Sedation Dentist in Hope Mills, NC

The Teeth Doctors™ is at 6402 Yadkin Road in Fayetteville, about 8 miles and a 15-minute drive from Hope Mills. We offer all four levels of sedation, from laughing gas to general anesthesia, for Hope Mills patients who want their dental visit to come with the anxiety taken out of it.

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 sedation level fits your anxiety, your medical history, and the work that needs doing.

Sedation Options at a Glance

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 the entire time and you can drive yourself back to Hope Mills afterward.

Best for: mild anxiety, routine cleanings, fillings, and simple extractions.

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 afterward. 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 Hope Mills Patients Choose The Teeth Doctors for Sedation

Hope Mills has its own local dentists. Most Hope Mills residents who come up to Yadkin Road do so for one reason: the sedation work. Three things drive that choice. First, all four levels of sedation are performed in-house, including IV sedation and general anesthesia, instead of being referred out to a specialist 20 minutes further away. Second, anxious patients are not a niche audience here – the practice was built around them. Third, Dr. Davis's implant and oral surgery credentials mean complex procedures that would normally require multiple referrals are handled by one provider in one chair.

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. 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. For oral, IV, and general anesthesia, a responsible adult drives you home to Hope Mills and stays with you for a few hours.
Follow-up call. We call the next day to check on you and schedule any follow-ups.

Sedation Cost, Insurance, and Financing

Sedation costs depend on the level. Nitrous is the least expensive 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.

Getting Here From Hope Mills

The practice is approximately 8 miles from Hope Mills, with a drive time of 15 to 18 minutes.

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.

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.

Can I drive home to Hope Mills after my appointment?

Only after nitrous oxide. Oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia all require a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for several hours.
