Sedation Dentistry in San Antonio for Nervous Patients

Many people in San Antonio feel scared or tense about seeing the dentist. Some had a bad visit in the past. Others worry about pain, sounds, or feeling out of control. Dr. Chris Cappetta offers safe sedation dentistry so even very anxious patients can get the care they need.

Sedation dentistry uses gentle medicine to help your body and mind relax while we work. You stay safe and closely watched the whole time. This can help if you have a strong gag reflex, fear shots, need a long visit, or have put off treatment for years.

Families from the Medical Center District, Oak Hills, Leon Valley, and Balcones Heights tell us they finally finished care they had delayed. Our goal is a calm visit, a relaxed body, and a healthier smile you feel proud to show.

Emergency Dentist San Antonio

Tooth pain and broken teeth can stop your whole day. If a tooth breaks, hurts badly, or gets knocked out, you should not have to wait. At Fountain of Youth Dental, Dr. Cappetta offers same day emergency visits for families in San Antonio and the Medical Center area whenever possible.

We help with strong toothaches, cracked or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and swollen gums or infections. When a problem shows up fast, quick care can reduce pain and help protect your tooth. Call us right away at 210-614-5481, and our team will guide you on what to do next and work to see you as soon as we can.

While you wait to be seen, you can use over the counter pain relief as directed on the label and hold a cold pack on the outside of your cheek. If you have trouble breathing, heavy bleeding, or a serious injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room first.

We also use NightLase laser therapy to help reduce snoring and support better sleep for many patients. With SmoothLase and LipLase, Dr. Chris Cappetta can gently firm skin around the mouth and enhance lip shape without shots or surgery. For people who feel nervous, he offers safe sedation options so you can relax while we work on your smile.

Insurance and Financing Made Simple

Paying for dental care should feel clear, not scary or confusing. At Fountain of Youth Dental, we accept most PPO dental insurance plans and help you understand how your benefits work. Our team can check coverage, explain what your plan may pay, and give you a clear estimate before treatment starts.

If you do not have insurance, or if your plan does not cover everything, we offer budget friendly options. You can ask about in-office savings plans for routine visits and cleanings. For larger treatment plans, we partner with trusted financing companies that let you split costs into smaller monthly payments instead of paying all at once.

Whether you are from the Medical Center District, Oak Hills, Leon Valley, or anywhere in San Antonio, we want cost to be one less thing to worry about. Tell us your goals and your budget, and we will walk you through your choices in simple words so you can pick a plan that feels right for you.
