What is Sedation Dentistry

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is ideal for anyone with dental anxiety, those undergoing lengthy procedures, or individuals with a low pain threshold. Our practice offers two primary forms of sedation, nitrous oxide and intravenous sedation. Those options allow our dentist to tailor the sedation level to your specific needs and the complexity of your treatment. Over 60% of patients who have used sedation report a more positive dental experience overall.

The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Reduced Anxiety

Sedation helps anxious patients feel calm and genuinely relaxed during dental visits, which makes care possible for people who have avoided it for a great many years.

Pain Management

Comfort increases considerably during procedures, which matters a great deal for anyone with a low pain threshold or who struggles with local anesthesia alone.

Time Efficiency

Multiple procedures can be completed in a single visit under sedation, so you spend far less total time in the chair and fewer days away from work over the year.

Minimized Gagging

A strong gag reflex becomes much easier to manage under sedation, which lets patients tolerate the treatments that would otherwise be difficult to complete.

Our Step-by-Step Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Initial Consultation

    Our expert dentist reviews your medical history and discusses which of the sedation options best suits your treatment and your comfort level.

  2. 02

    Appointment Preparation

    We provide clear instructions on how to prepare for your sedation appointment, including anything that you should avoid on the day beforehand.

  3. 03

    Sedation Administration

    Our certified dentists administer the chosen form of sedation, whether that happens to be nitrous oxide or intravenous sedation instead.

  4. 04

    Continuous Monitoring

    Your vital signs are closely monitored throughout the entire procedure, so that your safety is never once left to chance while in our chair.

  5. 05

    Guided Recovery

    We make certain that you are fully recovered before you head home, and you leave our office with a clear set of written aftercare instructions.

Signs You May Need Sedation Dentistry

Dental Anxiety

You experience real dental anxiety or a genuine phobia that has kept you out of the dental chair for a good deal longer than you would like.

Lengthy Procedures

You require a complex or lengthy dental procedure, and staying comfortable in the chair for all of that time is a real concern on your mind.

Sensitive Gag

A sensitive gag reflex makes routine treatment difficult for you, and even a simple set of routine X-rays can be a real challenge to complete.

Anesthesia Struggles

Local anesthesia alone has not been quite enough for you in the past, or you would rather have several treatments completed in fewer visits.

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “My daughters love going to the dentist! Tatiana is always so kind and patient with my 9 year old who could get a little nervous while getting her X-rays. Tatiana takes the time to explain that it’s only a picture and it won’t hurt. We always look forward to seeing all the friendly faces at this dental office! :) I need to edit my review. My daughters are patients here, but I’ve recently had to go in for a couple of appointments for my self and let me say that I’m not afraid of the dentist anymore 😂 I saw Dr. Nathan and he was soooo incredibly kind and caring did not feel him numbing me at all. He listened to all my concerns and took care of what I needed! Amazing bedside manner! That’s a huge plus for me. His assistant Tatiana was also amazing she had everything ready for the doctor, she explained everything step by step which made me feel very comfortable while sitting on the chair with my mouth wide open. I also needed a deep cleaning and the hygienist Jenny was so detailed and patient with working with me, really good bedside manner. She kept asking if I needed a break and making sure I was still numb. My teeth feel nice and clean now! Amazing experience from everyone!!! Thank you Gardena Dental Group.” — Alejandra

With my newly aquired jobs dental benefits & a problem with some loose teeth, I was dealing with I had to give this place a try since it is very close to where I live.

You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (310) 366-7666.

What types of sedation do you offer?

Our practice offers nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, and intravenous sedation. Our dentist recommends the option that fits your anxiety level and the procedure.

Will I be unconscious during treatment?

Sedation helps you relax deeply rather than putting you fully under. Many patients remember very little about the procedure afterward.

Do I need someone to drive me home?

Yes, intravenous sedation requires that someone escort you to and from the appointment. Drowsiness can last for several hours after your visit.

How much does sedation dentistry in Gardena, CA, cost?

The cost depends on which form of sedation you choose and how long your procedure runs. Our team reviews the full fee with you before your appointment.

Does insurance cover sedation dentistry in Gardena, CA?

Some plans cover sedation when it is medically necessary, though coverage varies considerably. Our front office verifies your benefits and explains what applies.
