Oral Sedation Dentistry

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.

My periodontist referred me to Neola for a re-evaluation of my mouth. Honestly, the location, the care, and the quality make a huge difference. Finding a new dentist who sees you as a patient (not just like a business) is extremely difficult these days. Thanks to everyone who made my visit comfortable, because many of us look for everything in one place, and for me it is.Thank you Esther and Dr. Contreras 💖

My experience at Neola Dental was welcoming and comfortable. Everyone was kind and informative. The environment was clean and they are open about hearing your needs. I attached a few pictures of their lobby. Shout out to Esther, Nashley, and Dr. Contreras for taking good care of my teeth and to the Sara and the other receptionist's name I did not catch for taking care of all my paperwork. 😁

Everything went well. People in the front office are very welcoming. Cleaning was excellent. Good explanation of procedures and condition of overall oral health. Esther is excellent. Dr. Contreras as well. She explained everything in detail and made sure following procedures will run smoothly as well. Happy I decided to come to this office. Sometimes you get stuck in an office without exploring other options that could be better for you. I personally invite whoever is reading this review, to come to this office and check if they are what you have been looking for. They made a really good team. Thank you Neola Dental team!

As a medical professional I can say that this practice is top tier. They were so professional and nice. They weren’t judgmental and prices were fair ( went to a couple of other dental office to get prices). I Had a root canal and I didn’t feel a thing even the numbing injection. I wish all medical offices followed them on how to interact with patients. Me, my wife and brother in law will now be their clients.

I was so nervous and embarrassed because it had been years since my last teeth cleaning. The staff starting from the office assistant to the hygienist to the dentist were so welcoming, comforting, knowledgeable and empathetic that I soon relaxed and had a great dental experience. I would highly recommend them, and they have all the latest equipment as well!

This was me literally running to do a review.I can’t say enough great things about this dental office. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, respected, and genuinely cared for. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure I understood every step of the process—from the procedures being performed to the costs involved. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly and clearly, which really put me at ease.What impressed me most was how much they prioritized my comfort and understanding. At no point did I feel rushed or confused. They made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit and even provided referrals in case they weren’t able to fully address my situation, showing a level of professionalism and integrity that’s hard to find.This is more than just a dental office—it’s a team of compassionate professionals who truly care about their patients. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality dental care with a personal touch. Thank you again for making my experience such a positive one!Special mention to Natalie and Dr. C.

I’m 83 years old and been to many dentists in my time. Neola Dental was by far the best dentist experience I have encountered. I would highly recommend them to all.
