Sedation Dentistry
An estimated 9-20% of Americans avoid getting the dental care they need because of anxiety or fear. Fortunately, there are many ways to relieve dental anxiety! First and foremost, please feel free to communicate your fears with us and we will be happy to discuss them with you, and adapt our approach as necessary. Other great tips include choosing a low-stress appointment time, bringing headphones and music, and practicing relaxation techniques and breathing. For our most anxious patients, we are happy to offer several comfortable and simple sedation services here at Weekend Emergency Dental.
Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide)
Known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide has pain-relieving and anxiety-reducing properties and often leads to feelings of euphoria and extreme relaxation. When using nitrous oxide as a sedative, we carefully adjust the precise amount required for each patient and procedure. When used alone, patients can typically head out the door immediately after their appointment due to its short-lived effects. However, when used in combination with sleep sedation, patients require someone to drive them home as well as supervision for 24 hours after the procedure.
Dental anxiety or fear of pain should never keep you from receiving urgent emergency care or essential dental treatments. Located at 209 S O'Connor Rd #101 in Irving, TX (75060), Weekend Emergency Dental offers safe, relaxing sedation dentistry solutions administered by experienced practitioners Dr. Kwon and Dr. Choi. Operating on both Saturdays and Sundays, our modern practice provides mild to moderate sedation options—including nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") and oral conscious sedation—to help patients remain completely calm and comfortable during emergency extractions, root canals, dental implants, or routine procedures.
​
As an independent fee-for-service practice, we focus on patient-centered care without the delays, restrictions, or coverage limits imposed by PPO insurance networks. Although we do not contract directly with PPO plans, our administrative team provides detailed, itemized superbills that you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement. To make sedation options and comprehensive treatments stress-free and manageable for patients across Irving, Las Colinas, Arlington, West Dallas, and Grand Prairie, we offer flexible pay-over-time financing options through four top lenders: Cherry, Sunbit, CareCredit, and Alphaeon.
​
Whether you have a sensitive gag reflex, complex dental needs, low pain tolerance, or severe dental phobia, Dr. Kwon and Dr. Choi tailor sedation levels to your unique medical history and comfort preferences. Experience fear-free dental care over the weekend alongside our Emergency Patient Visit Special for quick evaluations. For gentle sedation dentistry in Irving, call 972-457-0159 or walk into our clinic during weekend operating hours.
