Sedation

Don’t let dental anxiety compromise your oral health. Prioritize your oral health and well-being with sedation dentistry.

Schedule Appointment

Man with a great smile

Dental anxiety is common and nothing to be ashamed of.

However, it can prevent you from seeking necessary dental care, leading to delayed treatments and potential serious oral health issues. We offer sedation options to promote a positive dental experience. Whether you have a lot of dental needs from years of fear or neglect, or perhaps you just need to have a lot of dentistry done at one time, in one sitting, sedation helps. You can relax while your teeth are restored to function or you’re getting the smile of your dreams.

Benefits of Sedation:

  • Reduced anxiety and fear during dental procedures
  • Enhanced relaxation for a more comfortable experience
  • Facilitates completion of multiple procedures in a single visit
  • Encourages regular dental check-ups, maintaining optimal oral health
Speaking to a patient

Our Sedation Options include:

Oral Sedation

Our Oral Sedation option offers a prescribed medication taken before your appointment, tailored to your needs and medical history. This medication is carefully chosen to induce a deep sense of relaxation, effectively minimizing anxiety and discomfort associated with dental procedures. By taking the medication before your visit, you can arrive at our office in a more calm and composed state, ready to undergo your treatment with ease. Our experienced team will guide you through the process, ensuring your safety and comfort every step of the way.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

With our Nitrous Oxide, or “Laughing Gas,” option, you can experience a heightened sense of relaxation during your dental procedure. Administered through a comfortable mask worn over your nose, this gentle sedative allows you to remain fully conscious and responsive throughout your treatment. Nitrous Oxide induces mild euphoria and reduces anxiety, creating a soothing environment for you.

IV Sedation

For individuals with severe anxiety or those undergoing complex dental procedures, our IV Sedation option provides a deeper level of relaxation and comfort. Administered intravenously by our skilled professionals, this method ensures rapid and precise delivery of the sedative medication. IV Sedation induces a profound state of relaxation, often causing patients to drift into a sleep-like state, while still allowing them to respond to verbal cues from our dental team. This level of sedation is carefully monitored throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and well-being.
