What is Sedation Dentistry

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is designed to help patients relax during dental visits. It involves the use of medication to provide a calm and comfortable experience, particularly for those who experience dental anxiety or who require extensive procedures. Our expert dentists offer IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide, and approximately 30% of adults avoid dental care because of fear and anxiety.

The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Reduced Anxiety

Sedation helps alleviate the fear and stress associated with dental visits, which makes appointments far more manageable for you and far less daunting.

Comfortable Experience

Sedation allows for a pain-free procedure because patients remain relaxed and genuinely at ease throughout the whole appointment from start through to finish.

Efficient Treatment

Sedation enables our dentist to perform multiple procedures in one visit, which reduces the number of appointments you need to complete your treatment plan.

Positive Experience

Over 60% of patients who have used sedation dentistry report a more positive dental experience than they had expected walking into the appointment beforehand.

Our Step-by-Step Process

Your sedation appointment follows a careful sequence from consultation to recovery.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Initial Consultation

    You discuss your concerns and medical history with our dentists to determine the right sedation method for your particular case.

  2. 02

    Visit Prep

    Depending on the type of sedation, you may need to avoid food or drink for a few hours beforehand on the day of your treatment with us.

  3. 03

    Sedation Administered

    Sedation is delivered through an IV, orally, or by inhalation, based entirely on the method chosen and on your anxiety level beforehand.

  4. 04

    Monitored Procedure

    While sedated, you remain relaxed and comfortable, with our dental team closely monitoring your vital signs for the duration of treatment.

  5. 05

    Guided Recovery

    You are given time to recover before being discharged, with specific aftercare instructions provided for the hours that follow afterward.

Signs Sedation Dentistry Is Right for You

Consider sedation dentistry if any of the following apply to you.

Dental Anxiety

You experience significant dental anxiety or fear that has kept you away from appointments in the past for months or even years.

Sensitive Reflex

You have a low pain threshold or a sensitive gag reflex that makes routine treatment difficult to sit through comfortably in the chair.

Extensive Work

You require extensive dental work and would rather have it completed within a single longer visit rather than across several separate ones.

Difficulty Sitting

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.
    Angelo D. Google · June 2026
  • 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.

  • 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!

  • I am very anxious at the dentist. Dr. Rayan was quick and gentle during my last visit. Highly recommend
    Danielle Google · May 2021
  • 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!
    C. Y. Google · October 2025
  • 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.
    Kymburlie C. Google · July 2026
  • Everything was excellent ,Courtney and Taylor my hygienist went above and beyond the call of duty to make me comfortable !
    Mike P. Google · June 2026
  • 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.
    Jessica G. Google · March 2026
  • 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! 😀

  • 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.
    Chris G. Google · December 2025
  • 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. 🦷🪥🩵

How much does sedation dentistry cost?

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.

Does insurance cover sedation?

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.

How safe is sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is generally safe when administered by a trained professional. Our team closely monitors you throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.

Will I be completely unconscious?

Sedation levels vary, and you may feel drowsy or fully relaxed but not completely unconscious. Deep IV sedation is the exception to that.

How long does it take to recover?

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.

What types of sedation do you offer?

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.
