Nitrous Oxide Sedation (Laughing Gas)
This form of minimal conscious sedation involves breathing in a combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a mask. You will feel relaxed and comfortable throughout treatment. You will remain fully awake and responsive. Once your procedure is complete and we remove the mask, the effects of the gas will wear off right away. You’ll be able to drive yourself home safely after treatment.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a pill about an hour before your dental procedure to allow you to relax. This form of conscious sedation can range from minimal to moderate, depending on the dose of sedative we prescribe you. You’ll feel drowsy and relaxed, but you’ll be awake and responsive to directions throughout your treatment. The best part is that you won’t remember much about the procedure. The effects of the sedative will linger until the next day, so make plans to have a trusted adult drive you home after treatment.
Sleep Dentistry
Sleep Dentistry often referred to as Oral Sedation is the ideal solution for patients who experience dental anxiety or require extensive work in a single visit. By taking a prescribed sedative about an hour before your appointment, you will enter a state of “conscious sedation,” feeling incredibly drowsy and relaxed while remaining awake and responsive to our team. This approach effectively minimizes the gag reflex and creates an amnesic effect, meaning you will have little to no memory of the procedure itself. Because the calming effects linger, please ensure a trusted adult is available to drive you home following your treatment.

Everything you need to know about Sedation Dentistry and more
Sedation dentistry is recommended for people with dental phobia, a real fear or anxiety that interferes with getting their needed dental care. It is also beneficial for patients with sensitive teeth, a bad gag reflex, a low pain threshold, or complex dental problems. Sedation dentistry is especially helpful for children who can’t sit still for long periods or those requiring a large amount of dental work completed.
