Experience Stress-Free Care With Sedation

Sedation dentistry is a trusted solution for patients who struggle with dental anxiety, sensitivity, or fear of pain. At North Oaks Dental, you’ll have access to multiple types of sedation based on the complexity of your procedure and your personal comfort level.

  • Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide) – Delivered through a small mask over the nose, laughing gas helps you stay calm and relaxed during treatment. It takes effect within minutes and wears off quickly, so you can return to normal activities right away.
  • Oral Sedation – This option uses a prescribed pill taken before your appointment to promote a deeper state of relaxation. You’ll remain conscious but comfortable, and many patients feel little to no memory of the procedure afterward.
  • IV Sedation – Ideal for more complex treatments or patients with high anxiety, IV sedation offers a deeper level of calm. It’s administered directly into the bloodstream and monitored carefully to ensure safety and effectiveness throughout your visit.

Sedation isn’t just for fear—it also helps patients who have difficulty sitting still, struggle with a strong gag reflex, or need multiple procedures done in fewer visits. It creates a smoother, more efficient experience for everyone involved.

With sedation, treatments like dental implants, extractions, crowns, and root canals can be performed with minimal stress. Even long-overdue cleanings and exams become easier when sedation is part of your care plan.
