Sedation Dentistry Options
For patients with significant anxiety or those undergoing complex procedures, we offer sedation dentistry to ensure a comfortable experience.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
This safe and effective option helps you relax during treatments. Administered through a mask, nitrous oxide induces a calming effect without putting you to sleep. Its effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your day promptly.
Oral Sedation
Taken before your appointment, oral sedation helps ease anxiety. While you’ll remain awake, you’ll feel deeply relaxed throughout the procedure. Due to its lasting effects, please arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
Please note: We do not offer IV sedation at our office.

Sedation dentistry may benefit individuals who:
- Experience dental anxiety or phobia
