While sedated, you remain relaxed and comfortable, with our dental team closely monitoring your vital signs for the duration of treatment.
You are given time to recover before being discharged, with specific aftercare instructions provided for the hours that follow afterward.
Consider sedation dentistry if any of the following apply to you.
You experience significant dental anxiety or fear that has kept you away from appointments in the past for months or even years.
You have a low pain threshold or a sensitive gag reflex that makes routine treatment difficult to sit through comfortably in the chair.
You require extensive dental work and would rather have it completed within a single longer visit rather than across several separate ones.
You find it hard to sit still or stay comfortable through a longer appointment in the chair for the length of the procedure itself.
Amazing doctor’s I love it there. I’m not a fan of going to the dentist, but they make you feel so comfortable and so at ease that it feels so calm and all your stress and nervousness goes away. I strongly believe that they’re all fairies not gonna lie.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kafri and his entire team! From the moment we walked in, my husband and I felt completely at ease. The front desk staff is friendly and professional, and the hygienists gave us both incredibly thorough yet gentle cleanings 😁 Dr. Kafri himself is outstanding. I had a couple of fillings done and was amazed at how painless and quick the entire process was. He’s calm, caring, and explains everything so clearly. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients’ comfort and long-term health. If you’re looking for a dental office that combines skill, compassion, and a great atmosphere, look no further.
These wonderful doctors completely restored my faith that there are excellent and compassionate dentists in the country! And in Santa Clarita.💕 They did some very difficult proceedures in amazingly fast time and painlessly! I am so thankful I found this dental office. They truly care! I am so thankful for them! I can now take care of my mouth and not be afraid in any way! Thank you so much!! If you all want to be treated as a person with gentleness, expert proceedures and an office that will work with you, this is your forever dentist!! They are mine for sure!❤️
I had an amazing experience at this dental office! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. The office was clean, modern, and very calming. Dr. Kafri was amazing, I give him 10/10. The nurse was also amazing but I don’t remember her name unfortunately. Taylor, she did my cleaning, was phenomenal. The dentist took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was completely comfortable throughout the entire visit. The treatment was gentle, efficient, and truly exceeded my expectations. I left feeling well cared for and confident about my dental health. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dentist!
Kristin is the best! She is so kind and gentle, always attentive to my comfort. As someone with anxiety about anything dental related, I trust her and appreciate her care so much. I’m never anxious about going to her for a cleaning.
Dr. Snead was very good and helped me be calm about the procedure. I have had anxiety over dental work for years and this office always makes it easy.
Aniko is amazing— so calm & thorough. She cares so much about her patients & does everything in her power to make them comfortable.
Aniko Lawson is the best dental hygienist I have ever had she is gentle, knowledgeable, and truly committed to helping me feel comfortable while maintaining my oral health. She takes time to explain procedure clearly . Offer personalized tips for better home care. She has a very strong clinical skills. She makes my visit feel supportive and stress- free while promoting long - term wellness. Love her.
I’ve had an excellent experience with Carrie. She is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and detail oriented. Each visit is efficient yet never feels rushed, and she always takes the time to explain procedures and provide helpful recommendations for maintaining good oral health. Her thoroughness and gentle approach make every cleaning comfortable and effective. I highly recommend Carrie for anyone seeking high-quality dental care delivered with professionalism and genuine care.
Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry took amazing care of my dental needs. As someone who gets anxious when going to the dentist, they calmed my nerves throughout my procedure and communicated every step to me. I cannot recommend this dentist office enough.
I am very anxious at the dentist. Dr. Rayan was quick and gentle during my last visit. Highly recommend
Since my first encounter with a dentist as a kid, I’ve never had a truly good experience. This stems from having the most annoyingly sensitive gag reflex known to humankind. I was told that it was in my head, I needed to relax, etc. Cue a series of ongoing dental experiences that led to a decent case of anxiety. Getting x-rays done was the worst. This is the first dental team who has made it an ongoing effort to understand and be accommodating of my annoying gag reflex for routine cleanings and other procedures over the past few years. Everyone has been amazing in their roles and delivery of care. The VAD team is always on top of it in all aspects of care. If you have any sort of dental anxiety or are self-conscious in any way, it’s definitely worth scheduling an appointment here. They’re the most patient and thoughtful dental team. Shoutout to Taylor for being the best dental hygienist ever!
The best dentist I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so kind and friendly, from the very first person you encounter in the front office. I have some dental anxiety and the dentist and dental assistance explained all the steps of the procedure and checked in with me multiple times to make sure I was doing well. Excellent service all around.
Everything was excellent ,Courtney and Taylor my hygienist went above and beyond the call of duty to make me comfortable !
The staff here are so kind and friendly from the front office staff and hygienists to the specialists.They make every visit feel comfortable and welcoming. My hygienist Carrie is so sweet and does a great job. Dr. Pham is wonderful as my regular dentist and Dr. Rayan recently performed a few complicated root canals for me involving curved roots and he handled it with real skill and care. I can’t recommend this team highly enough.
Always a pleasant experience! Love the gentle and sweet kindness, thorough expertise and skills of Aniko who does my dental cleaning. Courtney and the other staff in the office are always very kind, attentive and courteous. Thanks and see you all in 6 months! 😀
With all my dental anxiety I found myself pretty relaxed in her chair. She is absolutely fabulous and im looking forward to seeing her again. Thank you Kristen and staff ♥️
I’ve had a great experience at this dental office, especially with the oral surgeon and Dr. K. They are both incredibly skilled, patient, and professional, and they took the time to explain everything clearly, which really helped put me at ease. The procedure went smoothly and the care afterward was excellent. The whole team is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about their patients. I highly recommend this practice.
Carrie was amazing! She and I had wonderful chats during my cleaning, which helped my anxiety. She was very caring, as is everyone who works there.
I’ve been going to Valencia Aesthetic (fka Dr. Fealy) since 2000. Nothing but the most professional and kind staff and dentists. From the ladies behind the magic at the front desk to hygienists to dentists. All three of my kids also get their teeth taken care of by VA. My youngest son who is 8 loves his hygienist Kristen and always tells me how nice and gentle she is while cleaning his teeth. Today I saw Taylor who cleaned my teeth and I loved our conversation throughout the process and look forward to seeing her in 6 months. Never any pressure or upselling and a very family vibe which is very important to me. 🦷🪥🩵

The cost of sedation dentistry in Valencia, CA, depends on which method is used and how long your procedure takes. Our team quotes the sedation fee alongside the treatment fee before anything is scheduled.
Coverage varies, and many plans contribute toward sedation when it is medically necessary rather than elective. We verify your benefits for sedation dentistry in Valencia, CA, in advance.
Sedation dentistry is generally safe when administered by a trained professional. Our team closely monitors you throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.
Sedation levels vary, and you may feel drowsy or fully relaxed but not completely unconscious. Deep IV sedation is the exception to that.
Recovery time depends on the sedation type, and nitrous oxide wears off quickly. Oral and IV sedation may require a longer recovery period and someone to drive you home.
IV sedation is best for longer treatments and offers deep sedation with thorough monitoring, while oral sedation suits moderate anxiety and keeps you aware yet relaxed. Nitrous oxide is perfect for mild anxiety, since its effects dissipate quickly and let you resume your day soon after.
Schedule a consultation with our experienced dentists to explore which sedation option suits you. Booking sedation dentistry in Valencia, CA, is how anxious patients finally get the care they need.
