We do our best to make our office as welcoming and relaxing as possible for our patients. For some patients, even the most comforting environment still leaves them with anxiety about their dental appointments. For further support for these patients, our experienced staff offers sedation dentistry options to make their visit a pleasant one. We also provide sedation techniques for patients who need extra assistance in maintaining good oral health due to physical challenges or medical conditions. With our safe and effective sedation dentistry, we can help our patients receive the care they need in a comfortable and pain free environment.
Sedation dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry, is an option for those who may experience fear or anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist. It’s a way of providing superior dental care without discomfort or worry. At Lake Olympia Dental, we recognize that everyone is different and has unique concerns regarding their oral health, so we are happy to offer personalized sedation dentistry options that work for you.
Sedation dentistry doesn’t necessarily mean you will be put to sleep. It simply means your anxiety and fear can be managed so that the necessary dental procedures can still be completed with ease and comfort. No matter what name you choose to call it, sleep dentistry or sedation dentistry, the end result is a pleasant dental experience. We’re here to listen to your needs and provide you with personalized options that fit your specific concerns.
We offer nitrous oxide (or “laughing gas”) as a sedation dentistry option. Nitrous oxide is an odorless and colorless gas that helps relax our patients during a dental procedure. It is perfectly safe and can be used for many types of dental treatments, from a routine cleaning to more extensive procedures like fillings or root canals.
The effects of nitrous oxide are mild and short-term, so the patient will remain conscious throughout the procedure while experiencing minimal discomfort. Nitrous oxide works quickly and wears off soon after we stop administering the gas. Nitrous oxide can help reduce anxiety and fear for patients who have dental phobias or general dental anxiety. The effects of this sedative are relaxing, allowing our patient to remain calm and comfortable throughout their procedure. Our dentists and staff take extra measures to ensure that the patient remains safe while under the influence of nitrous oxide during a treatment.
Oral conscious sedation is a form of sedation dentistry which uses medication to help relax and reduce anxiety in dental patients. The medication is taken orally, usually in pill form, and helps the patient feel more relaxed and at ease before their dental procedure. During the treatment, patients will remain conscious but may become drowsy or fall asleep temporarily. Oral conscious sedation is safe and effective, and can help reduce anxiety levels during the procedure while still allowing the patient to respond to verbal commands from the dentist. Drowsiness may linger after sedation, so a ride home should be arranged before treatment begins.
We believe that everyone deserves a comfortable experience when it comes to their dental care. That’s why we offer a variety of sedation dentistry services from nitrous oxide to oral conscious sedation for those who need additional support during treatment. Our experienced and knowledgeable team will work with you to determine the best solution for your needs so you can get the care you need without any stress or discomfort.

Wow highly recommend I meet Dr. Dinh in a previous dental office, and what can I say I have always been afraid of the dentist with the numbing process. How ever Dr. Dinh has made me feel so comfortable that I didn’t even feel when he numb me he did 5 fillings and I didn’t feel a dam thing. He sure knows what he is doing 100% recommended I sure will be recommending my family and friends to him.
