Sedation Dentistry
If dental anxiety keeps you from feeling comfortable at the dentist, you're not alone. We offer laughing gas or oral sedation options that can transform your experience at Perry Smiles.
Sedation Options for a Relaxed Dental Visit
At Perry Smiles, we know dental anxiety can make getting the care you need difficult. That’s why Dr. Shanon Black offers sedation, a safe and effective method for relaxation during treatments. We often use sedatives for wisdom teeth removal and deep cleanings, but it’s available for any procedure upon request.
We are proud to be one of the few practices in the Perry area with licensed dentists to perform sedation dentistry; we’re dedicated to providing a comfortable, stress-free experience.

How Long Does Dental Sedation Last?
Dental sedation duration depends on the type used, but effects typically wear off within a few hours. Your dentist will provide specific guidance based on your sedation option.

How Fast Does Sedation Work?
The onset of sedation varies based on the type used. Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) works quickly, usually taking effect within minutes as you inhale through a mask, allowing for a calm and relaxed experience during your appointment. With oral sedation, which involves taking a prescribed pill, the effects typically begin within 30 to 60 minutes. Both options offer a comfortable and anxiety-free visit, so you can feel at ease in the dental chair.
