Embrace a Stress-Free Visit with Sedation Dentistry
As part of our emphasis on caring for your comfort, we offer sedation dentistry. Conscious sedation dentistry allows you to do necessary treatments while relaxed with either laughing gas or oral sedation. This method of moderate sedation helps you feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures while still being aware enough to follow instructions. It is especially effective for longer procedures and for patients with a strong gag reflex. This option is a perfect cure for dental anxiety or if dentist appointments are uncomfortable for you.
If you are anxious, fearful, or apprehensive about visiting the dentist, or dental treatment causes you significant discomfort or stress, you might have dental anxiety.
Dental anxiety can lead to avoidance of dental appointments, neglecting necessary treatments, and compromised oral health. The fear and stress associated with dental visits can cause significant emotional distress,
At Elite Dental Aesthetics in Reno, we offer a solution that alleviates anxiety and transforms your dental experience: sedation dentistry. With our expertly administered sedation techniques, we provide a relaxed and comfortable environment, ensuring a stress-free journey to optimal oral health.

Types of Sedation we Offer
At Elite Dental Aesthetics, we offer a variety of sedation options to ensure patient comfort during dental procedures. The type of sedation recommended depends on your anxiety level, medical history, and the complexity of the treatment. These include:
Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide)
Laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide, is a safe and effective sedation option that induces a sense of relaxation and ease during dental procedures. To administer laughing gas, we use a small and comfortable breathing mask.
Inhaling this odorless gas, you’ll feel a calming sensation, allowing you to remain conscious and responsive while minimizing anxiety and discomfort. Our experienced team carefully monitors and adjusts the level of nitrous oxide to ensure your comfort throughout the entire dental procedure.
Laughing gas is a fairly light sedation option. You will be able to hold a conversation with your dentist throughout the process. After your procedure is finished you are most often able to drive your car home and hold a normal conversation, making it a great option for a busy day.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation for individuals with moderate to severe dental anxiety, or with an intense gag reflex. A prescribed medication is taken prior to your appointment, which induces a state of relaxation and drowsiness.
Under oral sedation, you’ll remain conscious but experience a heightened sense of tranquility, making dental treatments more manageable and stress-free. Our dental professionals will monitor your vital signs and ensure your safety and well-being throughout the entire process.
You may feel sleepy after you take oral sedation, and some patients fall asleep. We do not recommend driving after using oral sedation. Oral conscious sedation is very helpful for those that may not be able to do dental work without sedative assistance.
