Sedation Dentistry for Implants & Extractions in South OC
San Juan Capistrano, CA
For many patients, the thought of dental surgery—especially tooth extractions or dental implants—can be intimidating. At Kaban Dental Group in San Juan Capistrano, we hear from patients across Dana Point, Mission Viejo, San Clemente, and Aliso Viejo who want to know: “Will I feel pain during the procedure?”
The good news: with modern sedation dentistry, we can make implants and extractions far more comfortable, safe, and stress-free.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses safe, controlled medications to help you relax during treatment. Levels of sedation can range from:
Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”) – light sedation, quick recovery
Oral Sedation – a pill taken before the procedure, provides moderate relaxation
IV Sedation – deeper sedation administered by a specialist, often used for surgical cases
Why Sedation Helps with Implants & Extractions
Reduces Anxiety – helps patients who fear dental surgery or needles
Improves Comfort – minimizes awareness of sounds, pressure, or drilling
Allows Efficiency – longer or multiple procedures can be done in one sitting
Encourages Healing – patients feel less stressed, which can support recovery
