Choosing the Right Sedation Option For You

We are here to answer all your questions and help you feel confident and at ease with your treatment plan.
Types of Sedation Methods We Offer
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Often called "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is our mildest form of sedation. You’ll inhale the gas through a small mask placed over your nose, inducing a state of deep relaxation and well-being. The effects are felt quickly and wear off just minutes after the mask is removed, allowing you to drive yourself home safely.
Oral Conscious Sedation
For patients with moderate dental anxiety, oral conscious sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation. You will take a prescribed sedative pill shortly before your procedure begins, which will leave you feeling calm and drowsy. While you remain conscious and able to respond, you may have little to no memory of the treatment afterward.
IV Sedation
IV sedation provides our most profound level of relaxation and is ideal for patients with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing more complex or lengthy procedures. Administered directly into your bloodstream, this method allows for precise control over your sedation level. Our team carefully monitors you throughout the entire procedure for your complete safety.
Don't let dental fear prevent you from achieving optimal oral health.
