Pain Free Sedation in Scottsdale & Payson, AZ

No fear. No pain. Just care.

If fear or anxiety has kept you from the dentist, you’re not alone — and you’re not beyond help. We’ve built a surgical experience around compassion, safety, and complete comfort — from your very first visit to your final smile.

You Are Not Alone

We specialize in
 high-anxiety patients.

Most of our patients haven’t been to the dentist in years. Some have suffered through failed procedures, painful memories, or judgment from other providers. Others simply cannot face the idea of sitting in a dental chair while awake. We understand — and we’ve built our practice to help.

"I avoided dentists for over 20 years. Dr. Winterholler was the first one who made me feel calm — and I slept through the entire procedure.""

True Comfort — Not Just "Relaxed"

Real, deep,
surgical-level
comfort.

We offer in-office IV sedation — safely administered and fully monitored — so you can sleep through your procedure and wake up with your new smile. This is not laughing gas. This is not light sedation. This is real, deep, surgical-level comfort without a hospital or general anesthesia.

What makes this different

Many practices offer nitrous oxide — a mild inhalation sedative that reduces anxiety but leaves you fully aware. IV sedation is fundamentally different: administered directly, taking effect within minutes, producing a deep state of relaxation with no memory of surgery. You will feel as though the entire procedure lasted moments.

How it works

Before treatment begins, you receive a sedative through a small IV — comfortable, quick, and carefully monitored throughout.

Within minutes you enter a deep, peaceful state. No awareness of the procedure and no memory of surgery afterward.

Even complex full-mouth procedures lasting hours will feel, to you, as though they were over almost instantly.

Is IV Sedation Right for You?

Designed for patients who thought they couldn't do this.

IV sedation is for anyone who wants to sleep through their procedure — comfortably, safely, and without compromise. If any of the following describes you, sedation may be exactly what makes your treatment possible.

Severe dental anxiety or past dental trauma that has prevented you from seeking care
Painful or distressing dental experiences with other providers
Undergoing full-mouth implant treatment and want to sleep through the entire procedure
A strong gag reflex that makes dental procedures uncomfortable
Simply prefer not to be aware of your surroundings during any dental procedure
Been told elsewhere that you are "not a candidate" due to fear or anxiety

What to Expect Afterward

Recovery is simple. We walk you through it.

Wake up groggy but comfortable

Most patients come around feeling relaxed and peaceful — with no memory of the procedure and no awareness of time having passed.

A responsible adult drives you home

The sedative remains in your system for several hours. Please arrange a driver before your appointment.
