Sedation Dentistry

Relax. You’re in Good Hands.

For many patients, dental visits can cause anxiety or fear. At our office, your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities. Sedation dentistry allows you to receive the care you need in a calm, stress-free environment.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses safe, carefully controlled medication to help you relax during your dental treatment. Whether you feel mild nervousness or significant dental anxiety, sedation can make your experience smooth and comfortable.

Types of Sedation We Offer

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide is a gentle sedative inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. It helps you feel relaxed and calm, yet you remain awake and aware. The effects wear off quickly, allowing you to drive yourself home after your appointment.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment. It produces a deeper level of relaxation than nitrous oxide — many patients feel drowsy or may even doze lightly during treatment. You’ll need someone to drive you home afterward.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is administered directly into your bloodstream for precise control and quick adjustment of sedation levels. You’ll remain conscious but deeply relaxed, with little memory of the procedure. IV sedation is ideal for patients with higher anxiety or for longer, more complex procedures.

Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation can help if you:

  • Feel anxious or fearful about dental treatment
  • Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past
  • Have a strong gag reflex
  • Need multiple or lengthy procedures
  • Have difficulty sitting still or getting numb with local anesthesia

Safety Comes First

Your safety is always our top concern. Sedation is administered and monitored by trained professionals, and your vital signs are continuously observed throughout your procedure. Before recommending sedation, we review your medical history and tailor the plan to your specific needs.

Experience Comfortable, Stress-Free Care

You deserve a healthy smile without the fear or discomfort that sometimes comes with dental visits. With sedation dentistry, you can relax while we take care of your smile — safely and comfortably.
