sedation for pulling teeth

I need to have 7 upper teeth pulled and dentures put back in the same day.  Is there a place in NC that will sedate you when they pull your teeth.  I have a real fear of dentists and my family dentist sedates me for fillings, etc.  So far I have not found a dentist that will sedate you for dentures.  Please help me.

If you go to a hospital, they may do it under general anesthesia, which is basically what you undergo when you have heart surgery, etc.

That's weird.  Why not?  The process of sedation should be the same regardless of the procedure.  You may want to contact your local dental society and find out which dentists in your area do sedation dentistry.
