Anxiety-free dentistry — the same gentle care, minus the dread.
If dental anxiety has kept you out of the chair for years, sedation dentistry changes the math. As a sedation dentist in Alexandria, VA, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation so nervous patients, strong gag reflexes and long procedures all get through comfortably — most patients remember little and feel no pain. You stay responsive the whole time, and we monitor you throughout.
Sedation dentistry is very safe for healthy patients. Before recommending any option we review your full medical history and current medications, and during treatment we monitor you continuously.
With both nitrous and oral sedation you remain conscious and responsive the entire time — you can answer questions and follow simple instructions, you just stop caring about the drill.
Sedation is more affordable than most patients expect, and we quote the exact fee up front before any treatment — no surprises. Nitrous oxide is sometimes covered by insurance; oral sedation usually is not.
If cost is a concern, our financing options through Cherry, Sunbit and CareCredit can split treatment into monthly payments.
It starts with a conversation, not a procedure. Tell us what makes visits hard for you, and we will walk through the options and build a plan at your pace.
Many patients who thought they needed sedation for everything find that after a few calm visits, they need it less and less. Either way, the choice is always yours.
