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.

Dr Urzola, Christina, Beatriz, are very caring and supportive. I accompanied a friend there. I was hoping to get an estimate so I could save to get the work done next year. Before I knew it I was scheduled for my first phase that week! Dr Urzola took all the time I needed to understand his proposal. I am back in the US healing and can’t wait to return for my final phase! Thank you so much Urzola Dentistry! See you in a few months!

What truly sets this team apart is their passion for their work, which goes beyond financial motivaAleksandr, US, 09 04 25

Dr. Josef Cordero and his wife, Dr. Telma Rubinstein, bring nearly half of century of experience to their dental practice. Their daughter, Dr. Nadine Cordero contributes unstoppable energy to the team. They are supported by other dedicated members, including Dr. Coraline Nunes, Dr. Roberto Hernandes and Dr. Alejandro Montero. What truly sets this team apart is their passion for their work, which goes beyond financial motivation. In our opinion, this is one of the best dental family businesses in the world. With modern equipment and dental lab inside what can be done in U.S. for years, in Dr. Cordero's office can be done in days with better quality and around a half of the U.S. crazy prices. My wife and I highly recommend them. Our review is based not only on our own opinion, but also on the options of other patients who we interacted with while getting treatment there for one week in April 2025.

Costa Rica Dental Team - Upper crowns to fix aesthetics

Costa Rica Dental Team

Thank you for the great serviceDerek, US, 11 03 25

I have been to many dentists across different continents, but my experience with Costa Rica Dental Team was the most amazing I have ever had. I had a lot of work done—five crowns, an old root canal cleaned out, a metal filling removed and replaced with a white filling, and a piece of an old extraction removed. I was in the chair for four and a half hours with zero pain, and believe me, I have a phobia of needles. Dr. Jessica Mora was the best dentist I have ever seen. Four days later, I had my crowns fitted with no adjustments needed. Her meticulous approach to setting the crowns was incredible. Jessica literally X-rayed my crowns more than 25 times in just 15 minutes to ensure every crown was perfect—she wouldn’t settle for anything less than absolute perfection. I will never have major dental work done in the USA again. I have already recommended Costa Rica Dental Team to friends and family, and believe me, it's worth the trip—the cost in the USA would have been astronomical. Thank you for the great service.
