Oral Sedation. A sedative pill taken by mouth, is safe, convenient and economical. When administered by a qualified dentist such as our dentist, Oral sedation can be more effective and deliver a deeper relaxation state than other forms of sedation. When you come for your free initial consultation, the dentist will review your medical history and will determine if oral sedation is the best sedation option for you.
The Oral Sedation Procedure
The procedure is simple. When you arrive for your treatment you will be given an oral sedative which will put you into a relaxed and comfortable state. You will be awake but very drowsy. The time you spend in the dentist's chair will feel like minutes. Before you know it, the procedure is over, and you will have little recollection of the entire experience.
Laughing Gas is one of the safest and the lightest forms of sedation available. It is non-allergenic and non-irritating. The gas also tends to reduce gag reflexes and saliva flow. Patients will feel totally relaxed during their treatment when sedated with laughing gas.
The Laughing Gas Sedation Procedure
A small mask will be placed over the patient’s nose and adjusted so that the patient is comfortable. At this time, the patient will be breathing 100% oxygen. The dentist will gradually introduce laughing gas. Once the patient feels completely relaxed, the procedure will begin.
At the conclusion of the sedation dentistry treatment, the patient will once again receive 100% oxygen (for a minimum of 3 - 5 min). At the end of this time, the person should feel back to normal.
IV Sedation or "Intravenous Sedation" is administered through a drug directly into a vein. IV Sedation is the most preferred and predictable method of sedation where deep sedation is desired. Profound state of relaxation and amnesia is achieved during IV sedation.
The IV Sedation Procedure
An extremely thin needle is inserted by our anesthesiologist into a vein close to the surface of the skin. IV drip consists of an anti-anxiety medication which puts the patient into a state of deep relaxation. Time will appear to pass very quickly and you will not recall much, or perhaps even nothing at all, of what happened.
A local anesthetic will also be administered in conjunction with this method of dental sedation. When you come for your free initial consultation, the dentist will review your medical history and will determine if IV sedation is the best sedation option for you.
During all sedation appointments, the blood pressure and pulse are continually monitored on our patients. In addition, we monitor the oxygen saturation levels of the blood with a pulse oximeter that gently clips onto the finger.

Great service and great people. Professional. I used them for me and my 6-yr old. They are good with kids too.
Dentistry of Bellevue is great! After 25 years my gold crown fell out one night and even though the practice was closed the next day, Dr Kharana came in the next morning just to fix it for me. Super nice folks and super efficient.
I never leave reviews, but wanted to leave one for this wonderful office! Of all the dentists I've had over the last few decades, I've never been as impressed as I have with Dentistry of Bellevue! From the moment I called and spoke to Audra at the front desk (who is amazing!), I immediately felt welcomed and was further surprised during my visits. Dr. Khurana and Traci were also very genuine, kind and honest! I highly recommend this dentistry and urge you to check them out! 😉

I have been a patient for over a year. I found this dentist simply by driving in my nebighorhood and I took a chance! I’m glad that I did. I’ve never been disappointed in the service I have received. I traditionally don’t like going to the dentist however, the atmosphere and comradery among patients and staff made me feel welcome and put me at ease. I have found the pricing to reasonable and very detailed.
