At our dental office in San Jose, we understand that dental anxiety is a common concern for millions of adults. This fear can be due to a negative experience or a general fear of dentistry. However, you do not have to be anxious when visiting our office because we offer sedation dentistry to ensure your comfort throughout your visit.

When you schedule an appointment with our dentists, inform us of your dental anxiety so that we can prepare accordingly. We offer various levels and types of sedation depending on the procedure and your preferences. Nitrous oxide or laughing gas is a common form of sedation that helps patients relax before a procedure. It is not a painkiller but rather eases fear and relaxes the body. It is safe for both children and adults and wears off quickly after the procedure.

For minor dental work, we may use a combination of nitrous oxide and localized pain medication. This approach numbs only the area being worked on, allowing you to eat immediately after the treatment while the numbing effect wears off. For more intensive procedures, IV medication or total sedation may be necessary or preferred, depending on your preference.

As your sedation dentist, we will discuss the recommended procedure and sedation options with you during your consultation. We will also consider any health issues or allergies you may have. Our goal is to ensure that you are well informed and make the best decision for your health and comfort.
