Sedation is the difference between avoiding the dentist for years and finally getting the work done. In LA, nitrous oxide adds $50 to $200 to a visit, oral sedation $250 to $600, and IV sedation $500 to $1,000 per hour, with the last requiring extra permits that not every office holds. The practices below are the ones whose reviews specifically mention anxious patients being treated with patience rather than being rushed through.
464 LA practices offer sedation dentistry, ranked below by rating and review volume.
Typical LA range: $50, $1,000 · added to treatment cost

Nitrous oxide typically adds $50 to $200, oral sedation $250 to $600, and IV sedation $500 to $1,000 per hour on top of the dental work itself. Insurance rarely covers sedation for routine care, so ask for the sedation line as a separate written number when comparing quotes.
Nitrous works for mild nerves and wears off before you drive home. Oral sedation suits moderate anxiety and longer visits but needs a ride. IV sedation fits severe phobia, long surgical cases and strong gag reflexes, and requires an office with the proper permit. Describe your worst appointment honestly and a good office will match the level to it.
