Hospitality is
a pillar of our care.
We believe comfort and clinical excellence are not trade-offs. Hospitality is one of our main pillars of care. You will never feel rushed, pressured, or left to figure things out alone.
Whether you are here for a routine visit or a multi-step procedure, we meet you with concierge-level support, presence, and patience. Our sedation options are layered with nervous system-friendly amenities: warm-toned lighting, VR glasses, guided breathwork, and a team that genuinely listens.
For patients who have avoided the dentist for years, this is where you come back. On your terms. At your pace.

The right level of calm for every visit.
We offer multiple levels of sedation and make recommendations based on your health, preferences, and level of anxiety. Whether you are here for a simple cleaning or a full-mouth procedure, we guide you toward the safest and most supportive option.

Nitrous (Laughing Gas)
+
Light, fast-acting, and ideal for cleanings, fillings, and shorter visits. You feel calm and relaxed without going to sleep, and the effects wear off within minutes, so you can drive yourself home afterward.
Oral Conscious Sedation
+
Prescription medication taken before your appointment helps you feel deeply relaxed and less aware of sensations or time. You stay conscious but may not remember much about your visit. A ride home is required.
IV Sedation
+
For surgical or extended procedures, IV sedation offers a sleep-like experience with no memory of treatment. Administered and monitored by a licensed anesthesiologist for complete safety and comfort.
Comfort Amenities & Non-Sedation Support
+
For patients who prefer to avoid medication, we layer comfort through VR glasses, guided breathwork, ambient lighting, weighted blankets, and a care team trained in trauma-informed communication. Sometimes the right environment is all you need.
Is sedation dentistry right for you?
Fear should never keep you from the care you need. Our practice is built for you if you:
Feel dental anxiety from past trauma and need a different kind of experience
Have delayed dental visits for years and are ready to begin again
Are about to undergo full-mouth or multi-step treatment and want to feel calm
Need oral surgery or multiple procedures completed in one visit
Want care, compassion, and a plan designed for your peace of mind
More than a cleaning. A health strategy.
Most dental practices treat preventive care as routine. At Smile House, it's where your whole-body health story begins. Every visit is connected to your Mouth Mapping® profile, giving your team insight that grows deeper over time.

Will I be completely asleep during treatment?
.png){kind=small}
Only if you choose IV sedation. With nitrous oxide or oral sedation, you remain conscious and able to respond, but you will feel calm and more comfortable throughout. These lighter options are ideal if you want to relax without being fully unconscious.
Is dental sedation safe?
Yes, when administered by trained professionals in a clinical setting. All sedation is delivered or overseen by licensed dental providers and medical anesthesiologist partners. We thoroughly review your health history and preferences before recommending a plan.
How long does recovery take?
Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes and you commute home. Oral sedation requires a few hours of rest and a ride home. IV sedation requires an escort home and monitoring for the rest of the day. We provide clear written instructions tailored to your procedure.
Can I use sedation for cleanings or exams?
Absolutely. We offer sedation even for basic visits if anxiety, trauma, or sensory sensitivity makes the experience difficult. Your comfort and sense of control always come first, and we will build a plan that respects your needs and moves at your pace.
