Relaxation and Comfort During Dental Procedures
At Lifted Dentistry in Irvine, CA, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry. It is a safe, effective way to help you relax and feel at ease during your dental treatment. Whether you experience mild anxiety or severe dental fear, sedation can transform your visit into a calm, comfortable experience.
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you relax while receiving the care you need. It allows your body to rest more completely, enhances the effects of local anesthesia, and reduces the sensation of time passing. This can be especially helpful for patients undergoing complex or multiple treatments in one sitting. Our goal is to make your visit smooth, pain-free, and stress-free from start to finish.At Lifted Dentistry in Irvine, CA, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients.

Your Sedation Treatment May Include:
- Nitrous Oxide Sedation
- General Anesthesia
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a mild dental sedation medication. Once inhaled, it induces a state of mild relaxation and reduces sensitivity to pain. It is safe for virtually every patient, regardless of age. After treatment, oxygen neutralizes the effects of nitrous oxide, and you will be fully alert and able to drive yourself home.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia is a deeper form of sedation used for more complex dental procedures. It renders you completely unconscious, ensuring you feel no pain or discomfort during treatment. This type of sedation is typically reserved for extensive dental work or patients with extreme dental anxiety. After the procedure, you will need some time to recover and will require someone to drive you home.

“Be a lighthouse, not a lifeboat.”
This was a quote shared by Dr. John Kois and illustrates what it means to be a Kois trained dentist. It means asking the right questions. It means being a “forever” student. It means striving to understand the art and science of dentistry at the highest level. Ultimately, being a Kois trained dentist means becoming the best possible guide for our patients on their oral health journey.
