Relax and Receive the Care You Need
Dental anxiety is common — and it shouldn’t keep you from getting the care you deserve. At Park Hill Smile, we offer safe and effective sedation dentistry options so you can feel calm, comfortable, and in control during your visit. Whether you’re here for a routine procedure or complex treatment, our sedation techniques allow you to receive high-quality care without fear or stress.
We provide sedation dentistry in Denver, CO, for patients throughout Park Hill, Central Park, Lowry, Montclair, and City Park.
Our Sedation Dentistry Options
Oral Conscious Sedation
A prescription pill taken before your appointment that helps you feel deeply relaxed while remaining awake. You’ll be able to respond to questions but may remember little about the procedure. A trusted adult will need to drive you to and from your visit.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
A safe, fast-acting gas inhaled through a small mask during treatment. Nitrous oxide provides mild relaxation, wears off quickly, and allows you to drive yourself home afterward.
General Sedation Dentistry Philosophy
We tailor each sedation plan to your needs, medical history, and comfort level, ensuring a safe and pleasant experience no matter the procedure.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?

FAQs – Sedation Dentistry
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes — we use proven, FDA-approved sedation methods and monitor you throughout your visit.
Will I be asleep?
With oral sedation and nitrous oxide, you remain awake but deeply relaxed.
Can I eat before sedation?
Instructions vary by sedation type — we’ll review them with you beforehand.
Will I feel any pain?
Sedation works alongside local anesthesia to keep you completely comfortable.
Can children have sedation dentistry?
We focus on adult patients, but we can discuss sedation needs on a case-by-case basis.
Not necessarily — in many cases, it saves time and reduces the need for additional procedures.
