Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients feel at ease during dental procedures, making it an ideal option for those who experience anxiety or discomfort at the dentist. Our techniques vary from mild sedation, where you stay awake yet relaxed, to deeper sedation that allows you to be less aware of the procedure.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
- Comfort and Relaxation: Sedation dentistry helps you feel at ease during your treatment, minimizing stress and anxiety.
- Pain-Free Experience: With sedation, you can undergo dental procedures without discomfort, making even lengthy treatments feel brief and effortless.
- Efficient Dental Care: Sedation allows our team to perform multiple procedures in one visit, saving you time and reducing the number of appointments needed.

Procedures Offered
- Nitrous Oxide: Often referred to as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask and provides mild relaxation during your procedure. It wears off quickly, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately afterward.
- Conscious Oral Sedation: Involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your appointment. This method allows you to stay awake yet relaxed, with little memory of the procedure afterward.
- Ability to bring an anesthesiologist into the office for special cases: For patients requiring deeper sedation, we collaborate with a professional anesthesiologist to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
Are You A Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is suitable for patients who experience dental anxiety, have a low pain threshold, or require complex procedures. If you have difficulty sitting still for long periods or have sensitive teeth, sedation could make your dental visits more pleasant and productive.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sedation Dentistry
Will I be unconscious during sedation dentistry?
Most forms of sedation keep you in a relaxed but conscious state. However, deeper sedation options can be arranged if necessary.
How long will the effects of sedation last?
The duration of sedation effects depends on the type used. Nitrous oxide fades rapidly, whereas oral sedation can take several hours to completely wear off.
Can anyone receive sedation dentistry?
While most patients are eligible, we conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure sedation is safe for you based on your medical history.
Will I need someone to accompany me home?
Yes, for oral sedation, it's important to have someone drive you home as its effects may impair your ability to operate a vehicle safely. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, allowing you to drive home after your appointment in most cases.
Are there any side effects?
Some patients may experience drowsiness or mild nausea post-treatment, but these effects typically subside quickly.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Follow the pre-appointment instructions provided by our staff, which may include dietary restrictions and medication guidelines.
