Sedation Dentistry in Beverly Hills

Dental anxiety should never stand between you and a healthy smile. At Tooth Doctor LA in Beverly Hills, we offer safe, monitored sedation options that help you relax through any procedure, so you can get the care you need without stress or discomfort.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to relax patients during dental procedures. Depending on the level of sedation, patients may feel deeply relaxed, drowsy, or have little to no memory of the appointment. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety and twilight or moderate IV sedation for more significant anxiety or longer procedures.
