Afraid of Going to the Dentist?
Sedation Dentist in Fremont, CA
If the thought of visiting the dentist makes you anxious, you're not alone. Many people experience dental anxiety or fear, and it can prevent them from getting the necessary dental care they need. With sedation dentistry, you can overcome your fears and receive the treatment you deserve in a relaxed and stress-free environment.
Sedation Options for a Calm and Comfortable Experience
We offer two primary types of sedation:
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment. This helps you feel relaxed and drowsy during your procedure. Oral sedation is a good option for patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety.
- Reduced Anxiety: Feel calm and at ease throughout your appointment.
- Amnesia Effect: Many patients have little to no memory of the procedure.
- Efficient Treatment: Oral sedation can allow us to complete more extensive treatments in fewer appointments.
Important Note: Because the effects of oral sedation can last for several hours, you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that is inhaled through a mask. It helps you feel relaxed and comfortable during your treatment. Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective option for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety.
- Fast Acting: The effects of nitrous oxide are felt quickly and wear off soon after the mask is removed.
- No Escort Needed: You can typically drive yourself home after your appointment.
- Safe for All Ages: Nitrous oxide is a safe sedation option for both children and adults.

What People Are Saying About Us
We were on the search for a specialist for a while for mom. She needed her lower crowns and partials redone. We were lucky to have found Dr. Liu. Since the work was extensive, It required 7-8 appointments across 3 months. Dr. Liu was very patient and thoroughly explained the procedures and her options in Chinese. He custom designed mom’s lower teeth based on her molds. Mom was ecstatic with her new choppers. The cost was reasonable.
The office is in a spacious medical building with plenty of parking. Dr. Liu has state of the art equipment I haven’t previously seen so it was a fascinating conversation with Clare, his wonderful dental assistant. Isn’t modern technology incredible? While scheduling an appointment, we learned Dr. Liu was away for a class to expand his knowledge. You can tell he obviously cares so much about his patients and offering the best care possible.
Frank and his wife, Claire are both friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this dentist!
