Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?
Dental treatment can feel easier to approach when you know there’s a plan to help you relax. Sedation dentistry gives us a way to support your comfort during care, with the approach tailored to your health, the procedure, and how you’d like to feel.
We’ll talk through your concerns, review your medical history, and explain what your visit will involve. You’ll have time to ask questions and prepare before treatment begins.
IV Sedation
IV sedation helps you settle into a deeply relaxed state during treatment. Our trained team administers and monitors it throughout your visit, while your dentist provides the care you’ve planned together.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Medication taken before your appointment can help you feel more relaxed and drowsy during treatment. We’ll give you preparation instructions and let you know what arrangements to make for your trip home.
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is breathed in through a small mask during your appointment. It can help you feel more relaxed while you remain awake and able to communicate with our team.
The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Feel More at Ease
Sedation can help make dental treatment feel more manageable when nerves or a past experience have made it difficult to come in.
Get Through Longer Visits
For a longer or more involved procedure, sedation can help you stay comfortable while you receive the care you need.
Care Built Around You
We’ll consider your health, treatment, and concerns before recommending a comfort plan, so you know what to expect from start to finish.
