Sedation Dentistry in Raleigh
For more than 20 years, Dr. Dan Davidian and our team have specialized in caring for patients who have been avoiding the dentist. No lectures. No judgment. Just relief.
The Cost of Waiting
The Way Through
Sedation dentistry is the bridge between where you are and the mouth you want. You are not awake for the work. You do not remember it. You wake up, and it is done. Every sedated patient is continuously monitored throughout the visit. Safety first. Comfort second. Everything else after that.
Light, fast-acting calm where you stay aware throughout the visit.
A single pill that takes the edge off and helps you arrive relaxed.
Deep relaxation, often with no memory of the appointment afterward.
Fully asleep for the work when that is what you need to say yes.

What the Visit Looks Like
We will listen, not lecture. You tell us only as much as you are comfortable sharing.
We meet, talk through your sedation options together, and build a plan around your comfort level.
You arrive for your appointment, sleep through the work, and wake up to a healthier mouth and a quieter mind.
We also offer after-hours appointments for patients whose anxiety makes a regular office hour harder to face. Whatever it takes to get you in.
From Our Patients
As a certified dental phobic, I was frightened by the thought of dental treatment. The team walked me through the process, answered all my questions, and made me feel comfortable the entire time.
Sedation Dental Care has genuinely changed my life. I have severe dental phobia, but I am no longer anxious about going to the dentist thanks to their kindness, compassion, and patience.
I have severe anxiety with dental work but everyone in the office is so kind, wonderful and understanding. Dr. D did amazing work with the extractions and IV sedation.
We work with most major insurance providers and will walk through your coverage with you before any work begins. The conversation about cost should happen at the start, not as a surprise. Same-day and after-hours appointments are available when you are ready.
