I’m planning on getting sedation work done this fall. I’ve heard that most insurance companies wont pay for the sedation-does anyone know how much it generally costs for the sedation itself?
One Response to “How much does sedation dentistry usually cost?”
IV sedation is used mostly by Oral Surgeons/ Maxillo facial surgeons that perform Wisdom teeth extractions, or other facilal surgeries. If you have private insurance at 80%-100% coverage, it may already be covered. However they willl explain your patient portion at the dental visit. Note: IT IS NOT YOUR DECISION TO CHOOSE IV SEDATION JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO. Only the Dr. can suggest the type of sedation you will need. Because of many factors: reactions, necessity, requirement…………it depends on the procedure. Another option that you CAN request is NITROUS OXIDE (laughing gas). In which you are conscious of the procedure, but you are mostly relaxed…however you will still be given anesthesia: (Lidocaine, Septocaine, Marcaine, Citanest, whatever the doctor chooses) Before you are given the anesthesia some TOPICAL ANESTHETIC GEL will be swabbed in the injection site, to help comfort the needle. So like I mentioned, it depends on the procedur, insurance, and requirement. You may call your Dental Insurance as well, to find out your coverage. Good Luck!!!!
