Sedation Dentistry in Chicago
Relax through your dental visits with safe, effective sedation options tailored to your comfort.

Dental anxiety is more common than you think—and at Emergency Dentist of Chicago, we believe fear should never come between you and the care you need. Our sedation dentistry services are designed for patients who feel nervous, fearful, or uncomfortable during dental procedures. Whether you need an emergency treatment or a routine procedure, we ensure your visit is calm, smooth, and stress-free.
We offer multiple sedation options based on your needs and the complexity of the treatment. For mild anxiety, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is a fast-acting and easily controlled option that helps you stay relaxed but alert. For deeper relaxation, we offer oral conscious sedation, which is taken before your appointment to help you feel at ease. In complex or more involved cases, we can also coordinate IV sedation, administered and monitored by trained professionals.
Sedation doesn’t just reduce anxiety—it can also make long or complex procedures feel like they pass in minutes. Many patients don’t remember the procedure at all and feel less soreness afterward. You’re never alone in deciding what’s right for you; we walk you through the options and ensure you’re informed every step of the way.
