Sedation Dentist in Fayetteville, NC

The Teeth Doctors™ is at 6402 Yadkin Road in Fayetteville, welcoming new patients who want their dental care to come with sedation built in. Whether you have skipped cleanings for years because the chair is too much, or you need a specific procedure done and want to be relaxed through it, we offer all four levels of sedation – from laughing gas to full general anesthesia.

Dr. Jeremiah Davis built the practice around what he calls Worry Free from A to Z™ care. The sedation conversation starts on day one. Before any procedure is scheduled, you talk through which level fits your anxiety, your medical history, and the work that needs doing.

Sedation Options at a Glance

For a full clinical breakdown of how each sedation level works, see our main sedation dentistry service page. The summary below is here so you can see your options without leaving the page.

Nitrous Oxide ("Laughing Gas")

A light, inhaled sedation. You breathe it through a small nose mask, the calming effect kicks in within minutes, and it wears off within minutes of removing the mask. You stay alert and can drive yourself home.

Best for: mild anxiety, routine cleanings, fillings, and simple extractions where you want the edge off without a long recovery.

Oral Conscious Sedation

A prescription pill taken about an hour before the appointment. You stay conscious and responsive, but you feel deeply relaxed and most patients remember little of the procedure. You will need a ride home.

Best for: longer procedures, moderate to severe anxiety, and patients who have tried nitrous and need something deeper.

IV Sedation ("Twilight Sleep")

Sedation delivered through a small IV line with continuous monitoring of your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. You enter twilight sleep with almost no memory of the procedure afterward. The level can be adjusted in real time.

Best for: full mouth implant cases, multiple extractions in one visit, oral surgery, severe gag reflex, and consolidating several procedures into one appointment.

General Anesthesia

For the most complex cases or for patients whose anxiety is severe enough that lighter sedation will not work, we coordinate with a board-certified anesthesiologist to administer general anesthesia in our office.

Best for: full-arch All-on-4 cases, multiple complex extractions and grafts in one appointment, and patients whose anxiety has prevented dental care for years.

Why Fayetteville Patients Choose The Teeth Doctors for Sedation

Fayetteville is not short on dentists. The reason patients come to us specifically for sedation work is the combination of provider credentials, the in-office IV sedation setup, and the fact that the practice was built around anxious patients from day one. Anxious patients are not handed off to a specialist 20 minutes across town. The conversation, the consult, the sedation, and the procedure all happen with the same team at the same address.

What to Expect on Your Sedation Appointment

Pre-appointment consultation. We review your medical history, current medications, and anxiety history. From that, we recommend the sedation level that fits.
Pre-appointment instructions. Most sedation requires you to fast for a set number of hours and arrange a ride home. Written instructions go out when you book.
The appointment. We monitor your vitals throughout, administer sedation, and perform the procedure.
For nitrous, you are clear within minutes and drive yourself home. For oral, IV, and general anesthesia, a responsible adult drives you home and stays with you for a few hours.
Follow-up call. We call the next day to check on you and schedule any follow-up visits.

Sedation Cost, Insurance, and Financing

Sedation costs depend on the level. Nitrous is the least expensive option and is often bundled with the procedure cost. IV sedation and general anesthesia are billed separately because they require more provider time, monitoring equipment, and staff.

We are in-network with select PPO dental insurance plans. We do not accept Medicaid. For uninsured patients, we offer a membership discount plan and partner with CareCredit for monthly payment plans on larger cases. You receive a written estimate before any appointment is scheduled.

Sedation Dentistry FAQs

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, when administered by trained providers with proper monitoring. We monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation throughout every sedation appointment. For IV sedation and general anesthesia, we follow ADA guidelines on equipment, staffing, and emergency protocols.

Which sedation level is right for me?

That decision comes out of the pre-appointment consultation. It depends on your anxiety level, the procedure you need, your medical history, and how much downtime you can plan around. Most patients are matched to nitrous or oral sedation. IV and general anesthesia are reserved for longer or more complex procedures.

How is this different from the service page on sedation dentistry?

Our main sedation service page is a deeper clinical breakdown of how each sedation level works. This page is for Fayetteville patients ready to book locally. If you want to read more about the technical side of sedation before deciding, start with the service page.

Do you accept dental insurance for sedation?

We accept select PPO plans. Sedation is sometimes covered under medical necessity provisions when the underlying procedure requires it, and sometimes is not covered at all. We give you a written estimate of out-of-pocket costs before any sedation appointment is scheduled. CareCredit is available for monthly financing on larger cases.
