Enjoy Dentistry Again With the Right Sedation

Sedation dentistry changes the way you experience oral care. If you’ve been avoiding the dentist due to fear, sensitivity, or past trauma, sedation can make it possible to receive the care you need in a calm, supportive setting.

  • Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide) – A mild sedative inhaled through a nose mask, laughing gas helps you feel relaxed almost instantly. It’s safe for both children and adults, and the effects wear off quickly—so you can drive yourself home afterward.
  • Oral Sedation – This pill-based option provides deeper relaxation than laughing gas. It’s taken before your appointment, allowing you to remain conscious but deeply calm. You may feel drowsy and remember little of the procedure, which many patients find reassuring.
  • IV Sedation – The strongest option we offer, IV sedation provides profound anxiety relief. Delivered directly to your bloodstream, it’s ideal for more intensive treatments or patients with severe dental fear. Our team monitors you closely throughout the procedure.

Sedation makes it easier to complete longer or more complex treatments, such as root canals, tooth extractions, dental implants, or full-mouth reconstruction. It’s also a great option if you have a strong gag reflex or need several procedures done in one visit.
