Sedation Benefits

Sedation dentistry removes one of the biggest barriers to getting the care you need: fear. With nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation available, Dr. Bollinger can tailor your visit to whatever level of relaxation feels right for you. Beyond easing anxiety, sedation also allows more complex procedures to be completed in fewer visits, since patients are typically more comfortable staying in the chair for longer stretches. Our Billings team carefully evaluates your health history before recommending any sedation option, so you can feel confident that your visit will be both safe and calm from start to finish.

Sedation Visit Journey

Your sedation experience starts with a conversation about your anxiety level, medical history, and the treatment you need, so Dr. Bollinger can recommend the right option for you. On the day of your visit, your chosen sedation method is administered, whether that is breathing in nitrous oxide, taking an oral sedative beforehand, or receiving IV sedation from a trained team member. Throughout your procedure, our team monitors your comfort and safety closely. Afterward, you will need a few hours to recover from oral or IV sedation, so plan for a ride home and a relaxed rest of your day.
