Comfortable Dental Care
at Divine Dental

Dental anxiety affects millions of patients, preventing them from receiving necessary oral healthcare.

Our sedation techniques allow you to receive the dental care you need without stress or discomfort.

Benefits of
Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry offers numerous advantages for patients who experience dental anxiety or require extensive treatment. Reduced anxiety helps patients feel calm throughout their appointments, while pain management ensures maximum comfort during procedures. Sedation also allows Dr. Esmael Valdez to complete multiple treatments in fewer visits, saving you time.

  • Eliminates fear and anxiety associated with dental visits
  • Enables completion of complex procedures in single appointments
  • Provides an amnesia effect for traumatic dental experiences
  • Accommodates patients with sensitive gag reflexes

Sedation Options
Available

Our Santa Fe practice offers various sedation levels to match your specific needs and comfort preferences. Nitrous oxide provides mild relaxation while allowing you to remain fully conscious and responsive. Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication before your appointment to achieve deeper relaxation. Dr. Esmael Valdez will evaluate your medical history and anxiety level to recommend the most appropriate sedation method for your treatment in New Mexico.

Divine Dental 5 star reviews in Santa Fe, New Mexico

I recently went to get fillings and a crown. The staff was very friendly and made me comfortable. They are willing to answer any questions you have and make sure you’re doing ok prior to the procedure. The dentist constantly made me comfortable before he did anything. He was super fast and did really great work! Highly recommend this dentist office to anyone with fears of the dentist!

Delta’s hygenist Olivia was professional and focused, all adding up to one of the most efficient teeth-cleanings I have ever had. In addition, she was funny and friendly. All in all, I almost enjoyed having my teeth cleaned.
