Sedation Dentistry in Boca Raton
If anxiety keeps you from getting the dental care you need, nitrous oxide sedation can help. At Mateo Dental, we offer this safe, effective option for just $20 to help you feel calm and at ease during your visit. Commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is administered through a small mask and begins working within minutes. It helps you stay relaxed throughout your appointment, whether you’re here for a routine cleaning or a more involved procedure. You’ll be fully awake and able to respond, and best of all, the effects wear off quickly, so you can return to your day immediately.

What to Expect
When you arrive for your appointment, we’ll review your health history and explain how nitrous oxide works. A small, comfortable mask will be placed over your nose, and you’ll breathe in the odorless gas. Within minutes, you’ll begin to feel calm, light, and at ease. Some patients describe it as a warm or floating sensation.
You’ll remain fully awake and able to respond, but your anxiety will diminish. Once your treatment is complete, we’ll remove the mask and let you breathe regular oxygen for a few minutes. The effects wear off quickly, so you can safely drive yourself home and continue with your day as normal.
