What Dental Sedation Can Do For You
Dr. Greaves & Dr. Shepherd have both undergone thorough training and have over a decade of combined experience in administering dental sedation to relieve your dental anxiety and provide comfort throughout your visit.
Maybe you had a bad experience at the dental office as a child. Some people even know they need dental care but do not seek it out because they fear judgment.
No matter the cause, dental sedation can help put you at ease. Most of our patients only remember a pleasantly foggy impression of their entire visit!
Thanks to advances in modern dentistry and the use of dental sedation, most treatments can be virtually pain-free! You should also know our office is a guilt-free zone – our compassionate team will never make you feel judged.
Your Dental Sedation Options
Because every patient’s dental anxiety is unique, we give you choices when it comes to relieving your stress. Our Albuquerque, NM dental office offers three dental sedation options.
Inhaled sedation is a gas mixed with oxygen that you inhale through a small mask. We can administer this form of sedation to most patients, including children. Just inhale and your worries will melt away as you drift into a dream-like state.
Oral conscious dental sedation is administered in the form of a prescription pill that you take at a predetermined time before you visit our office. You’ll arrive fully relaxed and will only have a foggy memory of your treatment.
IV sedation is the strongest form of dental sedation we offer. You will stay conscious so we can communicate with you, but most patients don’t remember a thing!
So you won’t feel rushed, we can also provide extended appointments by request.
Let us help you conquer your dental anxiety with comfort dental sedation options in Albuquerque, NM – call Uptown Dental Associates at 505.219.4548. You can also use our online form.

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.
Jolene Gallegos
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!
