Sedation Dentistry in Eugene: A Stress-Free Dental Experience at Integrated Family Dentistry

For many people, just the thought of going to the dentist brings anxiety. Whether it’s due to a past experience, fear of pain, or general discomfort, dental visits can feel overwhelming.

At Integrated Family Dentistry in Eugene, Dr. Mercedes R. Del Valle, DDS, FAGD, offers Sedation Dentistry to make your experience smooth, comfortable, and free from stress. Our goal is to help you receive the care you need—without fear.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you feel calm and relaxed during your procedure. You’ll still receive high-quality care—but without the tension or worry.

We offer two types of sedation:

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

• Inhaled through a small mask over your nose
• Reduces anxiety while keeping you awake
• Wears off quickly—you can return to normal activities right away

Minimal Oral Sedation

• A prescription pill taken before your appointment
• Puts you in a deeply relaxed state—you may nap through your visit
• You remain aware but calm and may not remember the procedure
• You’ll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment

Who Can Benefit?

Sedation dentistry is ideal if you:

• Have dental anxiety or fear
• Need multiple or lengthy procedures
• Have a strong gag reflex
• Dislike sitting in the dental chair for long periods
• Have had past traumatic dental visits
