Gentle Sedation Dentistry

Feel calm, comfortable, and cared for at Lutz Dental

At Lutz Dental, your comfort during treatment is our top priority. Whether you're feeling anxious, sensitive, or just prefer a quieter experience, our sedation options help you relax so you can get the dental care you deserve.

Who benefits from sedation dentistry?

It’s our mission to make dental visits stress-free. Sedation may be ideal if you:

  • Feel anxious or fearful about dental work
  • Have had unpleasant past dental experiences
  • Need extensive procedures in a single visit
  • Have a sensitive gag reflex or reactive teeth
  • Prefer a calm, relaxed atmosphere

Available sedation options at Lutz Dental

Local Anesthetic (No Sedation)

We begin with a topical gel before gently numbing the area—often enhanced by vibration tools to reduce injection discomfort.

Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”)

Ideal for mild anxiety, this safe inhalation sedative helps you stay calm and alert. Effects fade quickly after treatment.

Oral Sedation

Take one or two prescribed pills before your procedure. This option delivers moderate sedation—many patients drift off and have little or no memory of the visit. A driver is required.

Intravenous (IV) Sedation

For deeper relaxation, IV sedation acts quickly and is easily adjustable. You’ll stay conscious and breathing on your own, often with minimal or no memory of the procedure. A driver is mandatory.

Why choose sedation at Lutz Dental?

  • Comfort comes first – sedation dampens anxiety and unwanted sounds, tastes, or smells.
  • Efficient care – handle multiple treatments in one visit.
  • Safety-focused – licensed dentists use advanced monitoring throughout the service.
  • Little to no recollection – most patients don't remember the procedure.

Common concerns we address

  • Needles, drills, sounds? No worries—sedation neutralizes those stressors.
  • Sensitive gag reflex? We’ve got you covered.
  • Long procedures? Sedation makes them easy to power through.

What to expect with IV sedation

  • Fast-acting delivery through a small IV line
  • Ongoing monitoring of vital signs and oxygen
  • You remain responsive yet deeply relaxed
  • Minimal memory of the appointment afterward
  • You’ll need a ride home and rest for the remainder of the day

Ready to experience relaxed dentistry?

Let’s find the right sedation plan for you. Whether you need help with routine cleanings, restorative treatments, or complex procedures—our caring team at Lutz Dental is ready to personalize your experience. We’re here to help remove fear and put your smile first.
