At Signature Smiles of LA, we know that not everyone loves coming to the dentist. That’s exactly why we offer sedation dentistry in Encino: to make your dental visits feel easier, calmer, and more manageable.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses safe, proven techniques to help patients relax during dental treatment. Depending on your needs, we may recommend nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Nitrous oxide is ideal for mild anxiety — fast-acting, wears off quickly, and allows you to drive yourself home. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment for deep relaxation.
These methods are especially useful for patients with dental anxiety or fear, those with a strong gag reflex, individuals needing multiple procedures in one visit, children or adults with special healthcare needs, or anyone who simply wants a more relaxing experience.
Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?
During your first visit, we’ll review your health history and talk through your concerns. We take a conservative approach — you’ll never be pressured into something you don’t need.
