What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation is a way to help nervous or fearful patients feel relaxed during treatment. When patients are relaxed, they have a more pleasant experience at our office and a better relationship with dentistry and our team. They are more likely to maintain the visits necessary to keep their teeth healthy and looking great. The administration of a safe, relaxing medication may also be appropriate for patients undergoing long, complex, or multi-step procedures.
How is the medication administered?
The specific ways the sedative is introduced vary depending on the type of sedation used, which is furthermore dependent on your specific needs. We are equipped to offer different levels of sedation. The most mild form is nitrous oxide, while deeper relaxation may be induced with IV sedation.

What is nitrous oxide?
You may know nitrous oxide by its nickname—laughing gas. This mild sedation is safe and appropriate for children, adults, and seniors alike. The sedative is inhaled through a lightweight mask positioned over your nose. You remain awake throughout your visit, only much calmer and more at ease. Patients like that it doesn’t cause lingering drowsiness. They can return to their regular activities and even drive themselves safely to and from our office without arranging transportation.
How does IV sedation work?

For utmost safety and to ensure the best possible experience, we can easily adjust the dosage throughout treatment. Here again, it is essential to confirm with us that you have a trusted family member or friend who can accompany you to and from your appointment due to the effects of this more potent form of sedation dentistry.
