Nitrous Oxide

Commonly known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is the most commonly used type of dental sedation. It acts quickly and wears off fast, allowing you to drive home after your appointment. Nitrous oxide can be easily controlled with minimal negative effects, making it a very safe and effective way to manage anxiety.

Oral Conscious Sedation

This type of sedation is typically administered in the form of a pill or liquid. Medications like Halcion or Valium provide mild to moderate relaxation. You may feel drowsy or groggy, but you will remain alert enough to respond to questions and understand what is happening around you.

IV Sedation and General Anesthesia

Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation induces a state of minimal consciousness, often resulting in little to no memory of the procedure. General anesthesia causes complete unconsciousness and usually requires supervision by an anesthesiologist. Both types require you to arrange transportation home with a friend or family member after your appointment.

The Sedation Process

Pre-Procedure Preparation

Before your appointment, we provide thorough instructions on how to prepare. This involves specific details about dietary restrictions and what to expect during the procedure, ensuring that you are completely ready.

Aftercare

After the procedure, you will receive post-care instructions. Depending on the sedation type, you might need help getting home. We will follow up to ensure your proper healing and answer any additional questions you may have.

Administration of Sedation

On the day of your procedure, we conscientiously apply the chosen sedation method and take all necessary steps to ensure your comfort during the entire process. Our skilled team closely watches over you, offering attentive care and support to ensure your health and safety.

Initial Consultation

We start by arranging an initial meeting to go over your anxiety levels and medical history in depth. This detailed conversation helps us fully grasp your needs and preferences, so we can thoughtfully choose the best sedation option for you.

FAQs

Have questions? Find answers here.

How does IV sedation work?

IV sedation will create a calm mental state without causing you to become unconscious. You will remain aware and able to follow the doctor's directions while sedated. Many patients do not remember the sedation period, so you probably won't recall much or any of the procedure. The medications we give will produce a very pleasant feeling of euphoria. You will be conscious, at ease, and able to cooperate during the procedure – but you will not remember it!

Is sedation safe?

Certainly, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by experienced professionals. We closely monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and adjust sedation levels as needed.

How does sedation work?

Sedation uses medication to promote relaxation during dental procedures. The level of sedation can vary from minimal, where you are alert but relaxed, to deep sedation, where you are barely conscious but can still be awakened.

Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is perfect for individuals with moderate to severe dental fear, a pronounced gag reflex, the need for extensive dental procedures, or trouble sitting still for extended periods. Nevertheless, each person is different, and we will evaluate your eligibility during your first consultation with our team!

Patient Testimonials

You say it best.

I had my first visit with Dr. Indah at Dental Arts of Mountain View today. It was for a TMJ consult. It was by far and away one of the most thorough exams and consultation I've ever had. Amayra, her assistant, was professional, kind and a very warm person. Dr. Indah was also very professional, informative and kind. I am very happy with this office and my first visit was excellent!

Phenomenal experience. I look for a dentist who not only has experience but the highest quality of skill and care. It’s not just about quality, though, I also look for someone who has an excellent reputation. Doctors who have the skill-set as well as attention to detail. It is important to me to have  the ability to understand my needs and desired outcome. I really do appreciate Dr. Field being a premier leader in cosmetic dentistry. Impressive.

I can’t wait to see the models of my teeth not to mention, my new smile! I even brought my kid with me, too! Now that is incredible!  Thank you!

Because I am on camera everyday, my smile is so important. PCCD’s dentists and wonderful staff made it beautiful, white and healthy. And the best part – no pain and no anxiety. Going to PCCD was a pleasant experience. Did you ever think you would hear that about going to a dentist? I would recommend PCCD to anyone.

As a new patient, I can say the whole team was super friendly! When you walk in the door, you immediately feel welcomed. The whole staff were all nice and helpful. Dr. Pham did a good job to make sure you felt comfortable and that you left without any questions. Definitely recommend!

In a word.... AWESOME! I lost a front crown the night before calling Dental Arts of Mountain View. The next day, only hours later, I had a new crown! Dr. Oh and his staff, Susie, Haley, Margorie and Beatrice were truly amazing. The lobby and offices are gorgeous and provides a tranquil environment with massage chairs during procedures. Yes, this dental office is second to none. I did extensive research by googling the "best cosmetic and general dentistry." Dental Arts was at the top of the list. A well deserved reputation that I drove an hour and half to confirm.  The cost was unbelievable affordable.  Great value and results that left a very big Smile on my face! Thank you very much Dental Arts you are the BEST!

Thank you, staff of the Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry for making my cosmetic dentistry experience outstanding. Before visiting, I was self conscious of my teeth and hardly smiled at new people or in pictures. Now I have a brilliant smile and my self confidence has been boosted! I would recommend the Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry to anyone.

Such a lovely place for me and my teeth! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, they always remember me and ask about my family, the whole facility is immaculate, and while they recommend options they never try to push extra services on me. The cost is competitive for Silicon Valley and they accept insurance and flex spending accounts so I waltz right out the door with no hassle! Happy teeth and BEE!

Face it, nobody likes going to the dentist. I get that. But I actually look forward to my dentist visits because of the people! Everyone here is so nice and non-judgmental it's been my pleasure to go here for going on 5 years now! They also know what they're doing, which hasn't been my experience in the past. I am consistently confident that they will take care of my mouth when I go here!

I came to PCCD after doing extensive research online. I had old crowns on my front teeth, old amalgam fillings on my molars that have been worn down. I was also never comfortable with my smile. I’ve always had a dental phobia since childhood and have avoided seeing a dentist… They listened to all my concerns and issues. They presented different options and reviewed them with me. I ended up doing a full mouth reconstruction and I am very happy with the results. It was the best decision I ever made.

Dan A.

Excellent and professional care for replacement of two crowns by Dr. Van and his able assistant, Lo. Clear explanations as he proceeded, Dr. Van's manner was warm, reassuring and expert. I am squeamish about dental care, and they made me feel so safe, calm and reassured.  I am happy to recommend the entire office.

Eleanor L.

Mountain View

I have never liked the look of my teeth. The spaces between my teeth have always bothered me. I found PCCD while doing research on the internet and went to him to find out what my options were. He gave me new porcelain veneers and closed the spaces between my teeth. Now, I feel more confident about my smile.

Dr.Pham & Dr.Katerina are the best! Very conservative and go into details to explain things to patients.
