What types of sedation do you offer?

What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry utilizes medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. This approach is ideal for individuals who experience dental anxiety, have a low discomfort threshold, dental phobia, or need extensive dental work. With sedation, anxious patients can undergo dental treatments in a calm and relaxed state, ensuring a positive dental experience.

Sedation Options We Offer
- Nitrous Oxide: Commonly called "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is a mild sedative inhaled through a mask. It promotes relaxation while allowing you to remain conscious and aware.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: This method involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your appointment. It allows you to stay awake while achieving a heightened relaxation, leaving you feeling pleasantly drowsy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sedation Dentistry
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by our trained and experienced professionals. We monitor you closely throughout the procedure by having someone in attendance with you throughout the duration of the dental procedure, with a continuous blood pressure reading, and with a pulse oximeter.
Will I be completely asleep with sedation?
With oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide, you remain awake but in a deeply relaxed state. You'll be able to respond to instructions but may not remember much of the procedure.
How long does the effect of sedation last?
The effects of nitrous oxide wear off within 5 minutes, allowing you to drive home safely. Oral conscious sedation may take a few hours to wear off, so you'll need someone to drive you home.
Can children receive sedation dentistry?
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe for children and can help them feel more comfortable during their visit. We customize the sedation method to suit their needs.
What should I do to prepare for my sedation appointment?
Follow any pre-procedure instructions provided by our dental health team, such as fasting if necessary. Arrange for someone to drive you home if you're receiving oral conscious sedation.
