Sedation Options

Sedation is an excellent option for patients who suffer from dental anxiety. Meet with us today to discuss which option is best for you!

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Nitrous oxide sedation, also known as "laughing gas," is commonly used to make treatment more comfortable. The nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask and produces a state of relaxation. Local anesthetic will be administered in conjunction with nitrous oxide to eliminate pain. Nitrous oxide is designed to make procedures easier for nervous patients and has been effective for many years.

Once the procedure is completed, the mask will be removed, and along with the euphoric effect the gas produces, allowing the patient to leave the office immediately following the procedure and proceed with their daily routine.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is an excellent option for patients who suffer from dental anxiety. It is simply taken in pill or liquid form and ingested at a set time before treatment. The drug produces a calming effect to make the visit to our office a much less stressful experience. Oral sedation is simple, safe and has very few side effects. We require patients who use oral sedatives to arrange transportation to and from their appointments.
