A Calmer Experience with Sedation Dentistry
Many people feel uneasy about dental treatment — especially when it involves a root canal. At Sienna Endodontics, we recognize that anxiety can make it difficult to schedule or complete necessary care. Unfortunately, postponing treatment for an infected tooth can cause more serious complications, such as swelling, pain, or even tooth loss.
We offer several sedation options designed to help you feel calm, comfortable, and in control throughout your procedure.

Sedation Options
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is a light form of sedation delivered through a small mask placed over the nose. It helps you feel relaxed and at ease within minutes, and its effects fade quickly once the mask is removed — so you can typically resume normal activities soon after your visit.
IV Sedation
Intravenous sedation offers the highest level of relaxation and allows medication to take effect almost immediately. The dosage can be adjusted throughout the procedure for maximum comfort and safety. For IV Sedation, patients will need someone to accompany them after the appointment.
01
Patient Comfort
Comfort and Pain Management
Sedation dentistry helps ease anxiety, while local anesthesia ensures the treated area is fully numb and comfortable. Both are carefully administered to support your safety and relaxation throughout the procedure.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions About Sedation
What sedation options do you offer?
We offer nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") for light sedation, as well as IV sedation for a deeper level of relaxation, depending on your needs and comfort level.
Will I be able to drive myself home after sedation?
With nitrous oxide, most patients can resume normal activities soon after their visit since the effects fade quickly. For IV sedation, patients will need someone to accompany them after the appointment.
How do you decide which sedation option is right for me?
Before your appointment, our team will review your medical history and comfort needs to determine the best sedation approach for you.
Is sedation safe?
Sedation dentistry is carefully administered to support your safety and comfort throughout the procedure, and your medical history is reviewed in advance to help determine the safest option for you.
I've had negative dental experiences in the past. Can sedation help?
Yes. Sedation dentistry is often an excellent solution for patients who have had negative dental experiences, feel anxious about dental visits, or find it difficult to stay still for extended periods.
What's the difference between nitrous oxide and IV sedation?
Nitrous oxide is a light form of sedation delivered through a small mask, with effects that fade quickly once the mask is removed. IV sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation, takes effect almost immediately, and can be adjusted throughout the procedure — though it does require someone to accompany you home afterward.
