Sedation Dentistry in Oklahoma City, OK
If dental anxiety or fear has kept you from getting the care you need, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. At Magnolia Dental Center, we understand that dental visits can feel stressful for some patients. That’s why Dr. Chad Blackburn offers oral sedation dentistry to help you relax and feel at ease throughout your appointment.
Our goal is simple: to provide exceptional dental care in a calm, supportive environment where you can feel confident, comfortable, and fully cared for.
What Is Oral Sedation Dentistry?
Oral sedation is a safe and effective way to help patients overcome dental anxiety. Before your visit, you’ll take a prescribed medication that helps you feel deeply relaxed but still awake and responsive.
You’ll stay calm and comfortable throughout your appointment, often with little memory of the procedure afterward. Many patients describe it as feeling like time flew by—and are surprised by how easy the experience was.


Who Can Benefit from Oral Sedation?
Sedation dentistry isn’t just for those with dental fear—it can help anyone who feels uneasy, has a strong gag reflex, or needs multiple or complex treatments completed at once.
You may benefit from oral sedation if you:
- Feel nervous or anxious about dental visits
- Have had negative experiences in the past
- Struggle to get numb easily
- Need longer or more involved procedures
- Avoid the dentist due to fear or discomfort
Dr. Blackburn will review your medical history and discuss your options to ensure sedation is safe and effective for your needs.
How Oral Sedation Works
Before your appointment, Dr. Blackburn will meet with you to review your medical history, discuss your level of anxiety, and determine the right sedation plan for you.
You’ll take the prescribed medication before your visit. By the time you arrive, you’ll feel calm and relaxed. You’ll remain awake but deeply at ease throughout treatment.
Once you’re relaxed, we’ll proceed with your dental care. Our experienced team will monitor you closely to ensure your safety and comfort from start to finish.
Because oral sedation can take time to wear off, you’ll need someone to drive you home afterward. Most patients feel back to normal within a few hours.

Your safety is always our top priority. Dr. Blackburn and our team have extensive training in sedation dentistry and follow strict protocols to ensure a safe, controlled experience. We’ll explain everything beforehand so you know exactly what to expect and can feel completely at ease.
