If sitting in the dental chair makes you anxious, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to endure it. At Kyle Parkway Dentistry, your comfort is our top priority. We offer a range of safe and effective sedation dentistry options designed to help you stay calm, comfortable, and stress-free throughout your visit. Whether your anxiety is mild or more intense, we’ll personalize your care to ensure a worry-free experience.
Why Consider Sedation Dentistry?
Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons people skip important treatments. Whether it's fear of pain, past trauma, or general unease, sedation dentistry allows you to relax while getting the care you need—without stress.
It’s an excellent option for patients who:
- Experience dental phobia or high levels of anxiety
- Need extensive or multiple treatments in a single visit
- Have a sensitive gag reflex or trouble staying still
- Have had negative dental experiences in the past
With sedation options ranging from light relaxation to deeper sedation, we ensure each appointment feels smooth and manageable.
Compounded Topical Anesthetics
If fear of needles has kept you from visiting the dentist, we have a gentle solution. We use custom-compounded, prescription-strength topical anesthetics that are significantly stronger than the typical gels used in most dental offices.
Dr. Dholariya has developed a specialized protocol using warm anesthetics and carefully honed techniques that make most injections virtually pain-free—perfect for patients with needle sensitivity or anxiety.
This small yet powerful step helps patients feel confident and at ease—even before the actual procedure begins.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide offers a mild and safe form of sedation that takes the edge off anxiety during dental treatment. You simply breathe it in through a small nasal mask, and within minutes, you’ll feel more relaxed and at ease.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide:
- Gentle and well-tolerated by both kids and adults
- Takes effect quickly and wears off just as fast
- You can drive yourself home after your appointment
- Ideal for shorter or less complex procedures
Cost of Nitrous Oxide:
Nitrous sedation typically ranges from $200 to $300, depending on the duration of your treatment. PPO insurance coverage varies based on your employer’s plan agreement.
IV Sedation
For patients with significant dental anxiety or those undergoing long, involved procedures, IV sedation provides deep relaxation. Delivered intravenously, this form of sedation places you in a semi-conscious state—you’ll remain awake but deeply relaxed, and often won’t remember the procedure afterward.
What to Expect with IV Sedation:
- Immediate effect and easy to adjust during treatment
- You’ll feel as though time has passed quickly
- Continuous monitoring for your safety
- A companion is required to drive you home
Cost of IV Sedation:
IV sedation generally starts at $150–$250 per 15-minute increment. PPO insurance may or may not cover part of the cost depending on your individual plan.
