Treatment type
Oral sedation dentistry offers a calm and anxiety-free experience for patients who feel nervous about dental visits. At Neola Dental in Minneola, we provide safe, effective sedation options tailored to your comfort—so you can receive the care you need without fear or stress.
What is oral sedation dentistry?
Oral sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s especially helpful for those with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or who need extensive treatments. Unlike general anesthesia, you remain awake but in a deeply relaxed, drowsy state throughout the procedure.
The oral sedation procedure with nitrous oxide
At Neola Dental, we offer oral sedation with nitrous oxide—commonly known as laughing gas—for fast, gentle anxiety relief. You’ll inhale the gas through a small mask placed over your nose, and within minutes, you’ll feel calm and more at ease. This conscious sedation method is safe, effective, and wears off quickly after the procedure
The benefits of conscious sedation for dental treatments
Conscious sedation allows patients to stay relaxed, responsive, and pain-free during dental work. Benefits include reduced anxiety, a more comfortable treatment experience, and a decreased sense of time. Many patients report remembering little or nothing about the procedure, making it ideal for those with dental phobia or complex treatments.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Oral Sedation in Minneola, FL
Is oral sedation at the dentist safe?
Yes, when administered by a trained dental professional after a thorough review of your health history. At Neola Dental we follow established safety protocols and monitor you throughout the procedure. Oral sedation is not right for everyone, so we discuss your medical history and current medications at your consultation before recommending it.
Will I be unconscious during oral sedation?
No. Oral sedation is a form of conscious sedation, so you stay awake but in a deeply relaxed state. You can still respond to your dentist, and most patients simply feel calm and report little or no memory of the procedure afterward.
How long does oral sedation last, and can I drive home after?
The effects can last several hours after your appointment, so you must arrange for a responsible adult to drive you to and from our office. You should not drive or operate machinery for the rest of the day.
Who is a good candidate for oral sedation dentistry?
Oral sedation is a good option for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty getting numb with local anesthesia, or those facing a long or complex procedure. Some medical conditions or medications may make it unsuitable, so your dentist evaluates whether it is right for you during your consultation.
Does dental insurance cover oral sedation in Minneola, FL?
Coverage varies by plan. Some dental plans cover sedation when it is medically necessary, for example for patients with severe anxiety or special needs. We recommend checking with your insurance provider before your visit, and our team is glad to help verify your benefits.
What is the difference between nitrous oxide and oral sedation?
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is inhaled through a small nose mask and wears off within minutes after it is removed. Oral sedation uses a prescription medication taken before your appointment and produces a deeper, longer-lasting level of relaxation. Your dentist recommends the right level of sedation based on your needs and anxiety level.

Great experience from everyone that works there. Very happy with their service. Highly recommended
First time at this place was super clean and so detailed with designs. Everyone at Front desk is super sweet, genuinely nice, they really care about what the patient wants. After that I came back for a root canal with Dr. Josaida Contreras, she is absolutely the best, hands down the best dentist I found! She is super cool and makes the process so easy explains everything she's doing. My root canal and fillings she's done look perfect. Her work is phenomenal. The dental assistant Nancy is also the best she's super sweet and so relatable, she always has a bright smile and welcomes me with same energy. I have never had such a vibrant dental assistant! This place is worth it I really enjoy my experience here. I had bad experience with other places in Clermont and I'm so happy to say I found my place!
Excellent service, muy professional.. sinceros en las evaluaciones.. me siento super comfortable. Gracias Dios bendiga el equipo.
Outstanding experience at Neola Dental. Friendly staff, modern and clean office, and truly top-tier care. Everything was explained clearly, and I never felt rushed or uncomfortable. This is a dental practice that genuinely cares about its patients. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent dental care.
Omgoodness I absolutely LOVE this dental office! I have a bit of dental anxiety, and the dentist and staff are soo caring and attentive, they all completely alleviated my nerves and made me feel sooo at ease! Upon entering the office, you are immediately greeted with friendly salutations, an aromatic fragrance, great refreshments, and beautiful decor. I honestly cannot say enough about the sweet amazing, knowledgeable, patient staff at Neola Dental! Dr Contreras is just the best, she knows her stuff, her knowledge and experience is quite apparent, but she also has the best bed side manner I've ever seen in a medical office, and always has your best interests in mind. Important to note, my experiences have been absolutely pain free, my dental fears are far gone!
I moved and was looking for a new dentist and came across Neola Dental. So glad I found them, they are effecient, caring and knowledgable. Dr Contreras explained everything to me so I could correct my bite and prevent further damage that I was not aware of. The staff was courteous, friendly and competent. Would highly recommend if you are looking for an excellent dentist.
I had such an amazing experience. The office is super clean and modern. The service is perfect. They have this menu of things that will help you feel relax for your visit like hand moisturizing gloves. The dentist and her staff truly care about their clients.
