Sedation Dentistry in Oviedo, FL
Team of General Dentists and Dental Specialists.
Relax, You’re in Good Hands
We know that dental visits can cause anxiety for many patients. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry options designed to make your experience smooth, comfortable, and stress-free.
At Innovative Dental & Orthodontics, we provide:
- Inhalation Sedation (Nitrous Oxide): “Laughing gas” for relaxation during treatment.
- Oral Sedation (by prescription): Can be combined with nitrous oxide for a deeper level of calm.
Why Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is one of the safest and most effective forms of dental sedation. It helps patients feel calm, relaxed, and at ease while staying awake and able to communicate.
- Works quickly.
- Effects wear off within minutes after treatment.
- Safe for both adults and children.
- No need for an escort home — you can drive yourself afterward.
Combining Nitrous Oxide with Oral Sedation
For patients with higher levels of anxiety, we can prescribe an oral sedative to take before your appointment. When combined with nitrous oxide, this provides an even deeper sense of relaxation while still keeping the procedure safe and predictable.
How We Perform Inhalation Sedation
We use the Silhouette Nitrous Oxide Mask — a comfortable, well-fitting mask designed for efficient delivery and patient comfort. Here’s how it works:
- Oxygen First: We begin by administering 100% oxygen.
- Gentle Titration: Nitrous oxide is introduced gradually, and the level is adjusted until you feel calm and comfortable.
- During the Procedure: You remain relaxed yet responsive while we complete your treatment.
- Oxygen After: Once the procedure is complete, the nitrous oxide is turned off and you breathe 100% oxygen for five minutes.
- Quick Recovery: The effects wear off almost immediately, leaving no residual side effects.
Nitrous oxide truly is amazing — fast on, fast off, with a calm and positive experience throughout.
