Read Our Reviews

Tara and Dr Bailey are the kindest people ever! My wife came in with a ton of anxiety and they calmed her right down. So professional and knowledgeable, what a great experience!!! This will be my families dentist office forever. I’m not one to do google reviews but my god they deserve it.

We absolutely LOVE Laurich Dentistry, specifically the Farmington Hills location off of 12 mile. The staff is absolutely amazing - from the front desk to the hygienists every single one of them are so friendly and caring. My four year old daughter literally looks forward to her dentist appointments, and it’s all thanks to this office (and the TV’s on the ceiling!) 🥰

I could not possibly say enough wonderful things about Laurich Dentistry Livonia. From your first phone call, to your time with the hygienist and dentist, to checking out and making your next appointment- everyone is top notch, kind, understanding, and patient. I have had some rough dentist appointments in my adult life and coming here was the best decision I could make. Laurich Dentistry Livonia is the best place to be!

I’ve hated going to the dentists for the past 15 years. I’ve probably gone to over 10 different dentist in the past year. They all were the same and criticized me for not taking care of my teeth and would state that I needed a ton of work. In my early adult life I admit I didn’t take care of my teeth that well but as I got older I had become a lot better. Anyway Ive been coming here for about two years now and love it. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and caring!! I no longer dread going to the dentist. Happy I finally have found a place that treats you right and cares. They are superior to all the other offices I have visited and truly care!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get Sedation Dentistry?

📍 Sedation Dentistry is offered at our Farmington Hills and Livonia locations. Patients from all of our offices are able to enjoy the benefits of Sedation Dentistry at these locations.

Which Sedation Option is Right for You?

Mild Anxiety? Ask About Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A gentle, inhaled gas that induces instant relaxation and wears off quickly so you can drive yourself home.

Severe Anxiety? IV (Intravenous) Sedation: Deep, adjustable sedation administered by a trained professional for complex procedures or severe dental anxiety.

Moderate Anxiety? We Offer Oral Conscious Sedation:
A prescribed medication taken before your appointment that leaves you
deeply relaxed and drowsy, with little to no memory of the procedure.

Gentle Non-Sedated Dentistry: For those who just need a compassionate, slow-paced environment to feel at ease.

What are the Benefits of Sedation Dentistry?

✅ Sedation dentistry can help make dental visits feel easier, more comfortable, and far less stressful. Patients often choose sedation because it can:

Ease dental anxiety and fear
Allow multiple treatments to be completed in a single visit
Reduce discomfort from an overactive gag reflex
Help you relax so deeply that you remember little or none of your procedure afterward

What to Expect at Your Sedation Consultation

🧑‍⚕️ Your consultation is a chance for us to get to know you, understand your concerns, and create a plan that helps you feel confident about your care. During your visit, we’ll:

Review your medical history and overall health
Talk about your dental fears, anxieties, and comfort goals
Create a personalized sedation plan and discuss costs
Answer your questions in a supportive, judgment-free environment

Is Sedation Dentistry Right for Me?

🙋 Sedation dentistry isn’t just for patients with dental anxiety. It can be a great option for anyone who wants a more comfortable dental experience, including:

Patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety or past dental trauma
Busy professionals who want to complete more treatment in fewer appointments
Patients with sensitive teeth or difficulty getting fully numb
Individuals with a strong gag reflex

Can I Afford Sedation Dentistry?

☺️ Peace of mind should be accessible to everyone, so we make it easy to afford the care you need. Don’t let financial worry keep you from a healthy, pain-free smile. Laurich Dentistry offers:

Flexible financing plans available with CareCredit and Cherry
Transparent sedation and treatment pricing upfront
In-house membership plan savings for uninsured patients

Will I Be Asleep?

😴 It depends on the level of sedation you choose! Nitrous oxide and oral sedation keep you awake but deeply relaxed (twilight sleep), while IV sedation can drift you into a very deep sleep-like state.

Is Dental Sedation Safe?

🫶 Yes! Your safety is our absolute priority. Our dentists are highly trained, and every patient is constantly supervised and monitored by automated equipment and a dedicated staff member throughout the entire procedure.

Do I need someone to drive me home?

🚗 If you use nitrous oxide, you can usually drive yourself home. If you use oral or IV sedation, you will absolutely need a trusted companion to drive you to and from the appointment.

Am I a Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?

👍 If fear, a busy schedule, or a strong gag reflex is keeping you from the dentist, you are likely a perfect candidate. A medical screening at your consultation will confirm it.
