Sedation Dentistry Options
Experience dental care like never before. With our sedation options, you can feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident throughout your visit.
Taken in pill form before your appointment, oral sedation helps you feel calm and at ease during your procedure. It’s a simple way to make dental visits stress-free.
Commonly known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is perfect for those who prefer mild sedation that keeps you relaxed while staying awake. It’s quick, effective, and wears off shortly after your visit.
For more involved procedures or heightened anxiety, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. Administered by our trained professionals, it ensures your comfort throughout.

Sedation Dentistry FAQs
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe. Our team is trained to monitor your vital signs and adjust the sedation as needed to ensure your safety and comfort.
Will I be awake during sedation?
It depends on the type of sedation. With oral and nitrous oxide sedation, you’ll remain awake but deeply relaxed. IV sedation can make you drowsy or even sleep lightly.
Will I feel anything during the procedure?
Sedation greatly reduces your awareness of discomfort. Combined with local anesthesia, you’ll feel little to no pain during your procedure.
How long does sedation take to wear off?
Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, while oral and IV sedation may take a few hours. We recommend having someone drive you home after oral or IV sedation.
Can I request sedation for routine cleanings?
Yes, sedation can be used for routine cleanings if you experience anxiety or sensitivity during dental visits.
What should I expect after a sedation?
You may feel groggy for a few hours, especially with oral or IV sedation. Resting at home and following our post-procedure instructions will help you recover smoothly.
