What sedation dentistry actually means
Sedation dentistry uses medication to keep you calm and comfortable during treatment. It ranges from light relaxation to a sleep-like state where you have no memory of the procedure at all.
It was designed for people who feel real anxiety about the dentist. If you have been putting off treatment because of fear, this is the thing that removes that barrier.
Sedation may be right for you if:
Three levels of comfort
The right choice depends on your health history, the procedure, and how much anxiety you feel. Dr. Maz will walk through all of it with you before anything is scheduled.
IV Sedation
Medication is delivered directly through a vein, so it works within seconds and the dose can be adjusted moment to moment. You drift into a sleep-like state and wake with no memory of the procedure.
Dr. Maz earned this certification at USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry. He administers and monitors it himself, tracking your vitals throughout. No outside anesthesiologist is needed.
Oral Sedation
Taken as a pill before your appointment. You stay relaxed and calm throughout. Depending on the dose, you may be drowsy but awake, or drift close to sleep.
Inhaled Sedation
Often called laughing gas. You breathe it in through a small mask and feel relaxed within minutes. It wears off quickly, so most patients can drive themselves home.
Sedation is not general anesthesia
People often assume these are the same thing. They are not, and the difference matters for your recovery.
Sedation works with every procedure here
Root canal therapy
The most common request. Light sedation is usually enough for full comfort, and IV sedation is available if you would rather sleep through it entirely.

The right level varies. Deeply impacted teeth may call for heavier sedation, while many extractions are completely comfortable with a lighter option.
Extraction page →Emergency visits
Sedation is available after hours too. If you are in severe pain at 2am and dread the chair, that combination is exactly what this exists for.

Stop putting it off. Sleep through it.
Dental anxiety is the reason most people wait until a small problem becomes an emergency. Sedation removes that reason entirely. Book a consultation and Dr. Maz will walk you through every option before you commit to anything.
