LOS ANGELES SEDATION DENTISTRY
We acknowledge that dental procedures can be challenging for some individuals, and certain patients may experience high levels of anxiety that make it difficult to undergo dental treatment. Additionally, there are specific procedures that are best performed under sedation due to their nature. To cater to these needs, we take pride in providing our patients with advanced sedation dentistry techniques in Los Angeles.
SEDATION DENTISTRY
Sleep dentistry, also known as sedation dentistry, involves the administration of sedatives before or during dental procedures to induce relaxation in patients, ensuring that the oral work can be completed without causing discomfort. These techniques have been utilized for over a century and are recognized as safe and effective.
Our dentists have undergone specialized training in sedation dentistry techniques, surpassing the standard education provided in dental school. When considering sedation dentistry, there are various options and levels of sedation available. Dr. Alireza Moshaverinia and Dr. Bosbe will evaluate your level of dental anxiety and overall requirements to help you select a comfortable and conservative form of sedation for your specific procedure.

SEDATION DENTISTRY
we offer several methods of sedation, including:
Oral sedation is a form of low-level sedation administered in pill form. It is commonly recommended for patients who experience needle phobia or mild anxiety when undergoing dental procedures. The process involves taking one pill the night before the procedure to facilitate comfortable sleep and another pill an hour prior to the scheduled procedure. Diazepam, triazolam, lorazepam, hydroxyzine, and zaleplon are some of the prescriptions used for oral sedation. The effects of oral sedation may vary depending on the dosage and specific prescription used.
Nitrous Oxide: Nitrous oxide sedation provides a slightly more intense level of sedation compared to oral sedation. The procedure involves placing a mask over the patient’s nose, allowing them to inhale the gas. The dentist can adjust the flow of gas to achieve the desired level of sedation for the patient’s optimal comfort. Once the procedure is complete, the patient receives pure oxygen to help them return to a normal state. Nitrous oxide also leaves patients feeling lighter and more carefree during the sedation process.
Intravenous Sedation: Intravenous sedation is the most potent form of sedation used for patients with strong dental anxieties or for invasive procedures. Although the patient remains conscious throughout the procedure, they have no memory of it afterward. Patients who choose IV sedation often describe the experience as feeling like they slept through the entire procedure.
