Sedation Dentistry And Our Comfort Menu Make Every Visit Relaxing

If just thinking about the dentist makes your stomach drop, you’re not alone. Studies show up to 80% of Americans experience dental anxiety—and for many, fear is the reason they delay care until there's pain or a crisis.

At Jeffrey L. Cohen, DDS, we offer something different: a judgment-free space, three types of sedation dentistry, and an entire comfort menu designed to calm your body and mind.

Whether you’ve avoided the dentist for 6 months or 16 years, you are safe here.

Nap Through Your Appointment. Wake Up With a Healthier Smile.

From routine cleanings to dental implants or full-mouth restorations, sedation allows us to take care of years of dental work in just one visit—while you sleep peacefully through the entire experience.

How Sedation Dentistry Works

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Perfect for mild anxiety, nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask during your visit. You’ll feel light, calm, and relaxed—yet fully awake. Effects wear off quickly, so you can drive yourself home afterward.

Oral Conscious Sedation

For patients with moderate anxiety, we may prescribe a pill to take before your appointment. You’ll feel drowsy and calm—some patients even drift off—but you’ll still be able to respond to gentle cues. You will have little to no memory of the procedure.  You will need someone to drive you to the appointment and drive you home.

IV Sedation with an In-House Anesthesiologist

For those with severe dental phobia or those needing extensive treatment in one visit, our in-office IV sedation is ideal. Administered and monitored by our experienced anesthesiologist, IV sedation puts you into a sleep-like state. Many patients don’t remember a thing—and that’s exactly how they like it.  You will need someone to drive you to the appointment and drive you home.

Who Benefits From Sedation Dentistry?

You may be a great candidate if you:

  • Have dental anxiety or phobia
  • Have a strong gag reflex
  • Need multiple or lengthy procedures
  • Had traumatic past dental experiences
  • Want to be fully relaxed during your visit
  • Struggle with numbing or sensitivity
  • Avoid cleanings or exams due to fear or embarrassment

We Make Dental Visits Feel Like Self-Care

This isn’t just a dentist appointment. With our comfort-first approach and sedation options, you’ll feel like you’re being cared for, not “worked on.” Many of our patients say, “I wish I’d done this years ago.”

So if you’re ready to experience dental care differently, we’re ready to help.
