What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s ideal for individuals who experience:
- Dental fear or phobia
- Sensitivity to sounds, smells, or sensations
- Difficulty sitting still for long periods
- A strong gag reflex
- Anxiety about needles or instruments
- A need for multiple or lengthy procedures
We offer several sedation methods, each tailored to your comfort level and the complexity of your treatment.

Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative delivered through a nasal mask. It helps you feel relaxed within minutes and wears off quickly after your visit, allowing you to safely drive yourself home.

Oral Sedation
For patients with moderate anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures, oral sedation is an excellent choice. A prescribed pill taken before your visit helps you stay calm, drowsy, and fully relaxed during treatment, while remaining conscious and responsive.

Sedation dentistry is an excellent option for:
- Adults or children with dental anxiety or phobia
- Patients with sensitive teeth, gums, or jaw joints
- Individuals undergoing multiple treatments in one visit
- Those who have difficulty getting numb with local anesthetic
