Sedation Dentistry at Palm Beach Dental
At Palm Beach Dental, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent patients from seeking the care they need. That’s why we offer Sedation Dentistry options to ensure your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re feeling nervous about a routine procedure or undergoing more extensive dental work, our sedation options are designed to help you relax and feel at ease throughout your visit.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation (Happy Gas)
Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as “happy gas,” is a safe and effective option for patients who experience mild to moderate dental anxiety. This sedation method is administered through a small mask placed over your nose, allowing you to inhale the gas and quickly feel calm and relaxed. Here’s why Nitrous Oxide might be the right choice for you:
- Quick Onset and Recovery: The effects are felt within minutes and wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your daily activities soon after your appointment.
- Adjustable Levels: The level of sedation can be adjusted throughout your procedure to ensure maximum comfort.
- Safe and Non-Invasive: Nitrous Oxide is one of the safest sedation methods available and is suitable for both adults and children.
- Affordable Cost: Nitrous Oxide sedation starts from just $99.

For patients with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing complex procedures, Sleep Sedation Dentistry offers a deeper level of relaxation. This type of sedation is administered by a qualified professional, ensuring your safety and comfort. Here’s what you can expect with Sleep Sedation:

What Our Patients Are Saying
FAQ
What is Nitrous Oxide (Happy Gas) Sedation, and how does it work?
Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as “happy gas,” is a mild form of sedation administered through a mask placed over your nose. As you inhale the gas, it helps you feel calm and relaxed within minutes, making dental treatments more comfortable. The effects wear off quickly after the procedure, allowing you to resume your normal activities.
What is the difference between Nitrous Oxide and Sleep Sedation?
Nitrous Oxide is a lighter form of sedation that helps you relax during the procedure while remaining awake and aware. Sleep Sedation, on the other hand, is a deeper level of sedation that puts you into a sleep-like state. Sleep Sedation is ideal for patients with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing complex treatments.
Is Sedation Dentistry safe?
Yes, Sedation Dentistry is very safe. Both Nitrous Oxide and Sleep Sedation are administered by trained professionals, and your vital signs will be closely monitored throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.
Who is a good candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation Dentistry is suitable for patients who experience dental anxiety, have a low pain threshold, need extensive dental work, or have difficulty sitting still for long periods. Your dentist will discuss your medical history to determine the best sedation option for you.
How long does it take to recover from Sedation Dentistry?
Recovery time depends on the type of sedation used. Nitrous Oxide wears off quickly, allowing you to drive home and resume your activities shortly after the procedure. Sleep Sedation, however, may require a longer recovery time, and you’ll need someone to accompany you home after the treatment.
How much does Sedation Dentistry cost?
At Palm Beach Dental, Nitrous Oxide (Happy Gas) starts from $99, while Sleep Sedation is available from $599 per hour. We also offer flexible payment plans to make your treatment more affordable.
