What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is performed for dental procedures for anxious patients by administering medications to help them relax. Many patients avoid getting the required dental help because of their fear of the dentist. Sedation dentistry is performed to ensure that nervous patients enjoy healthy mouths and teeth.

What are the types of dental sedation?

The different types of dental sedation are; inhalation sedation, for patients requiring mild sedation also called anxiolysis; oral sedation, by asking patients to swallow a pill; TENS, using electrical impulses to numb the area; topical anaesthesia, using a swab to numb the area; or intra-venous sedation, for patients requiring moderate sedation and general anaesthesia for patients requiring deep sedation. General anaesthesia is used for patients only in a hospital and not in a dentist chair.

Is Sedation Dentistry painful?

Oral sedation, inhalation sedation, TENS and topical sedation are not painful. Intra-venous sedation and general anaesthesia need to be injected and patients may feel pain when the sedative is injected.

When can I travel by air after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should travel by air two days after sedation dentistry. They should take the advice of their dentist before embarking on their journey.   

How long does recovery after Sedation Dentistry take?

Recovery from dental sedation takes between 40 to 90 minutes. Recovery depends on the type of sedation administered.  

What after care is required after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should rest for at least three hours after sedation dentistry. They should not eat for at least four hours, until the anaesthesia wears off. They should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should resume work at least one day after sedation dentistry. They should not smoke or drink alcohol for at least two days after sedation dentistry. They should follow all dietary prescriptions given by their dentist correctly.

Urzola Dentistry - Dental Clinic in Costa RicaFeatured

He took the time to explain everything thoroughlySamantha, US, 06 08 25

A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Esteban Urzola and His Exceptional Team in Costa Rica Traveling from South Florida to Costa Rica for dental work was a decision I did not make lightly, especially as someone who is truly dental phobic. But from the moment I walked into Dr. Esteban Urzola’s clinic, every fear and hesitation began to dissolve. Dr. Urzola is not only a remarkably skilled professional but a deeply compassionate human being. I underwent multiple extractions and implants—procedures that would typically leave me riddled with complete anxiety—but he approached each step with an extraordinary level of gentleness, patience, and care. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, never rushing, and always ensuring I felt safe and informed. His bedside manner is unmatched, and his confidence and precision put me completely at ease. But this review would be incomplete without highlighting two truly wonderful members of his team: Cristina, the coordinator, and Beatriz, the warm and attentive dental concierge. Cristine was my guiding light from day one—organizing everything seamlessly, answering all my questions, and providing ongoing support throughout my treatment. Beatriz made me feel welcome every single day, as though I were part of a family rather than just a patient. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern for my comfort and well-being were beyond anything I have ever experienced in a medical setting. The rest of the staff also deserves praise—they are friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about the work they do. The entire team works together like a well-oiled machine, with an atmosphere of calm, dignity, and kindness that sets this clinic apart. And then, there’s the pricing. Compared to the astronomical costs quoted by U.S. dentists, the fairness and transparency of Dr. Urzola’s rates were astonishing. Not only did I receive top-tier, world-class care, but I did so without the financial burden that so often comes with quality dental work in the United States. I will be recommending Dr. Urzola and his team to anyone I know in need of dental care—especially those who are fearful or have had poor experiences elsewhere. This clinic has changed the way I see dentistry entirely. They gave me not just a healthier smile, but a renewed trust in what compassionate care can look like. With deepest gratitude, Samantha W. A grateful patient from South Florida
