Sedation Dentistry

We use advanced sedation dentistry for a wide variety of in-house services. We aim to ensure you are comfortable, calm, and relaxed through any dental treatment or procedure. Our team will work closely with you to assess what fears you may have and determine a treatment option that feels comfortable for you.

The Purpose of Dental Sedation

Dental sedation refers to medicine designed to reduce physical pain associated with treatment or anxiety and help you feel more relaxed while dental work is being completed. This makes the experience more pleasant and ensures our staff can perform their duties more effectively. We offer dental sedation via laughing gas. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is the most minimal form of sedation and is easily administered through a small mask that dispenses a combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen, leaving you feeling relaxed.

  • What is laughing gas, and what does it do?

    Laughing gas, or nitrous oxide, is a sedative commonly used in dental procedures. It is a colorless and odorless gas that works quickly and can be easily reversed. Nitrous oxide is widely considered a safe sedation method for dental patients.

  • What type of anesthesia is used for dental work?

    The most common types of anesthesia used for dental work are local anesthesia, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is a numbing medication injected directly into the area that needs to be treated, usually the gums surrounding the affected tooth. General anesthesia produces a more profound experience that typically results in no procedure memory. It is commonly used for more extensive procedures such as tooth extraction, dental implants, or other surgical procedures, and the patient is unconscious during the process. IV sedation is a deeper type of anesthesia that results in a brief period of sedation with very little memory of the surgery.
