Sedation Dentist Near Laurinburg, NC

The Teeth Doctors™ is at 6402 Yadkin Road in Fayetteville, about 43 miles north of Laurinburg via US-401. Laurinburg patients who come to us are usually here for one of two things: sedation work that exceeds what local options can deliver, or implant and full-mouth restoration work paired with sedation. If your dental care has reached the point where the local options are not enough, this page is the case for the drive.

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.

Worth the Drive From Laurinburg

All four levels of sedation in-house. Nitrous, oral, IV, and full general anesthesia (with a board-certified anesthesiologist on site). Most sedation dentists in smaller markets offer only the lighter two levels. If your procedure or your anxiety needs IV or general, fewer practices between Laurinburg and the Triangle deliver both options under one roof.
A veteran-owned practice. Dr. Davis is a US Army veteran who served with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Liberty. For Scotland County veterans and military families, the practice culture and the conversations about service-related dental issues come from a provider who has worn the uniform.
Implant and full-arch work consolidated under one team. Dr. Davis holds Master credentials with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, the Academy of Osseointegration, and the Academy of General Dentistry, plus a Fellowship from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. The surgery, the sedation, and the restoration are managed by one team in one chair.

Sedation Options Available

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.

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. For Laurinburg patients making the drive, IV sedation makes the most sense for procedures that justify the round trip.

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 Laurinburg Patients Choose Dr. Davis

Laurinburg has its own dentists. The reason Laurinburg patients drive an hour up US-401 to Yadkin Road is usually one of two things: advanced sedation that exceeds local capacity, or implant work that needs a dedicated implant surgeon. Many of these patients are veterans, current military, or military spouses for whom Dr. Davis's service background matters.

What to Expect on Your Sedation Appointment

Pre-appointment consultation. Often handled over phone or video for Laurinburg patients to save a trip. 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 Laurinburg patients, we often consolidate multiple procedures into one appointment to make the drive worth it.
For nitrous, you are clear within minutes. For oral, IV, and general anesthesia, a responsible adult drives you home to Laurinburg.
Follow-up. We call the next day. For routine sedation cases, follow-up is a phone check rather than another in-person trip.

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.

Sedation Dentistry FAQs

Is the one-hour drive worth it for sedation dentistry?

For routine sedation cases (nitrous or oral for a single appointment), probably not – closer options exist. For IV-level sedation on complex or multi-procedure cases, the math changes. Most Laurinburg patients who come here are consolidating what would otherwise be multiple separate appointments into one or two longer visits.

Can I do a phone consultation first?

Yes. We do phone and video consultations for Laurinburg patients to handle the medical history review, the sedation level recommendation, and the cost estimate before you commit to the in-person visit.

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.

Do you accept military insurance?

We accept select PPO dental plans and do not accept Medicaid. For TRICARE and other military dental program coverage, please call us directly so we can confirm what applies to your specific plan.
