Dr. Pfister and the team are awesome. I am definitely not a fan of going to the dentist (from some childhood bad experiences a million years ago), and they are patient, kind and understanding. They help me get through it and after I say to myself...that wasn't so bad! Dr. Pfister is caring and genuinely concerned. He even called me the next day to see how I was doing etc etc. Couldn't be happier with him and the whole office.

Kind, understanding, professional staff who relieved my anxiety and examined me thoroughly, THEN came up with a comprehensive and reasonably priced plan to redeem my mouth. I have been through some dental brutality in the past and I feel confident I will be treated with care and respect in the restoration of my long neglected dental health.

Comprehensive Options
Types of Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous Oxide
Item Subtitle
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is offered free of charge with any dental treatment. The gas is breathed in through a mask and delivers a temporary feeling of euphoria. The effects of the gas fade once the mask is removed and the patient starts breathing regular oxygen, so you can drive immediately afterward.
Oral Sedation
Item Subtitle
Oral conscious sedation is prescribed in pill form and taken before your dental visit. It leaves you with a relaxed, drowsy feeling throughout your procedure. This method does require that you have a friend or family member take you to and from your appointment at our New Hartford practice. Oral sedation also comes with an added fee of $350.
IV Sedation
Item Subtitle
IV sedation is the deepest level of sedation available and is typically recommended for extensive dental work or severe anxiety. Sedation drugs are administered intravenously, allowing you to sleep through your treatment and awaken with no memory of it. We work with an IV nurse to make this option even safer for our dental patients.
Like oral sedation, IV sedation requires that a friend or relative accompany you to and from your dentistry appointment, and it comes with an added fee of $450. We will check with your insurance provider to see if the costs of sedation are covered by your plan.
Is Sedation Safe?
/
Yes. During your initial consultation, your dentist will discuss your medical history and inquire about why you want sedation. Be honest with your dentist about your health and inform him of any medications you're taking so he can determine the safest sedation option for you. Your safety is our top priority so you will be carefully monitored by our dental team throughout treatment. We will do everything we can to keep you comfortable.
Sedation Dentistry Makes Dental Care Easier
We understand dental care can be a major source of anxiety for some. Our New Hartford office can provide you with sedation dentistry for a wide variety of procedures, including:
