Choosing the Right Sedation Level for Your Visit
Every patient’s comfort needs are unique. During your consultation at our Lee’s Summit clinic, we match you with the sedation level that best fits your anxiety and procedure type.
For Moderate-to-Severe Phobia: Oral Conscious Sedation
For patients undergoing complex dental work or those with deep-seated dental anxiety, oral conscious sedation offers a state of profound relaxation.
The Experience: You take a prescribed pill prior to your appointment. You remain conscious and able to respond to our team, but you will feel entirely relaxed and drowsy.
Key Advantage: Time passes quickly, and most Lee’s Summit patients retain virtually no memory of the sight, sound, or detail of the procedure once complete.
Driver Required: Because oral sedatives remain in your system for several hours, a trusted friend or family member must drive you to and from our 3555 NE Ralph Powell Rd office.
For Mild Nervousness & Fast Recovery: Nitrous Oxide ("Laughing Gas")
If you simply feel slightly nervous or are having a shorter procedure, nitrous oxide provides fast, controllable relief.
The Experience: Inhaled gently through a comfortable nose piece, nitrous oxide rapidly induces a warm, calm sensation within minutes.
Key Advantage: The moment your treatment ends and oxygen is administered, the effects dissipate immediately. You can safely drive yourself home or return to work in Lee’s Summit without any lingering grogginess.
For Extreme Phobia & Complex Surgical Work: IV Sedation
For Jackson County patients who experience profound dental anxiety or require multi-stage procedures like extractions or implants, IV sedation provides the deepest level of conscious relaxation available in a dental practice setting.
Immediate Relief: Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation allows Dr. Dostal and Dr. Andreas to precisely manage your relaxation level in real time.
Complete Amnesic Effect: You remain capable of responding to light touch or safety prompts, but you will sleep through the treatment and remember nothing about the sounds, smells, or details of the procedure.
Full On-Site Safety Monitoring: Conducted entirely at our Ralph Powell Rd clinic with dedicated vital sign monitoring from start to finish.
Comprehensive Patient Safety & Vital Monitoring
Your peace of mind is central to our clinical approach. During any sedated procedure at our Ralph Powell Rd facility:
Continuous Vital Checks: Trained clinical staff continuously track blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels throughout your appointment.
Pre-Treatment Medical Screenings: Dr. Dostal and Dr. Andreas thoroughly review your health history and current prescriptions to verify sedation safety.
Dedicated One-on-One Care: Our team remains at your chairside from the moment sedation begins until you are fully cleared to head home.

Oral sedation effects typically last for several hours after your appointment. You must have a driver bring you to our Lee’s Summit office and take you home. You should plan to rest for the remainder of the day and resume driving the following morning.
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill prior to your appointment, which creates a relaxed, drowsy state over 30 to 45 minutes.
