The Wealthy Dentist conducted a survey that asked dentists about the cost of sedation dentistry.
The cost of sedation dentistry varies widely among dentists. Of course, if you are a dental patient spending thousands for cosmetic dentistry, then sedation fees are just a drop in the bucket.
The average fee for oral conscious sedation is about $300. Some dentists don’t charge, whereas others ask as much as $650.
A third offer IV sedation, charging about $500. But intravenous sedation fees ranged from $250-$800. Only 6% have general anesthesia capabilities. Ranging from $320 to $1200, anesthesia costs around $700.
“My IV sedation fee is based on the amount of time needed to complete dental procedures,” said a Florida pediatric dentist.
“Most of the time I don’t charge for the sedation as these are usually very large (20K plus) cases,” reported a Texas dentist.
