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.

I was in Bellevue , Wa. visiting my sister and had a filling fall out! I called Dentistry of Bellevue and they got me right in and fixed my tooth. The staff was really nice and the price was less than I would have paid here is Ca! Thanks dentistry of Bellevue for your kindness and great service.
Dentistry of Bellevue is by far the most comfortable dental office Ive ever been to hands down. I live in Puyallup and the drive is a bit out of the way but well worth it. The atmosphere is relaxing always clean and the staff is friendly and professional. Dr. K does excellent quality work and goes out of his way to treat you like family. Definitely would recommend Dentistry of Bellevue to anyone looking for a great dental office!
I have been going to Dentistry if Bellevue for a few years now and my teeth have completely transformed. I am so thankful for them and the service they provide. Audra is always very sweet and gets my appointments set up for next time. Thank you guys for making the dental experience as great as it can be 😉 I highly recommend them!
This office has a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I had a really great experience with Dr. Khurana and his staff. The office is really clean and tidy highly recommend to come here!
This doctor is pretty amazing, I also was pretty impressed with these multivitamins that they are unique to this Clinic, they are oral health vitamins. I've been taking them for about 4 months and the difference is noticeable. They also help me find a supplemental dental insurance with my Medicaid. They also provided digital x-rays, which many places are still not using yet. The location is very convenient for me and Bellevue, I will continue to come here and also bring my mother and my sister-in-law and my wife and kids
These are great especially Kim and Amber and Audra. Competent caring and effective Kim is the best hygienist I've had
I have been going here for 6 years, and always love the ladies at the front desk.... Audra takes the time have a friendly conversation and is super helpful with any questions. I do not think I have ever been seen late, and always out within an hour! Cleanings are done gently and the dentist is quick but thorough. Thanks for keeping my smile bright and happy.
