Dental Sedation Specialists


It’s not uncommon to dislike visiting the dentist. Many people feel some anxiety when they have to go to the dentist, even for routine cleanings. In fact, nearly 20% of Americans avoid going to the dentist regularly due to anxiety.

Dental anxiety can usually be overcome, but it becomes a real concern when it keeps people from receiving the appropriate treatment to treat and preserve their teeth. At Greater Endodontics, we recognize dental anxiety and do everything possible to ensure our patients a painless and stress-free dental visit. We’re specialists in saving teeth, and our dentists work closely with dental sedation specialists and anesthesiologists to offer a variety of sedation options for all procedures.

Greater Endodontics Sedation Options

At Greater Endodontics, we provide a variety of options for dental sedation. Depending on your circumstance, health and dental procedure, our dental sedation specialists will determine which option is best.


This Valium-type drug that may be prescribed prior to your appointment. This medication allows you to come to the office feeling more relaxed and comfortable. Before your procedure, you should have a trusted friend or family member accompany you to drive you to and from the procedure. They should also stay with you for 4 hours afterwards to monitor for any negative side effects.

Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation commonly used in the dentistry world. Nitrous oxide is administered via a small mask that fits comfortably over the nose. Once your dosage is correct and you feel relaxed, we will begin your procedure. Once the procedure is over, the flow of nitrous oxide is stopped and pure oxygen is administered for a short period. Within minutes, you'll be able to sit up and resume normal activities. You may drive yourself home after your treatment as well.

Oral conscious sedation allows for a deeper, pain-free experience for your dental treatment/procedure. The patient simply takes a pill and remains awake during the procedure, able to respond to questions and commands, but in a heightened state of peace. Many patients who use oral sedation do not remember anything about their procedure. This type of sedation requires that you have a trustworthy friend or family member to drive you home from your treatment appointment and remain with you for 6 hours after the treatment.

IV sedation, or intravenous sedation, is administered through a needle into the vein. Sedation works quickly and is safe and effective in providing the most pain-free, comfortable, and relaxed dental treatment possible. A second practitioner who specializes in dental sedation will come to our office and sedate and monitor you for the duration of your endodontic root canal treatment. IV sedation requires a trustworthy friend or family member to drive you home from your treatment and remain with you for 6 hours after treatment.

Patients with dental anxiety don’t have to suffer from pain, dental damage, or worry about the long-lasting consequences from avoiding dental work. Instead, they can experience peace of mind knowing there are dental sedation specialists in Riverton at Greater Endodontics that can gently soothe them and allow them to receive the dental work they need.

Root canal went very well. The Dr. explained each step and was mindful of the effects on me. Would highly recommend this clinic for anyone.

Staff was very professional and friendly, they explained the procedure and the costs before the dentist started the work. The dentist and his assistant were very professional and they did my root canal very precise and fast.

I felt very well cared for. Everything was explained thoroughly so I understood what was happening. After the root canal, there was hardly any pain. I took the pain meds as indicated the first day but nothing after that. Highly recommended.

Dr. Larsen and Kelly were amazing! I had a bad infection and was in so much pain. I couldn’t tolerate any additional pain and Dr Larsen and Kelly listened to me without judgement.

Dr Rhett Casper is the best. He is gentle, kind, and explains everything. His main concern is that you are comfortable. He is very thorough and his work is the best.

What To Know Before And After Sedation


There are some things to consider about the aftermath of your dental sedation procedure, both for the patient and the responsible party caring for the patient after they leave our Greater Endodontics facility.

As the Patient

After sedation, it is normal to feel tired and sleep for several hours. You may only have a vague recollection of what transpired. Remember:

  • Do not drive a vehicle, operate machinery or make any important decisions for 24 hours.
  • Remember to drink plenty of fluids.
  • Eat soft foods that are easy to chew and digest.
  • Please review the written instructions and remember to take any prescribed medications. Call at any time with any questions.
  • If you experience difficulty breathing at any time, contact emergency medical services (911).

As the Responsible Party Caring for the Patient

A responsible person should be with the patient until they have fully recovered from the effects of sedation.

  • Patients may be asleep or may be alert when they leave. Attend to either alert or sleepy patients in the same manner.
  • Don't trust the patient alone.
  • Hold the patient's arm when walking, especially up/down the stairs and entering/exiting vehicles.
  • Please make sure the patient uses their seat belt on the ride home.
