If visiting the dentist makes you or your child feel anxious, you’re not alone. At Ocean Vibe Dental, we want every patient to feel calm, safe, and comfortable. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry in Fort Myers, FL—a gentle way to make dental care stress-free.

Dr. Alexandra Zabala provides sedation options tailored to each patient’s needs, whether it’s a child’s first filling, an adult undergoing a longer procedure, or anyone who simply feels nervous about dental care. And because Dr. Zabala is fluent in both English and Spanish, she ensures families feel fully informed and supported.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses safe, controlled medication to help patients relax during dental treatment. Depending on your needs, sedation can range from light relaxation to deeper levels of calmness, allowing us to complete treatment comfortably and efficiently.

Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation may be right for you or your child if you:

  • Experience dental anxiety or fear
  • Struggle with a strong gag reflex
  • Need multiple treatments in one visit
  • Have difficulty sitting still for long appointments
  • Require complex or surgical procedures

Our goal is to remove barriers to care, so you never have to avoid the dentist because of fear or discomfort.

Sedation Options at Ocean Vibe Dental

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

  • Inhaled through a small mask
  • Creates a calm, relaxed feeling while keeping patients awake and responsive
  • Wears off quickly, so you can resume normal activities right away

Oral Sedation

  • Taken in pill or liquid form before the appointment
  • Helps patients feel drowsy, calm, and less aware of their surroundings
  • Effects last longer than nitrous oxide, so you’ll need a ride home afterward

 IV Sedation (for advanced cases)

  • Provides a deeper level of relaxation
  • Recommended for complex treatments or patients with severe anxiety
  • Closely monitored by trained professionals for safety

  • Use carefully controlled dosages tailored to each patient
  • Monitor you or your child closely throughout the entire procedure
  • Partner with specialists when advanced sedation is required

You can feel confident knowing Dr. Zabala and our team have the training and technology to keep you safe.
