Our Sedation Options
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas," is one of the most widely used forms of dental sedation. It's ideal for patients with mild to moderate anxiety. You breathe the gas through a small mask over your nose, and within a few minutes you'll feel calm and relaxed while staying awake and aware. The effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment, and it's a good choice for patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety. It won't put you to sleep. You'll stay conscious and able to respond to our team, but you'll feel deeply relaxed, and many patients remember little of the procedure afterward. It's especially helpful for longer treatments like wisdom tooth extraction or dental implants.
