Dr. Blankenship-Sniker has designed her office in a way that creates a soothing feeling from the moment you walk in the door. You’ll find that our approach to anxiety relief works for everyone, including patients with special needs or sensory sensitivities.
You or your loved one can relax in our cozy chairs while wrapped in a calming weighted blanket. Our sensory pillows offer additional comfort and support. We can even adjust our lighting to your preference, creating a softer, more comfortable atmosphere. You can also take advantage of headphones or dark glasses to block out sights and sounds that you find stressful.
You may also benefit from sedation. Your dentist offers options that are suitable for children, people with special needs, and anyone with anxiety. You can schedule a hospital appointment if sedation is a necessary component for care:
Oral Sedation – You’ll take this prescribed medication before your appointment. It creates a deep sense of relaxation while you remain conscious. It helps lessen anxiety and reduce any memory of procedures. The effects last several hours, so you’ll need someone to drive you home.
Laughing Gas – Also known as nitrous oxide, this type of sedation takes effect quickly and wears off fast. You’ll experience a light, floaty feeling. It’s suitable for all types of patients, including children. It will be safe for you to drive home afterward.
Whether you need minimal support or maximum comfort, you will feel secure and relaxed throughout your visit. If there are other ways we can support you or a loved one during your procedure, simply let our team know. We want you to get the care you need without any added stress.

Common Questions About Sedation Options
Does sedation dentistry work for most patients? +–
Over the years, we have found that most patients respond well to our sedation options. If you tend to suffer from dental anxiety, we have a sedation method that will work for you. Our goal is to help you relax as much as possible so you can get the care your smile needs. We’ll do our best to make sure your procedure is completely pleasant.
Are your sedation options safe? +–
Yes, dental sedation is completely safe, especially in the hands of our competent and trained team. There should be nothing to worry about when you choose to be sedated for your procedure. We’ll monitor you during and after your procedure to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible and you don’t feel any discomfort.
Can I eat or drink before sedation? +–
It’s important to follow specific guidelines regarding eating and drinking before sedation. If you’re receiving laughing gas (nitrous oxide), you can usually have a light meal a few hours prior. However, for oral sedation and IV sedation, we will typically ask you to fast for a longer period, usually 6 to 8 hours before your procedure. Following these instructions is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the sedation and your safety.
