What is sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. At Iconic Dental, we focus on treating patients who experience severe dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or complex medical conditions that make traditional dental visits challenging.

From mild sedation to full general anesthesia, we offer a full spectrum of sedation options to ensure each patient receives the safest, most comfortable experience possible.

With in-house anesthesiologists and years of expertise in medically complex cases, our practice is uniquely equipped to serve those who have been turned away from traditional offices. Sedation dentistry allows our patients to receive the care they need comfortably, confidently, and often in fewer visits.

The benefits of sedation dentistry

Comfort for patients with dental anxiety

Sedation helps ease fear, anxiety, and stress, allowing even the most phobic patients to receive care without discomfort or panic.

Safer care for special needs or medically complex patients

For patients with disabilities, sensory processing disorders, or complex medical conditions, sedation ensures a safe, controlled environment where treatment can be completed without trauma or risk.

More care in fewer visits

Sedation allows our team to complete more work in a single visit, reducing the number of appointments needed and simplifying care for patients who struggle with repeated visits.

Our sedation treatments

Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)

This mild sedative is ideal for patients with minor dental anxiety. Nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask, providing a sense of relaxation during the procedure. It wears off quickly after the visit, allowing patients to resume normal activities without downtime.

Oral sedation

For moderate anxiety or longer procedures, oral sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation. Patients take a prescribed medication before their appointment, helping them remain calm and at ease throughout their treatment. This method may cause drowsiness, and a companion is needed to drive the patient home.

IV sedation

Intravenous sedation provides a deeper level of conscious sedation for patients with high anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or medical challenges. Delivered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation allows for precise control of sedation depth and is administered by our licensed anesthesia providers.

General anesthesia

For the most complex cases—patients with special needs, trauma histories, or advanced surgical needs—general anesthesia is available onsite at our surgery center. Patients are fully asleep, and all care is completed by our team alongside a licensed anesthesiologist and nursing staff.

The sedation dentistry process

1

Consultation and medical history review

We begin with a detailed conversation about your concerns, past experiences, and medical history. This allows us to recommend the safest and most effective sedation option for your unique needs.

2

Personalized sedation plan

After reviewing your options, our team designs a customized plan to align with your comfort level and the type of dental work you need. We’ll also provide detailed pre-appointment instructions to prepare you for your visit.

3

Day of procedure

On the day of your appointment, your sedation is administered by our experienced team. Whether it’s nitrous oxide, oral medication, IV sedation, or general anesthesia, we monitor your comfort and safety closely throughout the entire procedure.

4

Post-treatment recovery and support

After your visit, we’ll guide you through a safe and smooth recovery process. Most patients return home the same day with minimal downtime and receive thorough post-op instructions for continued healing.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by trained professionals. At Iconic Dental, all sedation and anesthesia services are overseen by licensed anesthesiologists and registered nurses, ensuring the highest level of care.

It depends on your level of anxiety, medical history, and the type of dental procedure. We offer everything from light sedation with nitrous oxide to full general anesthesia, and we’ll work with you to choose the best option for your comfort and safety.

With most types of sedation, you’ll feel deeply relaxed, and many patients don’t remember the procedure at all. For general anesthesia, you’ll be completely asleep and won’t feel anything during treatment.

Dr. Jasmyne was professional, kind, and caring. She provided me with my incredible “New Teeth In A Day." All I can say is WOW! As promised, I left my appointment with a beautiful set of teeth. I haven’t been able to truly smile in years. Thank you so much, Dr. Jasmyne.

Dr. Radeka walked me through the options and treatment. What I really appreciated was that I was given prices before agreeing to anything so, no surprise charges. The procedure itself was great too. I don’t have much dental anxiety at all, I actually enjoy it, but if someone did I can say they would feel comfortable. Everything is talked about and explained meticulously. I was offered a blanket and they have screens for you to watch relaxing things. My tooth was extracted in less than 10 minutes with zero pain. The care given here is phenomenal.

I’ve always avoided the dentist due to my anxiety. Dr. Jasmyne helped me overcome that fear so that I could finally receive the beautiful dental implants I needed. I couldn’t be happier with my new smile.

Service: 5 stars! I love the crew and Dr. Radeka is an excellent dentist. I will be hard pressed to find a better dentist in town for sure.

We are a family of “dental professionals” and I can say without reservation that Dr. Toal is a consummate professional. Dr. Toal’s practice treats many patients with underlying health conditions—patients that other dentists can not or will not treat. In addition to her expertise, Dr. Toal has heart. She cares about her patients, while striving for the best possible outcome. Dr. Toal listens attentively and crafts a treatment plan that at times can be both complicated and arduous. Like every other business sticking it out through Covid, Dr. Toal has had typical staffing challenges. But she has long time employees and associates who contribute to her success including her anesthesiologist who has worked by her side for over 20-years. I recommend Dr. Toal without reservation.

Dr. Toal is the best dentist anywhere. She works beautifully with patients with advanced & complicated needs. She uses the most advanced equipment and understands patients with dental fears. Her office is extremely clean and sanitized. She never will rush through procedures. Likewise, you never have to wait for your appointment. She doesn’t over book appointments.

She also assists with your vitamin and nutritional needs, knowing that those affect your dental and other health problems.

Simply said, she is the BEST and always keeps your best interest first.
