Sedation Dentistry Pasadena, MD

Dental anxiety affects many people and can sometimes prevent patients from seeking the care they need. At Sunrise Dental Studio in Pasadena, Maryland, Dr. Afshin Nateghi and our team understand how stressful a dental visit can feel, and we offer sedation dentistry options to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable. Whether you need a routine cleaning or a more involved restorative procedure, sedation can help make your experience more manageable.

Our office provides two primary sedation options to accommodate different levels of anxiety and different types of procedures. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is inhaled through a small mask during your visit and wears off within minutes, allowing you to drive yourself home afterward. Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment, producing a deeper state of relaxation while you remain conscious. Each option has its own benefits, and Dr. Nateghi will help you determine which is most appropriate for your needs.

Sedation dentistry is not only helpful for patients with dental anxiety. It can also benefit those who have a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still for extended periods, or heightened sensitivity. If you have been postponing dental work because of fear or discomfort, sedation may allow you to receive the treatments you need in a way that feels safe and supported.
