About Sedation Dentistry
IV conscious sedation is a safe and effective option that helps patients feel deeply relaxed during dental treatment. While you’ll remain aware enough to respond to instructions, many patients find that time seems to pass quickly and their procedure is over before they realise it. This advanced sedation option is only available at licensed practices, and at Plaza Dental in Urbandale, our team is proud to offer this level of care to help make your visit as comfortable and stress free as possible.
Sedation dentistry is not only helpful for patients who feel nervous about visiting the dentist. It can also be beneficial if you have a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, difficulty responding to numbing agents, or if you would like to complete multiple procedures in a single visit. Whatever your needs, our team at Plaza Dental is here to help you receive the care you need in a calm and comfortable environment.
Dr. Ryan Langel gave me a beautiful smile by replacing my upper teeth with white, perfect crowns. The process was easy and painless and I am delighted with the results. I can smile again and am thrilled with the results. Dr. Langel and the Plaza Dental Group are the people to see for a dazzling smile.

Oral Sedation
For patients who prefer a lighter form of relaxation, oral sedation can be an excellent option. Taken as a pill before your appointment, this type of sedation helps you feel calm and at ease throughout your visit. You’ll remain awake and aware, but feelings of anxiety or nervousness are significantly reduced.
Oral sedation is often ideal for patients who feel uneasy about dental treatment or for shorter, less complex procedures. At Plaza Dental in Urbandale, our team carefully monitors your comfort and safety so you can enjoy a relaxed and stress free dental experience.
General Anesthesia
For the most comprehensive level of sedation, general anesthesia may be recommended. This approach is typically reserved for extensive or complex procedures, such as multiple extractions or significant oral surgeries. Under general anesthesia, you will be completely asleep and unaware of the procedure, allowing treatment to be completed efficiently and comfortably.
At Plaza Dental in Urbandale, patient safety is always our top priority. Our team carefully monitors you throughout your visit to ensure your experience is smooth, safe, and as comfortable as possible.
