The Benefits of Sedation
Smooth Procedures
By calming your body, sedation prevents any unnecessary movements and helps your dentist work more efficiently. This often means shorter and smoother appointments.
Keeps Care Precise
Sedation minimizes reflexes like choking or gagging, which allows your dentist to provide a higher quality of care with fewer interruptions.
Encourages Positive Dental Memories
A comfortable, pain-free treatment can change your outlook on dental visits. Positive experiences can help reduce your dental fears over time and build confidence.
Nitrous Oxide
Nervous about treatment, but want to avoid being deeply sedated? With nitrous oxide, you’ll experience a floaty, worry-free feeling that won’t leave you with side effects. Right after treatment, you can drive yourself home and get back to your day-to-day routine.
General Anesthesia
For patients undergoing invasive procedures, we proudly offer general anesthesia. After breathing the sedation through a ventilator, you’ll become completely unconscious — you will not feel anything or remember anything about your procedure.
Oral Conscious
If you’re looking for a sedative that will cause you to forget most of your procedure, we offer oral conscious sedation. This method uses a strong pill or liquid sedative that you’ll take about 30-60 minutes before your procedure for a peaceful, pleasant experience.
