Cost of Treatment with Sedation Dentistry and Dental Insurance

The exact amount you pay for treatment will vary based on a number of factors, including your dental treatment plan, insurance coverage and other variables. We work with dental insurance companies and file insurance claims on your behalf. Most insurance plans do not offer full coverage, so we will estimate your expected payment for the remaining balance.

YOUR SEDATION DENTISTRY OPTIONS

The term “sedation dentistry” means different things to different people. While some patients are looking for ways to alleviate their fear of the dentist, others are searching for painless dentistry options, where their primary concern is the potential for discomfort or pain during treatment. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, whether your dental anxiety is mild, moderate or severe, we have treatment options available for you.

IV Sedation Dentistry – With IV sedation, we are able to devote our full attention to making your smile beautiful, while a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) safely administers and monitors the sedation drugs. The result is a safe and completely pain-free dental experience.

Nitrous Gas Sedation (commonly referred to as Laughing Gas) – Nitrous gas sedation is a safe, effective method of conscious sedation, where you breathe a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen prior to the procedure. The effect of the drug is reduced anxiety levels – without being “put under.”

HOW MUCH DOES SEDATION DENTISTRY COST?

We understand that cost can be one of the biggest obstacles to pursuing dental treatment, so we will keep your costs as reasonable as possible. The actual dollar amount for sedation dentistry depends on the type of treatment you choose – IV sedation or nitrous gas sedation – and the length of your dental appointment. The good news is that some insurance carriers cover a portion of the anesthesia, and we can always look into potential coverage options for you. The other good news is that your anesthesia consultation is complimentary. We will review your medical history, discuss your concerns and recommend an approach that’s just right for you – all free-of-charge.
