Sedation Dentistry

Making Treatment More Comfortable and Convenient

Your oral health is important to maintain, but dental anxiety can create a barrier between you and obtaining the necessary in-office care you require. Fortunately, with the help of sedation dentistry, patients can experience a more comfortable and calming experience during their appointment.

Different Levels for Patient Needs

To meet the various needs of our diverse patient community, we utilize the following sedation options to make your procedure as calm and comfortable as possible.

Nitrous Oxide

For children’s visits and those with milder dental anxiety, nitrous oxide is a virtually instantaneous calming agent administered through a nasal mask. Effects wear off as soon as the gas is turned off.

Oral Sedation

Taken in the form of a pill prior to your visit, oral sedation is intended for people undergoing more moderate procedures, or for those who have moderate dental anxiety.

IV Sedation

This is the highest level of sedation offered and is administered intravenously. It can provide a significant calming effect for patients undergoing extensive dental treatment.
