getting dental sedation.
