At Haven Dental, we understand that dental anxiety affects millions of people and can prevent them from receiving the care they need. Dr. Thomas Hsieh and our compassionate team specialize in sedation dentistry, offering multiple levels of safe, effective sedation to help even the most anxious patients feel completely comfortable during treatment.
Our sedation options range from mild relaxation to deeper sedation for complex procedures, all administered with the highest safety standards and continuous monitoring. Combined with our warm and welcoming environment and comfort amenities, sedation dentistry at Haven Dental transforms dental visits from stressful experiences into relaxing, peaceful appointments.
Every sedation experience is customized to your specific needs, anxiety level, and treatment requirements. Dr. Hsieh’s extensive training in sedation dentistry and our advanced monitoring equipment ensure your safety and comfort throughout every procedure. Many patients tell us they’re amazed by how relaxed and comfortable they feel during treatments they previously dreaded.
Sedation eliminates dental fear and anxiety, allowing you to receive necessary treatment without stress or panic. Many patients with severe dental phobia find sedation makes regular care possible again.
Sedation ensures you remain comfortable throughout treatment, regardless of the procedure's length or complexity. You'll feel relaxed and peaceful rather than tense or uncomfortable.
Relaxed patients allow for more efficient treatment, and multiple procedures can often be completed in single visits, reducing total appointment time and the number of visits needed.
Haven Dental maintains the highest safety standards for all sedation procedures. Our team is extensively trained in sedation administration and emergency protocols, and we use advanced monitoring equipment to ensure your vital signs remain stable throughout treatment.

Yes, when administered by trained professionals with proper monitoring equipment, sedation dentistry is very safe. Dr. Hsieh is extensively trained in sedation techniques, and we use advanced monitoring equipment to track your vital signs throughout treatment. We also maintain complete emergency protocols and equipment for maximum safety.
With conscious sedation (our most common approach), you remain awake and responsive but deeply relaxed. You can follow simple instructions and communicate with us, but you'll feel calm and comfortable. Many patients have little memory of the procedure afterward, which helps reduce future anxiety.
Recovery time varies by sedation type. Nitrous oxide effects wear off within minutes, while oral and IV sedation may take several hours to completely clear your system. We provide specific recovery timelines and instructions based on your sedation level and individual response.
Most patients are candidates for some level of sedation, but we perform thorough medical evaluations to ensure safety. Certain medical conditions or medications may affect sedation options. During your consultation, Dr. Hsieh will review your health history and recommend the safest, most effective sedation approach for you.
For nitrous oxide, you can drive yourself home as the effects wear off immediately. For oral and IV sedation, you must arrange for a responsible adult to drive you to and from your appointment and stay with you for several hours afterward. This is a safety requirement we strictly enforce.
Coverage varies by insurance plan and the medical necessity of sedation. Some plans cover sedation for extensive procedures or patients with special needs, while others may not cover elective sedation for anxiety. We'll verify your benefits and discuss payment options for any portions not covered by insurance.
