Sedation Dentistry
Sedation Dentistry in Miami Lakes
If the thought of going to the dentist makes you anxious—you’re not alone. Studies show that over 80% of adults experience some form of dental anxiety. At Oak Springs General & Cosmetic Family Dentistry, we offer safe and effective sedation options to help you feel calm and comfortable throughout your visit.
Led by Dr. Jose Talavera, who specializes in sedation dentistry, our team is dedicated to making your dental care experience as relaxed and stress-free as possible.
Why Sedation Dentistry?
Dental anxiety can stem from many sources: sensitive nerves, previous negative experiences, or the fear of pain. Unfortunately, this fear often leads people to delay or avoid the care they need.
Sedation dentistry makes it easier to:
- Relax before and during your procedure
- Minimize pain and physical discomfort
- Reduce sensitivity to sounds, smells, or sensations
- Complete multiple treatments in a single visit
- Maintain long-term oral health without fear or hesitation

What to Expect:
- Delivered through a small mask placed over your nose
- Begins working within minutes
- Produces a relaxed, pain-free state without unconsciousness
- Wears off quickly—most patients can resume normal activities and drive home after treatment
Unlike IV sedation or general anesthesia, nitrous oxide is ideal for patients with mild to moderate anxiety and does not require recovery time.
