At Rock Creek Dental, dental visits can be stressful for some patients. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry, helping you feel relaxed and at ease during treatment. Our dentists will work with you to determine the best sedation option for your needs, and we also have a board-certified anesthesiologist available to ensure your safety and comfort.
Our Sedation Options

- A mild sedative inhaled through a mask
- Helps ease anxiety while keeping you fully aware
- Wears off quickly so you can safely drive home after your appointment
IV Sedation
- Administered directly into the bloodstream for deeper relaxation
- You remain conscious but may not remember details of the procedure
- Requires a designated driver to take you home after treatment
General Anesthesia
- Induces full sleep for pain-free treatment
- Often combined with local anesthesia for maximum comfort
- Requires someone to drive you home and stay with you afterward
