For those with dental anxiety, sedation dentistry is a perfect solution to make your visit easier and more comfortable. Oral sedation involves taking a pill to help you feel calm and relaxed before your appointment, while nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) can be used in combination to further reduce any anxiety. If deeper sedation is needed, we also offer IV sedation, which takes effect almost instantly, providing a greater level of relaxation and comfort. These options allow Dr. Hayut to perform a variety of dental treatments, from cleanings to more complex procedures, in a way that’s comfortable and virtually stress-free. You’ll feel as though time passed quickly, and often won’t remember the treatment at all.

​

Sedation dentistry can help you receive the care you need, whether it’s for a routine visit or a dental emergency. Don't let anxiety prevent you from seeking essential dental treatments.

If you’ve been delaying dental treatment due to fear, contact us today at 972-335-7777. We’re here to help you maintain your oral health in a relaxing and stress-free environment.

​​Sedation Dentistry FAQs

​​​​​

​Does dental insurance cover sedation dentistry?
In most cases, dental insurance does not cover sedation dentistry.

While some plans may partially cover certain sedation types,

it is best to contact your dental insurance provider directly to inquire about your specific coverage.

​

Can I request sedation for my dental treatment?
Absolutely! If you're feeling anxious about your procedure, feel free to ask Dr. Hayut about sedation options. We offer a variety of sedation choices, and we’re here to help you decide which one is right for you.

​

Does dental insurance cover IV sedation?
Typically, dental insurance doesn’t cover IV sedation. However, certain cases, such as for older patients or those with disabilities, may allow you to submit a request to your insurance. Contact your provider to learn more about your coverage for sedation dentistry.

​

Will I feel pain with sedation dentistry?
No, sedation dentistry is designed to eliminate pain and discomfort. With sedation, your treatment is virtually painless, and Dr. Hayut will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure.

​

What should I expect after sedation dentistry?
After your procedure, we will give you time to relax and recover from the sedation. You may feel groggy for a few hours, but you should be able to return to normal activities the same day. If you were sedated, it’s important to have someone with you for transportation home.

​

Is sedation the same as local anesthesia?
No, sedation dentistry is used to relax you mentally and physically, while local anesthesia numbs the area being treated. Sedation and anesthesia work together to ensure a pain-free experience.

​

How does it feel to be under sedation?
You may feel relaxed, groggy, or even a little giddy depending on the type of sedation. The experience varies for each person, but the key takeaway is that you will feel calm and at ease during your treatment.

​

How long does conscious sedation stay in your system?
Conscious sedation usually stays in your system for about two hours. It’s important to arrange reliable transportation to and from your appointment, as you may still feel the effects after your procedure.

​

Will sedation make me fall asleep?
Many people associate IV sedation with being "put to sleep," but that’s not entirely accurate. While IV sedation deeply relaxes you, it doesn’t put you into a full sleep. You remain conscious throughout the procedure, but you’re in a deeply relaxed state, so you may not be aware of the details of the treatment. You may feel like you’re in a dream-like state or even unaware of time passing, but you’ll still be responsive if needed. It’s designed to make your experience comfortable and free of anxiety, so you can undergo dental treatments without distress.

The Importance of Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry plays a vital role in helping patients overcome dental anxiety, manage pain, and enhance the overall treatment experience. For many people, dental anxiety is a significant barrier to seeking care, but sedation provides a safe and effective way to manage that fear. By promoting reduced anxiety and fear, sedation allows patients to feel relaxed and at ease during their dental appointments.

​

In addition to reducing anxiety, sedation dentistry increases comfort, particularly for those with sensitive gag reflexes or difficulty sitting still for extended periods. It ensures that you remain calm and cooperative, enabling our team to perform procedures with precision and efficiency. Sedation also helps with pain management, making treatments more tolerable for patients who may experience discomfort or sensitivity.

Finally, by improving patient relaxation and cooperation, sedation dentistry enhances the overall treatment outcomes. It allows Dr. Anna Hayut and our team to perform dental procedures more effectively while minimizing patient discomfort and stress, ensuring you get the best possible results in a comfortable, calm environment.
