Enjoy Easy Dental Care With Sedation

The last thing we want is for you to feel tense and worked up during your dental visit. We're sure you'd rather feel relaxed and at ease than nervous. To help you get the most out of your smile care, we offer a choice of dental sedation options. With sedation, you'll completely relax in the dental chair and let your worries float away. We've helped many patients through their dental anxiety and would love to do the same for you.

You can take your pick from the following sedation methods:

  • Laughing Gas - This sweet-smelling gas will give you an all-over sense of euphoria and well-being after you breathe it in. You may even experience a tingly sensation over your body as you comfortably lie back without any cares.
  • A Small Pill - Before your appointment, you'll take an FDA-approved pill which Dr. Despain will prescribe for you. It will help you completely relax and unwind in the dental chair.
  • IV Sedation - If you want to be blissfully unaware of anything around you, IV sedation should be your choice. You'll be in a twilight state and won't remember much about your procedure after you wake up.

You'll also find comforting patient amenities to help you relax and feel at home:

  • Warm blankets to chase away the chill
  • Soft pillows to support your neck
  • Headphones so you can lose yourself in music

Your Appointments Go Smoothly With Sedation

Whichever sedation option is right for you, you will appreciate that it is a simple process. Here is what you can expect:

  • Dr. Despain will review your medical history with you to determine which sedation is right for you.
  • For laughing gas, you simply breathe in the nitrous oxide through a mask. It acts fast and fades quickly.
  • For oral sedation, you'll take the sedative beforehand. You feel completely at ease by the time your treatment begins. You'll still be responsive to instructions and commands we give you.
  • For IV sedation, you will come into our office and receive general anesthesia from a professional anesthetist. While you are asleep, we will complete your dental procedure.
  • With IV sedation or oral sedation, you'll need to arrange for a ride home from a friend or family member. These sedative effects typically last several hours. With laughing gas, you can drive home comfortably.

I wasn’t raised with the best dental hygiene, and over the years I’ve had just about every bad dental experience you can imagine. I’ve always related to the saying, “what can go wrong, will go wrong” when it came to dentist visits. My mouth isn’t in the best shape, and I have extremely high dental anxiety — to the point that I’ve actually passed out many times during procedurs. Because of that, it’s been really hard to keep up with or even try to fix the mess I felt stuck with. Recently, a tooth that was already broken lost another corner, leaving me with basically half a tooth. While waiting for that appointment, a cavity on the other side of my mouth popped out, again what can go wrong will go wrong.I was terrified about the upcoming procedure because putting me under usually costs too much — and that’s the only way I’ve ever been able to get through treatment. But the oral sedation they used was amazing. For the first time ever, I felt like I was actually part of my dental care without being fully aware of every detail. The team was kind, gentle, and patient. I got same-day crowns that look fantastic, and when I see them, I actually want to smile. For someone like me, who’s always dreaded the dentist, this was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had. I finally have hope for my future dental health, and I’m so grateful to this team for giving me that.

I took my husband here for major dental work under sedation. This was FINALLY a good dental experience for him. With his high anxiety towards dentists due to terrible past experiences, he was made to feel at ease at Skyview Dental. They were calm, patient, and understanding of his fears....

With his high anxiety towards dentists due to terrible past experiences, he was made to feel at ease at Skyview Dental. They were calm, patient, and understanding of his fears. Instructions were easy to handle and they really did a great job listening to his concerns and fears and did everything they could to make him as comfortable as possible. We will definitely be coming back here for future dental work.
