When Sedation Can Help

If you feel anxious or uneasy, there are options to help you relax. We’ll work with you to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Sedation dentistry can be helpful if you:

Feel nervous or anxious about dental visits
Have difficulty sitting through longer appointments
Have a strong gag reflex
Need more extensive treatment
Have had difficult past dental experiences

You’re not alone. Many patients benefit from added support during their care.

Your Sedation Options

We offer options based on how much support you need to feel comfortable. We focus on mild to moderate sedation options that can be safely provided in our clinic.
If a higher level of sedation is needed, we’ll help guide you to the appropriate care.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation involves taking medication before your appointment.

Helps you feel deeply relaxed
May make you drowsy during treatment
Can reduce memory of the procedure

You’ll remain awake, but much more at ease throughout your visit.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide is a gentle form of sedation that you breathe through a mask.

Helps you feel calm and relaxed within minutes
Allows you to stay awake and aware
Wears off quickly after your visit

It’s a good option for mild to moderate anxiety and shorter procedures.

What to Expect

Before your appointment, we’ll review your health history and discuss what’s right for you. During your visit:

We’ll monitor your comfort throughout
Adjust your experience as needed
Make sure you feel supported at every step

You’ll remain safe, comfortable, and able to respond during treatment.
