Sedation Dentist Near Sanford, NC

The Teeth Doctors™ is at 6402 Yadkin Road in Fayetteville, about 36 miles south of Sanford via US-1 and US-15-501. The drive takes 50 to 53 minutes through Spout Springs and Anderson Creek before reaching the Yadkin Road area in northwest Fayetteville. Sanford patients who come to us are usually here for one of two things: advanced sedation that exceeds what local options can deliver, or implant work paired with sedation. If your dental care has reached that point, 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 Sanford

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. For sedation that needs to go deeper than oral, options between Sanford and Fayetteville thin out quickly.
Implant and full-arch work under one team. Dr. Davis holds Master credentials with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and the Academy of Osseointegration, plus a Fellowship from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Multi-procedure cases are managed in-house instead of being split across specialists.
A veteran-owned practice. Dr. Davis is a US Army veteran. For Sanford patients who are veterans, current military, or military family members, the practice culture and the conversations about service-related dental issues come from a provider who has worn the uniform.

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 Sanford patients making the drive, IV sedation is usually the level that justifies the 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.

Implant and Multi-Procedure Cases Sanford Patients Come Here For

What to Expect on Your Sedation Appointment

Pre-appointment consultation. Often handled over phone or video for Sanford patients to save a trip. We review medical history, current medications, and anxiety history. From that, we recommend the sedation level that fits.
Pre-appointment instructions. Most sedation requires fasting and a ride home. Written instructions go out at booking.
The appointment. We monitor vitals throughout, administer sedation, and perform the procedure. For Sanford 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 Sanford and stays with you for several hours.
Follow-up. Next-day phone check. For routine sedation cases, follow-up does not require another trip back.

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 drive from Sanford worth it for sedation dentistry?

For routine sedation cases (nitrous or oral for a single appointment), probably not – closer options exist in the Triangle and Sanford itself. For IV-level sedation on complex or multi-procedure cases, the math changes. Most Sanford 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 Sanford 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 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. CareCredit is available for monthly financing on larger cases.
