Our highly trained doctors create a welcoming, supportive environment so you can feel at ease from start to finish. Whether you need mild relaxation or deep sedation, we’ll find the best option for you.

Who can benefit from sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is an excellent solution for patients who:

  • Experience dental anxiety or fear

  • Have a strong gag reflex

  • Require multiple or lengthy procedures

  • Have difficulty getting numb with local anesthesia

  • Have special needs that make dental care challenging

If you’ve been avoiding the dentist due to fear or discomfort, sedation dentistry can help you take control of your oral health with confidence.

Sedation options at Turlock Dental Care

Laughing gas

Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is a mild sedative inhaled through a mask, providing a calming effect while keeping you awake and responsive. It wears off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities right after your appointment.

IV sedation

IV sedation provides deeper relaxation, allowing you to rest comfortably during your procedure. This option is ideal for patients with severe anxiety or those undergoing complex treatments. Our trained doctors carefully monitor and adjust the sedation levels for your safety and comfort.

Overcoming dental anxiety for better health

Avoiding dental care due to fear can lead to serious oral health issues. With sedation dentistry, you can take care of your teeth without stress, knowing you’re in expert hands. Our team is committed to creating a comfortable experience so you can feel confident about your dental care.
