What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is ideal for patients who experience:
- Dental anxiety or fear
- Difficulty sitting still for extended periods
- Sensitive teeth or gag reflex
- Need for multiple or complex procedures
- Previous negative dental experiences
Our goal is to help you feel at ease while receiving the care necessary to maintain your oral health.
Our Sedation Options
We offer multiple levels of sedation based on your comfort level and treatment needs.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation that helps you relax while remaining fully awake.
Benefits include:
- Fast-acting and wears off quickly
- Adjustable levels of relaxation
- Ability to drive yourself home after treatment
- Ideal for mild anxiety or shorter procedures
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication before your appointment to help you feel calm and relaxed.
Benefits include:
- Deeper relaxation than nitrous oxide
- Reduced awareness of the procedure
- Ideal for moderate anxiety or longer treatments
- Easy and convenient administration
You will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
IV Sedation
IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation and is administered directly into the bloodstream.
Benefits include:
- Rapid onset of sedation
- Adjustable level of sedation throughout the procedure
- Little to no memory of the treatment
- Ideal for complex or surgical procedures
IV sedation is commonly used for treatments such as Dental Implants, Tooth Extractions, and other advanced procedures.
