Finding the Right Level of Sedation
Not every patient needs the same level of sedation. Some just need to take the edge off with nitrous oxide, while others facing a longer or more involved procedure benefit from oral sedation or IV sedation. Our Albuquerque team walks you through each option so you can choose what feels right for you.
Whether your anxiety comes from a past bad experience, a sensitive gag reflex, or simply not knowing what to expect, sedation dentistry gives you a way to get the care you need without dreading the appointment.
Who Sedation Dentistry Is For
Sedation dentistry helps patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still for long procedures, or a history of avoiding the dentist altogether. It's also commonly used for more involved treatment like wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, or multiple procedures done in a single visit.
