Sedation Dentistry in Tempe, AZ

At our Tempe office, dental anxiety is one of the most common phobias in the United States. Severe dental anxiety causes millions of people to avoid necessary dental care entirely, allowing conditions that could have been treated simply to progress until they require complex, painful, and costly intervention. Sedation dentistry exists to break this cycle — making dental care accessible for every patient, regardless of their anxiety level.

Nitrous oxide — commonly known as laughing gas — is inhaled through a small mask and produces a pleasant feeling of relaxation serving Tempe and surrounding areas. It wears off completely within minutes of removing the mask. Patients can drive themselves home after nitrous oxide sedation.

Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment, producing deeper relaxation. Most patients feel drowsy and may have limited or no memory of the procedure. Oral sedation requires a driver to bring you to and from the appointment.

Both forms of sedation allow us to complete more treatment in fewer appointments. You remain conscious and responsive throughout. We monitor your vital signs and maintain constant communication throughout the procedure.
