Light Sedation: If you experience mild to moderate dental anxiety, our laughing gas (nitrous oxide) option can offer relaxation and comfort. Administered via a mask during your procedure, this sedation method ensures a soothing experience.
Numbing: For routine dental care like fillings or cleanings, we employ local anesthetics to enhance your comfort throughout treatment.

How "out" will I be?
IV conscious sedation varies between a state of deep relaxation and light sleep. Most patients sleep through the procedure but can be easily awakened if necessary.
-
Will I feel anything?
We numb the area we are working on, just as we would if you were fully awake. Sedated patients typically do not remember the injection or the procedure.
-
How safe is IV sedation?
IV sedation is very safe and predictable. It allows us to administer the exact amount of sedative needed and can be reversed if necessary.
-
Are there at-home aftercare steps?
After your IV sedation appointment, have a trusted person stay with you for several hours. For the rest of the day, avoid driving or engaging in activities that require full attention.
