Oral Sedation Eases Anxiety Before and During Treatment
Easier Than Nitrous Oxide
When it comes to dental sedation, you likely think of laughing gas. Other dentists offer laughing gas, or nitrous oxide, during appointments. However, our dentist has found that oral medications offer benefits over nitrous oxide, like helping patients feel calm before their appointments when apprehension is often high.
In addition, nitrous oxide has to be administered continuously throughout your visit, while oral medication is taken once prior to your visit. You experience the effects for the next few hours.
How Oral Sedation Works
With this type of sedation, we will electronically prescribe a sedative to you before your appointment. This e-prescribing system reduces prescription errors and allows us to electronically send your prescription directly to a pharmacy of your choice. About 30 minutes before your visit, you will take the prescribed dosage of oral medication and have someone drive you to your appointment at our office. By the time you arrive at our practice, you should feel relaxed and ready to receive the dental care you need. That's the impact of sedation!
We Go Beyond Standard Sedation
Many dental offices limit sedation to nitrous oxide, which only provides mild, short-term relief. At Sonoran Dental Design, we take a more comprehensive approach. By combining oral sedation with advanced Onset injections and continuous monitoring, we ensure deeper relaxation, greater comfort, and enhanced safety throughout your visit.
How We Monitor

Our Commitment to You
Once you take your sedative and enter Sonoran Dental Design in Scottsdale, AZ, we will take good care of you. Throughout your appointment, we will monitor your blood pressure readings and use a pulse oximeter to make sure you are responding safely to the sedation.

Don't Suffer in Silence!
If you fear going to the dentist, we have sedation options to put you at ease.
A study from the American Dental Hygienists' Association notes that anywhere from 50 to 80% of people feel nervous about going to the dentist. That fear can impact your smile dramatically. In fact, the same study notes that worries about going to the dentist can influence how often you go. Around 20% of those who feel anxiety about going to the dentist do not regularly make their appointments. Additionally, anywhere from 9 to 15% of those impacted by dentist-related worries will elect not to go to their appointments at all.
So if you find yourself feeling anxious about going to the dentist, you're not alone. Many of our patients have the same fears! At Sonoran Dental Design, we don't want you to have that problem!
Frequently Asked Questions About Sedation Dentistry in Scottsdale, AZ
Q: Will I be asleep during oral sedation?
A: No. Oral sedation is designed to put you into a deeply relaxed, near-sleep state, but you’ll remain conscious and able to respond to Dr. Sielicki or Dr. Zineldine. Many patients feel as though their appointment goes by quickly and remember very little about the experience.
Q: Is sedation dentistry safe?
A: Yes. At Sonoran Dental Design, your safety is our top priority. We carefully review your medical history, electronically prescribe your sedative to avoid errors, and monitor you throughout your visit with blood pressure checks and a pulse oximeter.
Q: How long will the effects of sedation last?
A: The calming effects of oral sedation usually last for several hours. You’ll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment, and most patients feel fully back to normal by the next day.
Q: Will I remember my treatment after being sedated?
A: Many patients have little to no memory of their procedure. This “amnesia effect” is one of the biggest benefits of oral sedation, especially for patients who feel anxious about dental visits.
