What Is Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep dentistry uses controlled sedation to help you stay relaxed during your dental procedure. While you may not be fully “asleep,” you remain calm, comfortable, and often remember very little of the appointment. Sedation allows you to receive dental care without stress, physical discomfort, or emotional tension.
Sleep dentistry is especially beneficial for patients who avoid treatment due to anxiety, previous negative experiences, or difficulty staying still during longer procedures.
Who Benefits From Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep dentistry is ideal for patients who:
- Experience strong dental anxiety or fear
- Have difficulty getting numb
- Have a sensitive gag reflex
- Feel overwhelmed by sounds or sensations
- Require multiple or lengthy procedures
- Struggle with dental visits due to past trauma
- Have special needs or limited mobility
- Prefer a calm, peaceful treatment experience
Sedation helps ensure your dental care is completed safely and comfortably.
Sedation Options Available at Aghbashian Dental
We provide sedation options based on your medical history, level of anxiety, and treatment complexity.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
A light, relaxing sedation delivered through a comfortable nasal mask. You remain awake but calm, and the effects wear off quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Oral Sedation
Medication taken before your appointment that creates deeper relaxation. Many patients feel sleepy, relaxed, and less aware of the procedure. You will need transportation to and from the appointment.
Local Anesthesia With Relaxation Techniques
For patients who need comfort but not deep sedation, we combine gentle techniques with effective anesthesia to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

Average Sedation Dentistry Cost in Glendale, CA
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): $50 – $150 per visit
- Oral Sedation: $150 – $500 per appointment
Cost depends on the sedation type and how long your procedure takes.

We'll discuss your options and provide a clear cost estimate before your treatment begins.
FAQs
Q: Will I be fully asleep during treatment?
Most sedation options help you relax deeply but keep you responsive. You may feel drowsy and remember very little afterward.
Q: Is sedation safe?
Yes when administered and monitored properly. Your medical history is reviewed carefully to ensure safety.
Q: Is sleep dentistry good for anxious patients?
Absolutely. It’s one of the most effective ways to manage dental anxiety.
Q: Does sedation help with pain?
Sedation reduces anxiety and discomfort, and local anesthesia ensures you remain pain-free.
Q: How much does sedation dentistry cost?
Nitrous oxide typically ranges from $50 to $150 per visit, while oral sedation typically ranges from $150 to $500 per appointment. We'll provide a clear cost estimate based on your specific treatment before you begin.
Q: Will I need someone to drive me home?
If you choose oral sedation, yes, you'll need transportation since the medication makes driving unsafe. Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes, so you can typically drive yourself home afterward.
Q: Is sedation dentistry safe for people with health conditions?
In most cases, yes, but we review your full medical history before recommending any sedation option to ensure it's safe for you specifically. Always tell us about any medications or health conditions during your consultation.
