Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry helps ease dental anxiety, fear, or discomfort, making it an excellent option for patients with past trauma, a strong gag reflex, or sensory sensitivities. It can be paired with local anesthesia for a pain-free experience and allows for more efficient treatment—often completing multiple procedures in a single visit.

At Fortson Dentistry, we tailor sedation options to your comfort level so you can feel relaxed and confident every step of the way. Nervous about the dentist? Ask us about sedation options to make your visit easier!

Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is perfect for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, fear of needles, or those needing longer procedures. It’s also ideal for children, seniors, or anyone who prefers a calmer, more relaxed experience in the chair.

Sedation Options We Offer

Oral Sedation

Taken before or during your visit, oral sedation is a prescription pill that eases anxiety and helps you feel calm and relaxed while staying conscious throughout your treatment.

Nitrous Oxide

Delivered through a mask, nitrous oxide creates a mild, calming effect. You'll remain awake and aware, and we pair it with local anesthesia for a pain-free experience.

IV Sedation

Administered through a vein, IV sedation offers deeper relaxation for longer or more complex procedures. You’ll stay conscious but deeply relaxed and may remember little afterward.

"I've been a patient with this practice for decades & was nervous when I learned there were new dentists in town.  I'm sooo glad I decided to stay!!!! For starters, the staff makes you feel like family, very friendly, fun atmosphere.  In less than a year, I've had two big procedures & decided to give IV sedation a try....What a game changer!!!  Dr Fortson can give his full attention to working on my dental needs, while James is the nurse anesthesiologist.  This duo are like dental rock stars 🤩.
