Dental Sedation
Gentle Dental Sedation For a

Dental sedation is an advanced solution for individuals who experience dental anxiety, require extensive dental work, or have unique medical needs. Our team is committed to providing a safe and personalized experience tailored to your specific requirements.
What is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation involves the use of carefully administered medications to help you relax during your dental procedure. These medications are delivered through an IV, ensuring precise control and effective results. While you will remain breathing on your own, the sedation will make you drowsy, reduce anxiety, and provide a sense of calm throughout the procedure.

- Minimum of 2 hours at $600/hour
- After 3 hours, the rate drops to $400/hour
- Billed in 15-minute increments for added flexibility
Payment Methods:
- We accept cash and checks.
- A 3% fee applies to credit card, HSA, or FSA payments.
