Sedation Dentistry
Relax Through Any Procedure With Sedation Dentistry From Sundance Dental And Orthodontics In Farmington NM
The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry:
- Patients who choose sedation dentistry can get the treatment they need without anxiety or stress.
- Sedation dentistry allows patients to relax through any procedure.
- Our sedation treatments can lower sensitivity and elevate comfort.
- Patients are awake, but many don’t even remember the procedure after it is completed.
At our practice, we primarily offer laughing gas and IV sedation, depending on the patient’s individual needs.
Laughing Gas Sedation
Laughing gas allows patients to achieve lighter sedation that will wear off quickly after the procedure is performed. Patients love laughing gas because it is a tried and true sedation method that has been used successfully for decades. Laughing gas is a safe, effective, and affordable way to relieve your dental anxiety and relax through any procedure.
IV Sedation
We also offer IV sedation for patients who want to achieve a deeper level of sedation. We administer our IV sedation before your appointment begins. IV sedation will allow you to achieve a deep, calming state of relaxation that will help make any procedure even more accessible.

Sedation dentistry uses prescribed medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. This ensures their comfort throughout the procedure, making it ideal for those with anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or more complex treatment needs.
The type depends on your treatment and comfort levels, but common options include IV sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), or oral sedation, which is taken at a time instructed by your dentist before the appointment for the procedure.
Under the control of trained professionals, dedication is a safe and effective tool used in modern dentistry. Your vital signs are monitored throughout the procedure, and pre-screenings during your consultation will determine the best and safest option for you.
The type and level of sedation you get will determine this. Nitrous oxide keeps you awake but relaxed, oral sedation can make you drowsy, and IV sedation can put you in a semi-conscious or sleep-like state, though you can often still respond to instructions.
Good candidates for sedation are determined by the dentist after observing your medical history. If you have dental fear, difficulty sitting still, or need sensitive work, sedation may be right for you.
