Moderate Sedation Dentistry in San Diego, CA


What is Moderate Sedation Dentistry?
Moderate sedation dentistry offers a solution for patients with dental anxiety, allowing them to receive treatment while in a relaxed, comfortable state. Unlike general anesthesia, you remain conscious but deeply relaxed, with little memory of the procedure afterward.
At our San Diego dental office, we offer both oral sedation and IV sedation options, carefully tailored to each patient’s needs and anxiety level. Our highly skilled dentist and team monitors you throughout your procedure, ensuring your complete safety and comfort.

Yes, sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by a qualified professional. We carefully monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your well-being.
The level of sedation varies depending on the type used.
- With nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, you’ll be relaxed but awake and able to respond to instructions.
- IV sedation can induce a deeper state of relaxation where you may not remember the procedure, but you’ll still be able to breathe on your own and respond to stimuli.
Your dentist will provide specific instructions based on the type of sedation you’ll receive. Generally, you should:
- Avoid eating or drinking for a certain period before the procedure.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
