Nitrous Oxide in Pineville

Nitrous Oxide for Dental Sedation

At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we want your visit to be a pleasant one. For many patients, dental fears or anxieties keep them from visiting the dentist regularly. Sedation dentistry helps patients undergo dental work and keep their mouths healthy without anxiety. We offer nitrous oxide in our Pineville, NC dental office. 


Also called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is used to create a calm, relaxed experience. In dentistry, it is often used to help patients who feel anxious or have trouble sitting still. It takes effect immediately and the patient remains awake throughout the treatment.

Uses of Nitrous Sedation in Dentistry

Laughing gas can be used with patients of all ages to ensure a better dental experience. At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, nitrous sedation may be recommended for the following reasons:

  • Easing dental fears – Dental anxieties are common and can keep people from visiting the dentist. To ensure you have a good experience, dental sedation can take the edge off your anxiety. The medication can help you stay calm, yet awake, so you do not notice pain or fear during your treatment.
  • Helping young children sit still – Young children often have trouble staying still for dental appointments. When necessary for treatments such as dental fillings, nitrous oxide can help relax children and ease fidgeting.
  • Treating patients who need significant work – Even adults have trouble sitting for long periods of time. When a treatment or procedure may take a significant period of time, laughing gas may be recommended to minimize excess movement

Safe Sedation Dentistry

Nitrous oxide is a very safe option for sedation dentistry. The patient’s medical history is thoroughly reviewed to ensure there are no allergies or diseases that could cause adverse reactions. If used, the medication is closely monitored and controlled by the dental team throughout the procedure.

Nitrous oxide takes effect immediately. It does not cause drowsiness so the patient remains awake and can communicate with the dentist. The patient breathes in a combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a mask. 

Once the treatment is over, the medication is stopped and the effects cease immediately without any lasting effects. As the medication is turned off, the patient breathes in only oxygen to clear the lungs. Since there are no side effects or lingering reactions, patients can drive themselves home and resume normal activities after the appointment.

Schedule a consultation!

At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we want you to have a positive dental experience. We offer nitrous oxide in Pineville, NC to reduce dental anxieties while improving oral health. Our comprehensive, affordable dental services will keep your smile beautiful and healthy. Contact our team today for a dental appointment.

Went in yesterday for a cleaning and examination. As always it was a easy, wonderful experience. Denise at the front desk is so welcoming and helpful. Veary is the best dental hygienist ever. She remembers specifics about my teeth and gives me helpful advice about my oral health. Dr. Lee comes in and reassures me that my teeth are healthy and I'm happy and healthy for another 6 months. I am proud to call Radiant Smiles my dental home.

Typically a dentist office is a dentist office . . . but Radiant Smiles is something more than that. They really care about their patients, going above and beyond to be sure that each receives the care needed and offering help with scheduling and billing questions. I'm glad I am one of their patients!

Recently took my son to Dr Lee due to an accident that chipped his two front teeth. The office quickly got him in to be seen. Recognizing the aesthetic impact of front teeth - Dr Lee did a careful and beautiful job adding a bonding agent to both teeth, matching the color and shape of the teeth. The office also worked with us on payment - as insurance did not cover this work. Thank you Radiant Smiles!

as a 10 year old I would expect seeing a dentist would be scary and uncomfortable but everyone was nice and caring I got all my teeth fixed. 🙂

Dr. Lee and his staff are the absolute best! I’ve been known to be “cavity prone” and have not have a single cavity since going to Radiant Smiles over the last four years. Also, when my crown broke, Dr. Lee did not hesitate to see me early on a Saturday morning for the emergency. They are clean, nice, and fantastic at what they do. Both me and my fiancé have been going here for 4 years.

Staff is super friendly and helpful; I did not feel obligated to do any procedures and more importantly, they gave me an exact cost for my procedures to be able to make a decision.

I felt VERY SAFE during my teeth cleaning today. It was my first visit since the COVID 19 outbreak. Denise at the front desk was so helpful and efficient. Dr. Lee and Katie were extremely competent in following the CDC guidelines during my cleaning and checkup. I highly recommend Radiant Smiles.

