Our sedation dentistry services include:
Laughing Gas
Nitrous oxide, often called "laughing gas," is a safe and mild sedative offered to help make your dental visit more comfortable and calm. You'll breathe the laughing gas in through a small, comfortable mask placed over your nose.
Laughing gas works quickly to help you feel relaxed and at ease during your treatment. It also wears off rapidly once the mask is removed, so you can typically resume your normal activities, including driving, shortly after your appointment. If you feel nervous about dental procedures, laughing gas can be a great way to help you feel more at peace and have a more positive experience throughout your visit.
Oral Conscious Sedation for Anxiety
If dental anxiety makes it difficult for you to receive the care you need, conscious oral sedation might be the ideal solution for you. Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed medication from your dentist, usually a pill, before your appointment to help you feel relaxed throughout your visit. While you are sedated, you will remain awake and able to respond to instructions, but will likely feel very calm and drowsy. Our team will provide all the guidance you need to relax through your visit with oral conscious sedation!
