Your Dental Sedation Options


We understand it’s not simply a matter of “getting over it” when it comes to dental anxiety. Perhaps you had a painful visit to a dentist when you were younger. Or maybe you get anxious in any medical or clinical setting.


Regardless of the cause behind your dental anxiety, we can help with dental sedation options. We offer three forms of dental sedation:


  • Inhaled sedation – just lay back and breathe in this gas through a small mask to melt away your concerns

  • Oral conscious sedation – about an hour before your visit, you’ll take this pill so you can arrive completely relaxed

  • IV sedation – this is the strongest form of sedation we offer and will vanquish your fears almost immediately

Relaxing Setting, Comfort Options


When you visit our gorgeous dental office, our friendly team will greet you with warm smiles and listen intently to your concerns to provide the best experience we can.

To make your experience more comfortable, we can give you the option of a private care room or a room with a view of our serene courtyard and fountain. We can also provide a variety of items to make your appointment more pleasant, including:


  • Warm blankets
  • Cozy pillows
  • Headphones with calming music

We can also provide longer visits by request so you won’t feel rushed!

Uptown Dental is a hidden gem! Nice offices and rooms. Staff at all levels are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. No one shamed me for not going to the dentist for 4 years. Treatments were painless. Streamlined billing process was done in minutes, including the insurance considerations. I can't recommend them more highly!

What a great 1st visit. I'm new to the area, and even upon calling staff was very friendly. When I arrived staff greeted me and I was taking back shortly after. I had a cleaning done by Kelly who was also friendly and listened to my concerns. Then I met with the Dr, again friendly. Professional and relaxing environment all around. So glad I found this place.

Maya was my hygienist today, and she was professional, gentle and knowledgeable. I had not been for a check up and cleaning since 2020, so was a little nervous. Dr. Martinez was also efficient and thorough through the last final phase of my cleaning. Overall I recommend this dental clinic in Albuquerque! Always a good experience.

I’ve been going to uptown for about 10 years now and I always feel like a valued patient! Recently I opted to get Invisalign and can’t be happier with the level of effort they take to make sure the results are perfect. The techs and my dentist have taken the time to address my concerns and answer my questions- I always leave feeling confident that I’m getting the best service Thank you Uptown dental Associates! I won’t go anywhere else!
