Sit Back, Relax, and Get the Treatment You Deserve

Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?

Many patients benefit from our sedation methods, including those who have:

• High dental anxiety
• A fear of needles and shots
• A sensitive gag reflex
• Difficulty getting numb
• Limited time to receive all needed treatment
• Experienced past traumatic dental visits
• Embarrassment about their teeth
• An aversion to the dental office in general like sights, sounds, and smells
• Sensitive teeth
• Complex dental issues

To alleviate your dental anxiety, our office provides several methods of sedation

• Oral Sedation – You take a sedative pill an hour before your procedure. You will be totally relaxed throughout your visit with us. You will need a companion to drive you to and from your appointment.
• Nitrous Oxide – Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is an odorless gas that is inhaled through a mask. Within minutes you are relaxed and completely at ease. The euphoric effects of the gas cease once the gas flow is stopped, allowing you to return to your normal routine. You can drive yourself to your next destination.
• Local Anesthetic – For certain procedures you will need to have areas of your mouth numbed. Local anesthetic allows for a comfortable, pain-free procedure and may be combined with other sedation methods.
