Dental anxiety shouldn't stand between you and the healthy, radiant smile you deserve. At BB Dental Care in Burbank, CA, Dr. Bryanna Hubbard and our compassionate team specialize in gentle, judgment-free sedation dentistry designed to make your dental visit completely relaxing, comfortable, and stress-free.

No Fear, No Judgment: Care at Your Own Pace

Whether you haven't visited a dentist in several years, have had uncomfortable dental experiences in the past, suffer from a sensitive gag reflex, or require complex treatment in a single visit, you are warmly welcomed here. We never judge your current dental health—our sole priority is helping you achieve comfort and confidence in an environment tailored to your emotional well-being.

Our Safe, Proven Sedation Options

Dr. Bryanna Hubbard completed the Post-Graduate Hospital Dentistry Program at the UCLA School of Dentistry, which included comprehensive clinical training in patient pharmacology, systemic physiology, and advanced clinical monitoring. We offer tailored levels of sedation to match your personal comfort needs:

  • Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild, fast-acting inhaled sedative administered through a comfortable nasal mask. Within minutes, feelings of worry and tension melt into a calm, euphoric state. You remain fully conscious and responsive. Because the sedative effect clears completely within five minutes of switching to pure oxygen, you can safely drive yourself home or back to work immediately after your appointment.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation: For patients with moderate-to-severe anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures, Dr. Hubbard can prescribe a safe, gentle anti-anxiety medication to take prior to your appointment. You will feel deeply relaxed and drowsy throughout your treatment, often remembering very little of the visit. You will need a trusted friend or family member to drive you to and from our office.

Spa-Inspired Comfort Amenities

Sedation is only one component of our relaxation experience. Our Burbank dental studio has been thoughtfully engineered to eliminate the sights, sounds, and sensations of a traditional dental office:

  • Ergonomic Treatment Chairs: Supportive memory-foam padding that cradles your body.
  • Heated Neck Wraps & Weighted Blankets: Gentle sensory grounding to ease muscle tension and quiet an overstimulated nervous system.
  • Bose Noise-Canceling Headphones: Listen to your favorite calming music, podcasts, or guided meditations while muting dental sounds.
  • Ceiling-Mounted Streaming Displays: Watch your favorite movies or TV shows during treatment.
  • Swiss EMS AIRFLOW® Cleaning: Painless cleaning with warm water and soft powder, eliminating cold sensitivity and harsh scraping.

Open Saturdays & Flexible Payment Options

Taking time off during the workweek can add unnecessary stress. BB Dental Care is open on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, giving you the flexibility to undergo relaxing dental care without disrupting your work schedule. We accept major PPO dental insurances and partner with CareCredit and Cherry Financing to provide 0% interest and low monthly payment plans.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sedation Dentistry

Will I be completely asleep during sedation dentistry?

With nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, you remain conscious and able to respond to Dr. Hubbard's questions, but in a profoundly relaxed and peaceful state. Many patients become so comfortable that they naturally doze off, feeling as though hours passed in just a few minutes.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, sedation dentistry is remarkably safe when administered by a trained clinician. Dr. Hubbard's UCLA Hospital Dentistry training provided extensive experience with patient health monitoring, vitals tracking, and pharmacological safety. We thoroughly review your medical history and continuously monitor your oxygen levels, pulse, and blood pressure throughout your appointment.

Can I combine multiple dental treatments into one sedation visit?

Absolutely. Many patients prefer sedation dentistry because it allows Dr. Hubbard to complete multiple procedures—such as fillings, crowns, deep cleanings, or extractions—in a single relaxed session, saving you multiple visits and time away from your busy schedule.

How should I prepare for my sedation appointment?

For nitrous oxide, you only need to avoid heavy meals for a couple of hours beforehand. For oral conscious sedation, our team will provide clear pre-appointment instructions regarding when to take your medication and fasting requirements, and you must arrange for an adult companion to accompany you home.
