At SMILE HAUS, we understand that dental visits can be anxiety-inducing for many patients. That’s why we’re proud to offer sedation dentistry, a safe and effective solution designed to provide a relaxed and comfortable dental experience. Our goal is to ensure that fear and anxiety no longer stand in the way of achieving optimal oral health. Whether you’re in need of a routine cleaning or more complex dental work, sedation dentistry at SMILE HAUS allows you to receive the care you need without the stress.
WHAT IS SEDATION DENTISTRY?
Sedation dentistry utilizes medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s an ideal option for those who experience dental anxiety, have a low pain threshold, require extensive dental work, or have a hard time sitting still in the dentist’s chair. At SMILE HAUS, we tailor our sedation options to meet each patient’s needs, ensuring a comfortable and anxiety-free experience.
OUR SEDATION DENTISTRY OPTIONS
At SMILE HAUS, we understand the importance of a stress-free dental experience, especially for those who find visits to the dentist overwhelming. Our sedation dentistry options are designed to alleviate anxiety, ensuring that every patient can receive essential dental care in comfort and tranquility. From the moment you walk into our clinic, we’re dedicated to making your dental journey as relaxed and worry-free as possible, offering personalized sedation methods tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative that's inhaled through a mask placed over your nose. It helps you relax
- Oral Sedation: Involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment. You'll remain awake but in a state of deep relaxation.
- IV Sedation: Administered directly into the bloodstream for deeper sedation. You'll remain conscious but may not remember much from your procedure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SEDATION DENTISTRY
- Is Sedation Dentistry Safe? Yes, sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by trained professionals. At SMILE HAUS, our team is highly experienced in sedation techniques and carefully monitors patients throughout the procedure to ensure their safety and comfort. We’ll review your medical history and discuss the best sedation option for your needs.
- How Long Does Sedation Take to Kick In? The onset of sedation depends on the type used. At SMILE HAUS, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) takes effect within 2 to 3 minutes after inhalation, making it ideal for quick relaxation. Oral conscious sedation, which involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment, typically begins to work within 30 to 60 minutes. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history and timeline to ensure everything is timed for a smooth, comfortable experience.
- Does IV Sedation Hurt? Most patients feel only a slight pinch when the IV is placed, similar to a routine blood draw. After that, the sedative quickly takes effect, and you’ll feel deeply relaxed or may not remember the procedure at all. At SMILE HAUS, your comfort is our priority—we use gentle techniques and walk you through each step to make the experience as stress-free and painless as possible.

Went to catch up with my dental care after years of neglect… Everyone there was kind and explain each step that was done in the initial exam and cleaning. There was a concern about being afraid of dental work and wanted to know what they could do to ease that concern.
I’m looking forward to the exceptional care demonstrated so far.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience at Smile-Haus with Dr. Hotait. After doing a lot of research for my All-on-X implants, I was so impressed that this was the only place where you work directly with the doctor from start to finish. From my very first appointment, Dr. Hotait handled every part of the process himself — from the consultation to the surgery — and made me feel completely confident and comfortable the entire way.
I had my surgery done in December 2023, and even now, almost 2 years later, Dr. Hotait continues to be incredibly supportive. He’s always available for checkups, answers any questions quickly, and genuinely cares about his patients long after the procedure is done. The quality of his work and his dedication to his patients are unmatched.
If you’re considering dental implants, Smile-Haus is the place to go. You won’t find a more skilled, attentive, and trustworthy doctor than Dr. Hotait!

I had a great experience at Smile Haus! The staff was super friendly, especially Julie, she was very welcoming from the moment I walked in. The office itself is clean, modern, and has a really comfortable vibe that helped ease any nerves about being there. The hygienist took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole visit. I never felt rushed, and they genuinely cared about my experience. I left with my teeth feeling amazing and a big smile on my face. Definitely recommend Smile Haus to anyone looking for a dental office that’s professional, kind, and trustworthy!
