Anxiety about dental procedures is common, but we believe you shouldn’t have to suffer or avoid the care you need because of it. Our safe and proven sedation dentistry options allow you to maintain your oral health in a way that works for you.

Our team takes the time to listen carefully to your concerns and identify your oral health needs. We’ll work with you every step of the way to determine what type of sedation dentistry will be the best fit for you.

• Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”) – The most commonly used method for calming patients in the dental office, nitrous oxide “laughing gas” is combined with oxygen and breathed in through the nose while your dental work is being completed. 

• Oral Conscious Sedation – If you want deeper sedation than laughing gas can offer, oral conscious sedation may be perfect for you. This approach uses a combination of medications to keep you relaxed during your entire visit. A sedative taken the night before your appointment helps you get a good night’s rest and another is taken an hour before your appointment and given in the office as needed to keep you relaxed. Other than keeping you comfortable, a major benefit is having little, if any, memory of your time in the dental chair.

• General Anesthesia – Some patients need a deeper level of sedation than the previous options provide. When this is the case, we have a trusted dental anesthesiologist specialist that comes into our office to administer general anesthesia and monitor the patient throughout the appointment. This is a particularly optimal approach for very young children, those with handicaps, and patients with high levels of anxiety as it allows us to provide treatment in our office and avoid a hospital visit for dentistry performed under anesthesia.

In every service we provide, we are committed to using the latest in dental technology, the most advanced techniques, and the best materials.

I have been beyond pleased with Nashville Restorative Dentistry! It’s more than just a dentist experience there, the staff is incredible and I actually enjoy my visits! They are very conscious of how you feel during, before and after your appointment. I’ve had the pleasure of being a patient of Eric’s a few times now and he is genuinely in it for his patients. He has taken great care of me as well as Dr. Estes and Dr. Jones. Both doctors were very thorough with every procedure they have done. I had a lot to be done and I am happy with it all and confident it is was all done correctly and safely. Even the office staff is amazing!!! You will leave better than you came guaranteed! I am so thankful I have found Nashville Restorative Dentistry.

This is an exceptional practice. My wife and I drove 3 hours for appointments because of a specialized service they offer. What we discovered was an above and beyond, friendly, and professional staff that went out of their way to make us comfortable and healthy. They have the equipment, staff and facilities for services both routine and specialized. The Covid-19 protocols were spot-on. Dr. Jones is professional, friendly and easy to talk to. I could do a whole review on Betsy alone, who couldn’t have been nicer or better at her job. In spite of the 3 hour drive, we will definitely be returning.

Extremely impressed with their office! I had some really intense pain that was not improving on a daily basis and they did everything they could to get me in sooner. Cami and Kathleen both were incredibly helpful and supportive from day 1 - all of them feel like family! Betsy was so sweet and really helped me understand everything they were doing and why. I’m a firm believer in the whole body approach - and they fully support that as well. Dr Jones was understanding and thorough, and reassured me that they can assist with my issues. Highly recommend!
