Relax comfortably during dental treatments with safe, effective sedation tailored to your needs.
Schedule Now
Are you the type of person who procrastinates when it comes to scheduling dental visits or even avoids them altogether? If you are, you aren’t alone, but it’s important to understand a few facts. The first is that many dental issues can be easily fixed if you seek immediate treatment. Unfortunately, that means that simple dental problems can eventually require more extensive and expensive treatment. The second fact is that Dr. Rod Gleave provides a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere that when paired with a range of sedation options will keep you relaxed and pain-free throughout your appointment. With one visit, he’ll completely change your outlook on dental care. Dr. Gleave has been keeping patients calm, comfortable, and healthy for more than 30 years with sedation dentistry in Salt Lake City, UT!
For patients who experience dental anxiety or need more extensive treatment, sedation options can help make your visit comfortable and stress-free. Dr. Gleave offers several types of sedation, each tailored to your needs and the complexity of your procedure.
Commonly called “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is inhaled through a nasal mask. It helps you stay relaxed and comfortable while remaining alert and responsive. The effects wear off quickly after treatment, allowing you to drive yourself home safely.
Oral sedation is taken as a pill before your appointment to reduce anxiety during treatment. You remain conscious but deeply relaxed, making it easier to undergo procedures such as dental implants with minimal stress and discomfort.
IV sedation, also called “sleep sedation,” is administered through an IV for moderate procedures or full-mouth treatments. It induces a sleep-like, anxiety-free state, and most patients have little to no memory of the procedure. A companion is required to bring you to and from your appointment.

Sleep apnea is a problem for many people, though they may not even know it. If members of your household say you snore at night, this could mean you’re facing bigger health issues caused by sleep apnea.
