IV and Oral Sedation
Nitrous Oxide "Laughing Gas"
Nitrous oxide is the most common sedation dentistry method. It is regularly called “laughing gas.” You will breathe nitrous oxide in combination with oxygen through a special mask. Nitrous oxide is a great anxiety reliever and will make you feel light and relaxed during any procedure. Your level of sedation can be adjusted during your appointment, and the effect of the gas wears off quickly once the mask is removed, so there is no “hangover” effect. You can even drive yourself home after your treatment! This works great for kids and very safe. To learn more about this option, give us a call today.
Oral Sedation
Do you tend to feel anxious before undergoing dental treatment or when simply thinking about visiting your dentist? You aren’t the only one. Since many people experience some level of anxiety towards dental care, our team offers oral conscious sedation for a much stronger relaxation effect. This is especially helpful for those who also find it difficult to remain still in the dentist’s chair or require extensive procedures. By taking a sedative before your appointment, you’ll be able to receive the essential care you need in a completely stress-free state.
IV Sedation
We are happy to announce we offer IV sedation. This is the quickest and easiest form of sedation for patients. We recommend this for full arch cases, implants, and extractions. You will be in a daze and won't remember any of the procedure. It is safe for most people, but we would need to do a consult to discuss health history. This provides the most comfort and relaxation to patients.
We are trained and skilled at starting IV's and giving proper meds for sedation, but we also provide IV vitamin therapy for patients. This can be done at any appointment and we offer a variety of options for patients. Click see more details for more info or give us a call!
