The first step in helping our patients overcome dental anxiety is creating a peaceful environment. To achieve this, we ensure that every aspect of your visit, from the friendly staff to the environment is calming and relaxing. In addition to offering you sedation options, We use noise-canceling headphones to block the sound of the tools used by the dentist. Dark glasses are also available to protect your eyes and keep you blissfully unaware of the procedure. After your treatment, a warm, lavender-scented towel will give you the blissful feeling that you have taken good care of yourself.
We are aiming to heighten your dental experience at every turn. This includes providing a wide variety of insurance and financing options for your convenience.

Minimally inhaled sedation uses nitrous oxide to help relax you. It is a colorless, non-flammable gas that produces an euphoric effect, hence the nickname, laughing gas.
A plastic mask will be placed over your nose and mouth. You will simply breathe normally as the gas fills the mask.
After the gas has taken effect, you will begin to feel relaxed, calm, and happy. The effects will wear off quickly so you’ll be able to go about your day after treatment.
No, the sedation process is completely painless. It’s as easy as breathing! You’ll simply inhale the sedative through the nose mask, no needles or syringes required at our San Francisco practice.
After Dr. Stein removes the facemask to begin your dental treatment, the effects will slowly start to wear off. By the time your procedure is complete, you will likely be feeling back to normal!
No one should have to compromise when it comes to their dental care – even those with dental anxiety! That is why we offer all of our patients complimentary minimally inhaled sedation.
