Sedation Dentistry in Chanhassen & Chaska, MN for Stress-Free Dental Visits

Relaxed Options for Every Anxiety Level

Every patient is not at the same level of anxiety, and that is why we provide a variety of options for dental sedation. If you feel only mild tension or anxiety, nitrous oxide sedation will typically be the best choice. Also referred to as laughing gas, it works quickly to relax you and has the same quick recovery time, so you can resume your day right away.

If you need something a bit stronger than a light sedative, we also offer oral conscious sedation. This involves taking a prescribed tablet before you come in and then relaxing while still conscious.

We Take Time to Hear You Out

Before we recommend any kind of sedation, we sit with you to know your health history, how anxious you are, and the kind of procedure you are going for. We are patient and patient-centered. Haste makes waste; we make sure that you know everything and are comfortable with your plan of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help you feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. It’s especially helpful for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or complex treatments.
2What types of sedation do you offer?
We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation. These options are safe, effective, and tailored to your needs and the complexity of your procedure.
3Is sedation safe for children or older adults?
Yes. Sedation is safely administered to patients of all ages. Our team carefully reviews your health history and monitors you throughout the process to ensure your safety.
4Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?
Not quite. With oral sedation or nitrous oxide, you’ll be awake but deeply relaxed. You’ll still be able to respond to instructions, but you may feel drowsy or not remember much afterward.
5Do I need someone to drive me home after sedation?
If you receive oral sedation, yes—you’ll need someone to drive you home. However, if you choose nitrous oxide alone, the effects usually wear off quickly and driving afterward may be okay (we’ll let you know at your appointment).
