Your Sedation Options in Edmond, OK
Not all dental anxiety is the same, and neither are our sedation options. We match the method to your comfort level and treatment plan.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is our most frequently used sedation method and is complimentary with any treatment. You breathe it in through a small mask, feel calm within minutes, and remain fully conscious throughout. The effects wear off quickly, so most patients drive themselves home the same day. Nitrous is a popular choice for patients visiting our Edmond office for routine cleanings, fillings, and other shorter procedures.
Oral Sedation
About an hour before your appointment, you take a prescribed pill that we provide. By the time you sit down, you will feel deeply relaxed and may drift in and out of sleep while still being able to respond to instructions. Oral sedation is ideal for moderate to severe anxiety or for patients who want to accomplish more in a single visit. You will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
IV Sedation
IV sedation delivers medication directly into the bloodstream for rapid, precisely controlled relaxation. Dr. Brooks can adjust the level throughout the procedure, making it well suited for dental implants, full-arch restorations, and extensive cosmetic work. Patients who have put off complex dental work due to fear often find that IV sedation allows them to complete treatment they have been avoiding for years. Most patients remember little to nothing afterward. A responsible adult must drive you home.
Who Is a Good Candidate
for Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is a good fit for a wide range of patients. You may benefit from sedation if you:

- Have a strong gag reflex
- Need multiple procedures completed in one appointment

- Have sensitive teeth
- Have postponed care due to past negative experiences
Dr. Brooks will review your health history during your consultation to recommend the safest and most effective option for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Sedation Dentistry
Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?
Yes. All three methods are well established in dentistry. Dr. Brooks monitors your vitals throughout, and the type and dosage are tailored to your health history and treatment plan.
How Do I Know Which Sedation Option Is Right for Me?
It depends on your anxiety level, the complexity of your procedure, and your preference. Dr. Brooks will recommend the best fit during your consultation.
Will I Be Completely Unconscious?
No. Nitrous oxide keeps you fully awake. Oral sedation allows you to drift in and out of sleep. IV sedation produces deeper relaxation, but you are not under general anesthesia.
Can I Drive Myself Home After Sedation?
With nitrous oxide, yes. With oral or IV sedation, you will need a responsible adult to drive you to and from your appointment.
What Procedures Can Be Done Under Sedation?
Virtually any procedure, from routine cleanings to dental implants and full-arch restorations. Sedation is especially helpful when combining multiple procedures into a single visit.
How Long Do the Effects of Sedation Last?
Nitrous oxide wears off almost immediately. Oral sedation may leave you drowsy for several hours. IV sedation effects typically subside within a few hours. We provide aftercare instructions before your appointment.
