Sedation Dentistry in Cumming, GA
Relax and Receive the Care You Need
If fear or anxiety has kept you from visiting the dentist, you’re not alone. Many patients avoid necessary treatment because they’re nervous about discomfort, needles, or even just the sound of dental tools. At Inspiring Smiles, our sedation dentistry options make it possible for you to feel calm and comfortable during your visit so you can get the care your smile needs.
We provide IV sedation, oral conscious sedation, and nitrous oxide, but we do not offer general anesthesia. This allows us to customize your level of relaxation safely while ensuring you remain in caring, expert hands.
Types of Sedation Dentistry We Offer
IV Sedation
IV sedation provides the deepest level of relaxation available in our office. It is delivered directly into your bloodstream, allowing our team to adjust the dosage in real time. With IV sedation, most patients remain responsive but may not remember the procedure afterward. This option is excellent for complex treatments or patients with severe dental anxiety.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment. It provides a moderate level of relaxation—you’ll feel drowsy but stay awake and able to respond. Because the effects last several hours, you’ll need a companion to drive you home after your visit.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a light sedative inhaled through a comfortable mask. It works quickly, wears off just as fast, and allows you to drive yourself home after treatment. This makes it an excellent choice for patients with mild anxiety or children who need help relaxing during routine care like dental cleanings & exams.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation can make dental visits easier for patients who:
- Experience high levels of dental anxiety or fear
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Need multiple or complex procedures, such as dental implants or wisdom teeth removal
- Struggle to stay comfortable in the dental chair
- Have had past negative dental experiences
Comfortable, Stress-Free Care at Inspiring Smiles
Our team pairs sedation with advanced dental technology to ensure treatments are efficient, precise, and as gentle as possible. From preventive services like fluoride treatment to complex restorative work such as All-on-4 dental implants, sedation can help you get the care you’ve been putting off.

Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes. Our team is highly trained in administering sedation and monitoring patients throughout treatment. Each option is tailored to your medical history and comfort level.
Will I be unconscious during treatment?
No. We do not use general anesthesia. With IV sedation and oral sedation, you’ll be deeply relaxed but still responsive. With nitrous oxide, you remain awake and aware throughout.
Can children receive sedation dentistry?
Nitrous oxide is often a safe option for children who feel nervous about dental treatment. We’ll review your child’s health history before recommending it.
Will I need someone to drive me home?
Yes, if you receive oral conscious sedation or IV sedation. Nitrous oxide, however, wears off quickly, so you can drive yourself home afterward.
