Sedation Dentistry & IV Sedation for Oral Surgery in Newport Beach
Outside of anesthesiologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons receive the most anesthesia training of any dental specialty. The person sedating you is the surgeon operating on you — for adults and children alike.
What is Sedation Dentistry & IV Sedation and how does it work?
At our Newport Beach oral surgery practice, Dr. Nader Salib offers sedation dentistry and anesthesia options for oral surgery to help patients experience a more comfortable, relaxed treatment experience. Depending on your medical history, level of dental anxiety and the procedure being performed, sedation options may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation with medication, and IV sedation.
As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with advanced anesthesia training, Dr. Salib provides sedation for procedures including wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, tooth extractions, bone grafting and full-mouth dental implant surgery. Each patient is carefully evaluated to determine the appropriate level of dental sedation or anesthesia, with an emphasis on safety, monitoring, comfort and individualized care for patients in Newport Beach and throughout Orange County, California.
Our clinical team is fully trained and certified in sedation and anesthesia monitoring, as required by California dental regulations — so every level of sedation is delivered safely.

What Does It Cost?
The cost of sedation for oral surgery varies according to the type of anesthesia selected — such as nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation — the length and complexity of the procedure, the patient’s medical history and the level of monitoring required. Sedation fees may also differ for wisdom teeth removal, complex tooth extractions, dental implants, bone grafting and full-mouth dental implant surgery.
During a consultation, Dr. Nader Salib, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Newport Beach, will review your health, treatment needs and dental anxiety to recommend an appropriate sedation or anesthesia option and provide a personalized cost estimate. Insurance benefits, payment options and financing may be available depending on the treatment plan and individual policy.
Recovery
Nitrous clears within minutes and you can drive yourself home. Oral, IV and general anesthesia leave grogginess for the rest of the day — a driver is required, soft food and rest, and most patients are back to work or school the next day.

What Our Patients Say
“Dr. Salib is the best!! My daughter got her wisdom teeth pulled and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Everyone in the office was so friendly and made it way less scary for my daughter. Highly recommend!!!”
“I had the best experience with this office! I went in to remove all 4 of my wisdom teeth and was nervous prior to the procedure. Dr. Salib was so patient and walked me through the entire procedure. I didn’t feel a thing! It was the best experience! And the front staff was just as friendly and kind as he was. They answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease. One of the cleanest offices I’ve been to…. I even had a great view from my treatment room! Truly a wonderful and great experience. I’m so happy this is where I came to get my treatment completed. Highly recommend this office! Thank you so much Dr. Salib!”
“I HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE HERE! I am 23 years old and was kind terrified at my age to get them out due to higher bleeding risk. Due to me being in my 20s on my own I researched several people and did a consult here. I was super impressed and decided to choose him. Yes he was pricier but to me worth every penny!! He is priced higher for a reason in my opinion. Cause his healing after surgery was so fast!! The pain was minimal. The procedure itself was so quick and well done. He sent me home with all the supplies I needed, answered any and all questions. Sent the person taking me home with any aftercare instructions. The PRP after the procedure is more of a cost and honestly I wasn’t gonna do it. But I decided okay let’s try it.. it was sooo worth it. My sister did hers without this and took her over a week to heal and was in so much pain going to another oral surgeon doctor. Whereas I went here to Dr salib and did the PRP and was okay to resume activities in less than 2 days and has minimal pain. Highly highly recommend this doctor!! Choose him to get your wisdom teeth out for sure :)) great experience”
