Calm, Comfortable Dental Care for Every Patient

Sedation is especially helpful if you:
- Experience dental anxiety or phobia

We also provide sedation for children and adults with special healthcare needs.
Our Sedation Dentistry Options
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
A gentle inhaled sedative that promotes relaxation while keeping you awake and responsive. Effects wear off within minutes, so you can safely drive home afterward.
Benefits:
- Quick onset and fast recovery
- Adjustable during treatment
- Safe for children and adults
- Ideal for mild anxiety
Oral Conscious Sedation
A prescribed pill taken before treatment that helps you stay calm and relaxed. You’ll remain awake but may remember little or nothing afterward. A driver is required.
Benefits:
- Effective for moderate to severe anxiety
- Allows multiple treatments in one visit
- Reduces both physical tension and mental stress
- Commonly used for implants, full-mouth restorations, and longer procedures
Both methods are carefully monitored for your safety throughout the appointment.
