Sedation Dentistry in Oviedo
We know that dental visits can cause anxiety for many patients. That's why Innovative Dental & Orthodontics offers sedation dentistry options designed to make your experience smooth, comfortable, and stress-free—including inhalation sedation (nitrous oxide) and oral sedation by prescription.
Relax, You're in Good Hands
We offer inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide—“laughing gas” for relaxation during treatment—and oral sedation by prescription, which can be combined with nitrous oxide for a deeper level of calm.
For patients with higher levels of anxiety, an oral sedative taken before your appointment, combined with nitrous oxide, provides an even deeper sense of relaxation while keeping the procedure safe and predictable.
Why Nitrous Oxide?
Works Quickly
Nitrous oxide takes effect within minutes of breathing through the mask.
Wears Off Fast
The effects wear off within minutes after treatment, with no residual side effects.
Safe for All Ages
Nitrous oxide has been safely used in dentistry for decades and is safe for both adults and children.
No Escort Needed
With nitrous oxide alone, there's no need for an escort—you can drive yourself home afterward.
How We Perform Inhalation Sedation
We use the Silhouette Nitrous Oxide Mask—a comfortable, well-fitting mask designed for efficient delivery and patient comfort.
1. Oxygen First
We begin by administering 100% oxygen.
2. Gentle Titration
Nitrous oxide is introduced gradually and adjusted until you feel calm and comfortable.
3. During the Procedure
You remain relaxed yet responsive while we complete your treatment.
4. Oxygen After
The nitrous oxide is turned off and you breathe 100% oxygen for five minutes.
5. Quick Recovery
The effects wear off almost immediately, leaving no residual side effects.
