Your Dream Smile Is Within Reach

Nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas” is one of the most common and safest versions of sedation dentistry. In fact, it’s so safe it’s commonly used on children! Nitrous oxide won’t put you completely to sleep. You’ll feel calm and relaxed, but still be alert and responsive throughout your procedure. It can help local dental anesthesia (numbing injections) work better. Nitrous oxide’s effects disappear within minutes of completing your treatment, meaning you’ll be able to drive yourself home and go about your day afterward. Nitrous oxide can also be paired with other dental anesthesia such as oral conscious sedation to amplify their effects.

Have you ever wished you could take a pill and forget you were at the dental office? With oral conscious sedation dentistry, you can! By administering a carefully calculated dose of medications, we can help you relax in a state of twilight consciousness throughout your treatment. Many patients do nap in the chair, although oral conscious sedation still allows you to stay awake and responsive. Because it takes a while to wear off, you will need a driver to get you home and will likely spend the rest of your day taking it easy.

IV sedation dentistry is vastly superior to other dental anesthesia options because it gives us complete control over your sedation level and can be adjusted moment to moment through the different stages of your treatment. This incredibly safe approach to sedation dentistry allows us to deliver deeper and lighter levels of sedation so that you can sleep through the bulk of your procedure, but then be more alert and responsive if needed.

General anesthesia is a profound version of IV sedation dentistry that ensures you’ll stay completely asleep throughout your treatment. We will carefully monitor your blood pressure, respiration, and pulse rate to ensure your safety. Like twilight IV sedation, we will have total control over your level of consciousness and can adjust your level as needed.
