Our dental team provides support and reassurance throughout your visit. We strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where you always feel relaxed and cared for.
Sedation Options to Reduce Anxiety
If you need a little extra help to relax, we offer sedation options:
Nitrous Oxide
Also called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a mild sedative you inhale through a small breathing mask. Nitrous is beneficial because it helps ease anxiety and reduce discomfort during procedures. The effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing you to drive home safely after your appointment.
Oral Sedation
This method involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your treatment. You'll remain awake but in a deeply relaxed state, often with little memory of the procedure afterward. Due to the lingering effects, you'll need someone to drive you home.