Love it! Never thought I would say this about dentistry 🙂 One year ago I felt extreme tooth ache and I wasn't sure where to go because my doctor has retired at the moment. I found Radiant smiles in the area and decided to go there for help. Dr Lee helped me with my issue right before my California vacation trip. I am so grateful for everyone working here. Professional team and always great experience, every single visit. I brought my husband and couple friends there. I think they are in good hands. Highly recommended!

My family loves this practice! We’ve experienced a number of dentists in different cities (New York, Baton Rouge, California etc) and we are always happy with the treatment we are given. I can tell Dr. Yeung and Dr. Lee are passionate about their work and they always take the time to explain every procedure to us as well as make sure we are comfortable at all times. Their work is so seamless I even fell asleep during one visit. Their educational background is very impressive and reassures us that we are in good hands.The rest of the staff is also very warm and welcoming - their receptionist, Ms. Kimball, is incredibly organized and accommodating. We would recommend this practice to anyone new to the area or anyone looking to change their dental experience for the better!

Dr. Lee is awesome as well as all the support staff especially Denise at the front desk! I’ve been in a lot lately with getting my teeth straightened and I have to say it’s been awesome. I still don’t like getting my teeth cleaned but it’s tolerable with all the creature comforts they offer here at Radiant Smiles

Radiant smiles is great! They are nice, warm and of course professional. My dad found the place and now my whole family is here. They will give helpful advice and if you do need something that is better to do in else dental office—I did a gum tissue trim, they will give you great guidance on that!

I have been seeing Dr. Lee for over 5 years. In these years, he has filled my 9 cavities in total and couple of them very deep. I never had any issue so far. I used to see him in Downtown first but now here. He is the best dentist out there. Never pushes for anything extra and give you the honest advice. When it comes to teeth, I am very sensitive and Dr. Lee does great job at answering my questions patiently. I ll highly recommend you Dr. Lee.

I've worked with Radiant Smiles over the past years (almost 10 at this time); Dr. Dan Lee has not only provided the best dental service i could hope for- but compassion throughout every step of the way. He and his entire staff worked with me to develop a treatment plan and stick to it- laboriously communicating with my private insurance companies to give me the best service possible. I am very thankful to have them at my side; it is a comforting feeling to know your well-being is cared about when dealing with a sensitive issue like dental exams/ work. I am pleased to be one of their patients. I would strongly recommend Radiant Smiles Family Dentistry in Kirkland, WA to anyone of my co-workers, friends, and family.

Staff is incredibly friendly; they remember me by name even though I only see them every 6 months. Either they all have incredible memories or they have a CRM that everyone uses 🙂 Quality is very high in cleanings, and while they provide me with information on items that would help in oral care, I never feel like it's a sales pitch.

I visited Radiant Smiles on a colleague's recommendation and have been a patient for about six years now. I am very satisfied with the entire team at Radiant Smiles. Dr Danlu Lee is a perfectionist in his dental work. Katie and Marina do a very thorough job with dental cleaning. And Denise is a very caring and welcoming Manager.

Katie is the best! Compared to any other dental hygienist or doctor cleanings I have had in my life, Katie has done best cleanings! Patient since 2015. I have nice healthy smile, brush and floss regularly, don't eat many sugars, but I am still prone to quick plague buildup. Katie is expert at her job! She is precise, very thorough, and gets the bad stuff gone, careful near gumline, and I've always left with my teeth feeling super clean and smooth again. She's pleasant in nature, reassuring, and attentive too. When it comes to a good cleaning, I can't recommend her enough!

I started out as a patient of Dr. Dan and loved the welcoming feeling of Radiant Smiles, so when it came to taking my children to the dentist it was a no brainer. The office is conveniently located off 85th in Rose Hill. When we visit the office we are always so graciously greeted by Denise, the receptionist. All the dental hygienists are welcoming and good at making my kids feel comfortable...

I have had appointments with both Dr. Lee and Dr. Yeung and have only positive things to say about their business. The manager, Denise, always brings a smile to my face. They go the extra mile to make patients feel comfortable. I have had cleanings and fillings here at Radiant Smiles and always leave feeling satisfied. I appreciate this private practice's clean and professional environment.
