Oral Sedation
A simple pill before your appointment helps you relax deeply throughout your treatment. It’s perfect for patients with mild to moderate anxiety who want a calm, stress-free experience without feeling completely out of it.
We offer sedation in every room—even for cleanings. Whether it’s laughing gas or full IV sedation, we help you stay calm and comfortable from start to finish.
Get the care you need without the stress. With in-office payment plans and third-party financing, we make dental care accessible for every budget.
Enjoy your favorite show on Netflix, relax with a weighted blanket, and listen to calming music through wireless headphones—all while we take care of your smile.
With sedation, we can complete multiple treatments in one appointment. That means fewer visits, less disruption to your schedule, and a faster path to a healthier smile. Whether it’s fillings, implants, or a full smile makeover, we work efficiently without cutting corners.
Dr. Rickers believes that no one should dread going to the dentist. That’s why he designed Comprehensive Sedation Dental to feel nothing like a typical dental office. No matter what brings you here, we promise to treat you with dignity, empathy, and expert care.

You’re not alone. Dental anxiety is real—and it keeps many people from getting the care they need. At our Sandy, UT office, sedation dentistry changes everything. With the right sedation, you can stay calm, get more done in fewer visits, and finally take control of your oral health.
We’ll take time to understand your needs and health history. You’ll meet with Dr. Rickers or a team member to choose the best sedation option for your comfort and treatment goals.
You’ll be welcomed into a private treatment room with your preferred comfort items. We’ll guide you through the process, answer any last-minute questions, and begin when you’re ready.
Once sedation is administered, we’ll get to work while you stay calm and relaxed. Most patients report little to no memory of the procedure and feel like time passes quickly.
You’ll need someone to drive you home if you receive oral or IV sedation. We’ll send you with simple instructions and check in as needed. You’ll likely feel a little drowsy, but also at ease.

You deserve dental care that feels easy, calm, and judgment-free. That’s the heart of everything we do.
