Stay Comfortable With Sedation That Matches Your Needs

If going to the dentist fills you with anxiety, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. Dental sedation can help calm your nerves, control your physical response to stress, and allow treatment to proceed smoothly, no matter how minor or major the procedure.

  • Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide) – This mild sedative is fast-acting and wears off quickly. Administered through a nosepiece, it brings a light, floaty feeling that helps reduce anxiety while keeping you fully awake. It’s ideal for children and adults with mild nerves or shorter treatments.
  • Oral Sedation – Taken as a prescription pill, oral sedation promotes a much deeper level of calm. You’ll stay conscious but drowsy and might not remember much about your visit. It’s perfect for patients who need extra help managing moderate to strong dental fear.
  • IV Sedation – This sedation method is administered through an IV and produces the deepest state of relaxation while keeping you responsive. It’s a safe and effective option for lengthy procedures or patients with high levels of anxiety or complex treatment needs.

These sedation options are often recommended for oral surgeries, dental implants, root canals, and full-mouth reconstruction. They’re also great for patients with a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, or those needing multiple treatments in one session.
