Relax With Soothing Sedation 

We want to help you enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile, and we want to do it in the most comfortable way possible. Our dedicated team will always take time to explain your dental care and make sure you're fully informed. We'll answer all your questions, so there aren't any surprises.

We know that some patients need a little extra help getting comfortable, so we offer you a choice of sedation options:

  • Inhaled Sedation - This is our mildest form of sedation. You'll breathe in laughing gas through a small mask over your nose. In moments, it will begin to give you a sense of calm and euphoria, and dental care will no longer bother you. Best of all, the effects diminish quickly once the gas is removed. You'll be able to drive yourself home and resume normal activities right away.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation - This method of sedation may be just what you need for more intense dental anxiety. Dr. Despain will prescribe a small pill for you to take ahead of your appointment. By the time you treatment starts, you'll feel completely relaxed and at ease. You may even become groggy. You'll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment with this type of sedation.
  • IV Sedation - Our deepest level of sedation works well for patients who suffer from intense dental phobia or who are undergoing lengthy procedures. We'll administer a sedative intravenously that will put you in a sleeplike state. You won't experience any of the sensations of your procedure, and you won't remember much about your dental care afterward.

Our Gentle Treatment Will Put You at Ease

We go beyond sedation to create a truly tranquil healing space. You can take advantage of several amenities:

  • Soft pillows for head and neck support
  • Cozy blankets to keep you warm
  • Headphones to listen to your favorite music while we work

Our team explains every treatment step clearly beforehand, eliminating surprises and uncertainty. We follow your rhythm and continuously monitor how you're feeling, adjusting our approach as needed for your maximum comfort.

Let us help you with relieving dental anxiety in Moses Lake.

Commonly Asked Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

Can you help with relieving dental anxiety?
Our team has extensive experience helping patients overcome their anxious feelings so they can receive the dental care they need. We have created a calming environment to help you relax. We also use patient-friendly technology and techniques to speed your treatment and keep discomfort at a minimum. For example, our dental laser helps you avoid the need for incisions and stitching.
Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?

Before your appointment, we suggest visualizing a positive experience and practicing deep breathing exercises. You can also visit our office at a quiet time, when other patients may not be around. Ask us about this option when you call us to make your appointment. Share any concerns you have with us beforehand. We can even establish a signal for you to use to indicate if you need a break.

Can sedation dentistry help me catch up on neglected dental work? 

Absolutely. Sedation dentistry is perfect for patients who have avoided dental care due to anxiety and need multiple treatments. We can often complete several procedures in one comfortable session, helping you catch up on cleanings, fillings, or other necessary work efficiently while you remain relaxed and pain-free throughout the extended appointment.
