At Raleigh Dental Arts, we make it easy and comfortable to receive high-quality dental care. By offering sedation dentistry at our Raleigh, NC, dental office, we can help ease your fear or anxiety so you can get the important treatment you need.
Types of Sedation We Offer
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Inhaled through a small mask, nitrous oxide provides a relaxed sensation, ideal for mild to moderate anxiety. Its effects wear off quickly, allowing you to return to your usual routine shortly after your visit.
Oral Conscious Sedation
For moderate anxiety or complex procedures, oral sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative before your appointment to help you feel calm and relaxed. You'll remain conscious during your procedure but may not remember much. For your safety, we require that you arrange a driver to take you to and from your appointment.
IV Sedation
Administered intravenously, IV sedation offers a deeper level of sedation if you experience high anxiety or are having extensive dental work. Our team will closely monitor you throughout the procedure to ensure your safety. IV sedation also requires that you have a responsible adult to drive you home.
General Anesthesia
For patients with special needs or those undergoing complex procedures, we offer general anesthesia administered by an anesthesiologist at our office. This option ensures complete comfort and relaxation during your treatment.
