At Elite Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Oklahoma, we believe oral sedation should feel more like a spa experience than a medical procedure. With anxiety-free dental surgery as our goal, we've crafted a system rooted in top-tier anesthesia credentials, client-focused comfort, and just enough humor to remind you you’re in safe hands. Our promise? “You’ll wake up confused about what day it is—but never about who’s in charge.”
1. Credentials That Build Trust
Dr. Jeremy Egan holds dual DMD/MD degrees, plus hospital-grade anesthesia training. We follow—and exceed—AAOMS and ADA anesthesia standards AAOMS:
- ACLS & PALS trained with yearly recertifications
- Sedation protocols conform to ADA and AAOMS guidelines
- Continuous monitoring (pulse, EKG, capnography) during and post-procedure
Why it matters: you’re under expert care — from consultation to recovery.
2. Sedation Options to Suit Your Comfort Level
Sedation Type | Experience | Best For |
Nitrous Oxide | Calm, clear-headed, quick-reset | Mild anxiety, short procedures |
Oral Sedation | Pleasant drowsiness, reduced memory | Moderate anxiety, phobia, gag reflex Wikipedia |
IV (Deep) Sedation | Twilight sleep—awake but unaware | Complex cases: implants, grafting, extractions Oral Surgery Anesthesia AssociatesPMC |
3. World-Class Safety, Zero Compromises
- Pre-sedation screening using ASA classification standards
- Dedicated team members present for constant vigilance ASDA
- Real-time monitoring with all safety gear ready, always
- Emergency readiness, and recovery only under full alertness
4. Comfort Culture: Before, During, and After
We go above and beyond to care for your comfort:
- Pre-visit prep: Expect guidance on fasting, travel logistics, and relaxation techniques
- Post-op comfort kits: Lip balm, soft pillow, soothing ginger tea
Follow-up calls: Scheduled by our team to check recovery, pain, and next steps
Clear aftercare guide: No guesswork—just peace of mind
5. Patient Experience—Live and Unfiltered
“I was nervous... after IV sedation, it felt like a cloud hugging me. I woke feeling like I’d been on vacation— Dr. Egan and his Elite team are simply incredible!!” 😄
That kind of relaxed connection isn’t a gimmick—it’s how we build trust and better outcomes.
6. Myth-Busting: Clarity on Sedation
- “Will I fall asleep?”
For IV—yes, but you’ll breathe and respond if needed. Oral/nitrous help you stay relaxed but groggy - “Is it safe?”
Complications in oral sedation are rare. When done properly, the risk is near-zero • sedation by trained OMS team boasts superior safety - “Can I drive afterwards?”
No, you'll need a ride home—and you might not even remember the journey!
7. Why Elite Stands Above the Rest

- Unmatched safety: best-in-class protocols every step of the way.
- Warm hospitality: We prioritize your comfort physically and emotionally.
