Sedation Dentistry

Join Thousands of Happy Patients ❤️

See why real patients love Comfort Dental Care & Orthodontics!
I love this dental office! I've had cleanings to implants done here and I have no complaints. Even my 2 sons go here again from cleanings to wisdom teeth out and just recently my autistic son who fears all needles had 5 fillings and 2 baby teeth pulled under oral sedation and it went great! All the people there are so friendly, caring and supporting of their patients needs!

Had a tooth implant loosen during the holiday. The staff was able to get me in the first day back and Dr. Vasquez as usual was awesome. No pain, quick procedure. Whole staff was very friendly and helpful! I don't stress going to the dentist anymore.

I recently got my teeth cleaned at Comfort Dental in Mary Esther and I have to say it was a very great experience! The staff was very friendly, professional, and I was in and out relatively quickly! I would highly recommend them for all your dental needs! My experience was by far better than I窶况e had at other Dentists!

Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?

Sedation dentistry at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics is extremely safe, and because we’re the only provider in the area with the credentials necessary to perform sleep dentistry, you know you’re in good hands. We utilize three types of sedation dentistry: laughing gas, IV sedation and oral sedation. We always carefully evaluate every patient’s medical history beforehand, which is why you can rest assured that sedation dentistry is a safe procedure.

How is Sedation Dentistry Performed?

Our team at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics ensures that every patient feels at ease from the moment they walk through our doors. Laughing gas is a popular choice for its dual role as a pain reliever and a calming agent. It is administered through a mask placed over the nose, allowing patients to breathe in the gas and experience a gentle, euphoric sensation.

This method is particularly beneficial for children and adults who may feel anxious about dental procedures, as it helps them remain calm and cooperative throughout the treatment.

IV Sedation Dentistry

Do you have any fear or anxiety about going to the dentist? Ideal for those patients who wish to combine a variety of intensive procedures into one visit, IV conscious sedation dentistry using an IV applied by an anesthesiologist is often the best choice in such cases.

During these procedures, patients may go back and forth between a conscious and unconscious state, and hours can start to feel like minutes. This method does have some lasting side effects following your procedure and patients will need an escort to return home.

Recovery from Sedation Dentistry

After your dental procedure is complete, we will turn off the laughing gas and let you breathe normally. This will flush any remaining gas out from out of your system, and you will become more alert and normal.

How Much Does Sedation Dentistry Cost?

Dental insurance may cover certain types of sedation dentistry. Check with your provider to see if it is covered by your plan. If you do not have dental insurance, Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics offers convenient financing options through CareCredit® and OrthoBanc® to help make sedation dentistry and related procedures more affordable.
