Sedation Dentistry – Dental Anxienty San Diego
Dental sedation is a technique that can be used when a patient suffers from dental anxiety or dental phobia. We are happy to offer a number of solutions for our patients to make their dental visit as comfortable as possible.
Sedation dentistry techniques enable patients who might otherwise avoid the dentist, to receive dental treatment necessary for a healthy smile. Depending on the extent of the anxiety or phobia, varying degrees of dental sedation can be utilized as described below.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous Oxide sedation, also known as “laughing gas” is commonly used to make treatment more comfortable. This sedation is inhaled through a mask that allows you to breathe in the medication and induces a state of relaxation. Local anesthetic will be administered in conjunction with nitrous oxide to eliminate pain.
Oral Sedatives
This medication can be given to a patient the night before a dentistry procedure or 30 minutes to an hour prior to the dental appointment, depending on the severity of the anxiety. Oral sedatives do not provide pain relief, so an injection of local anesthetic will also be administered.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation
IV Sedation provides relaxation medication through a small needle inserted in your hand or arm. Like oral sedatives, IV sedation does not provide pain relief, so a local anesthetic will also be administered. Intravenous sedation allows patients to be awake but in an extreme state of relaxation with little or no pain.

I just left the office and may I say this was the best dental visit I’ve had in a long time. Dr. Aras It was very professional and explained everything before doing it. I had a very bad cavity which he was able to repair. I think his new nickname should be doctor painless. The staff and everyone at this dental office was professional courteous and very kind. I highly recommend going to this Dental office.

I can’t say that I really wanted one but mine was expertly done. Marco and Dr Wiseman (Wisewoman actually) are a great team. Both have strong but gentle hands.

I was referred to visit this dental office by a friend of mine who is a patient here. My first impression was super friendly stuff and friendly doctors. Everybody welcomed me like I am a family member of them. Dr. Hamit Aras is the coolest dentist I have ever met. I had 5 fillings and one crown. Dr. Aras is using all king of latest technology to make sure I receive the best results. His skills are so great that I didn’t feel any pain during and after the treatment. Their appointment system works great too. They are sending reminder e-mails and text messages for the appointment time and dates. I recommend this dental office to everyone.

I’m new to this office. I read the reviews before I decided to make my appointment. the staff is just so kind and so helpful. I was made to feel like ode been part of this office long term. My experience with Dr Aras has been wonderful. He’s very informative without “selling” you on future care. He has great advice and I have found my new dentist and his crew!

Always a great process from appointment setting, to appointment confirmation/updates. In my 7 years of going never had to wait more than a few minutes to be called in for my cleanings. Have had a few fillings and an emergency chipped tooth that they took me in same day. Best dentist office I’ve experienced and will always my business and referrals. All the staff is amazing and I always look forward to my cleanings with Richard as well.
