Nitrous Oxide

For your comfort, we offer various sedation options. Firstly, nitrous oxide, administered through a nose hood throughout the entire procedure, elevates mood and evokes an overall sense of well-being. Most importantly, it alleviates anxiety and reduces pain during the procedure. You can drive yourself to and from appointments when using nitrous oxide.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Alternatively, we provide oral medication prior to treatment, combined with nitrous oxide to induce a deeper state of sedation. Although you remain “awake,” your senses are dulled. Consequently, most patients can’t recall the pain, smells, or noises associated with the dental procedure. However, you’ll need a driver for appointments involving oral medication.

IV Sedation

Lastly, IV sedation is available for more complex procedures. Patients who have experienced this method often report feeling as if they slept through the entire procedure. In fact, a treatment lasting several hours may feel like mere minutes when sedated. While typically used for longer procedures or complicated oral surgeries, IV sedation can also be employed for simple fillings or even cleanings.
