If the thought of dental surgery makes you feel anxious, you’re not alone. Dental fear is incredibly common—especially when it comes to more advanced procedures like dental implants. At Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry of Atlanta, we offer gentle, patient-first sedation dentistry in Atlanta to help you feel calm, safe, and completely comfortable every step of the way.
Whether you're getting a single dental implant, a full arch restoration, or a complete smile makeover, our sedation options can transform your experience from stressful to serene.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s an ideal solution for patients who experience dental anxiety, have a low pain threshold, or need complex or lengthy treatments—like dental implants or smile transformations.
At our Atlanta practice, we specialize in tailoring sedation to your needs, offering several types of sedation dentistry to ensure you feel at ease from start to finish.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation is a great option if you:
Have dental anxiety or fear
Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past
Need multiple procedures or extensive work
Have a strong gag reflex
Struggle to sit still for long periods
Are undergoing implant surgery or full mouth reconstruction
Many of our patients who choose sedation dentistry in Atlanta tell us it was the best decision they made for their smile journey.
Dental implants are one of the most life-changing procedures in cosmetic dentistry, but they can also be intimidating. That’s where sedation comes in. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or undergoing a full smile transformation, sedation dentistry ensures:
A stress-free and pain-free experience
A faster, more efficient treatment
Minimal memory of the procedure
Less physical and emotional fatigue afterward
We want every patient to feel empowered and at peace while receiving care. Sedation allows us to deliver world-class results in a way that feels safe and respectful of your comfort.
We provide multiple levels of sedation, customized for each patient and procedure:
1. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Mild sedation
You remain awake but relaxed
Wears off quickly with little to no side effects
Often used for mild anxiety or shorter treatments
2. Oral Conscious Sedation
Moderate sedation via a prescribed pill
You remain conscious but very relaxed and drowsy
You may not remember much of the procedure
Great for moderate anxiety or longer appointments
3. IV Sedation
Administered through a vein for deeper sedation
You remain conscious but in a twilight state
Often no memory of the procedure
Ideal for implant surgeries or full mouth restorations
Complete unconsciousness
Reserved for extremely complex or lengthy procedures
Monitored by an anesthesiologist
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. We'll discuss your medical history, anxiety level, and procedure needs to help you choose the right dental treatment sedation option.
For many patients, dental implants represent a major step toward renewed health and confidence. But the idea of oral surgery can still be overwhelming. That's why sedation dentistry is such a game-changer.
Here’s how sedation enhances your implant experience:
Reduces anxiety before and during the procedure
Eases tension in the body for smoother healing
Makes long appointments feel like minutes
Allows for multiple implants in one visit
Whether you’re getting a single implant or a full-arch solution, sedation makes the process more approachable, manageable, and empowering.
