Our Sedation Options
Laughing Gas
This mild sedation option helps you feel relaxed while keeping you fully conscious. It works quickly and wears off fast, allowing you to drive yourself home after the procedure. Laughing gas is great for mild to moderate anxiety or shorter treatments.
Oral Conscious Sedation
For deeper relaxation, we offer oral sedation, where you take a prescribed pill before your visit. You’ll remain awake but deeply relaxed, with little to no memory of the procedure. This option is ideal for moderate to severe anxiety or longer treatments.

Sedation allows us to perform multiple procedures in a single visit, reducing the number of appointments needed. Save time and get back to your normal routine sooner.

The Sedation Process
Before Your Appointment
We’ll review your medical history and current medications to ensure sedation is safe for you. You’ll receive detailed pre-appointment instructions, including any dietary restrictions and medication timing. If you’re using oral sedation, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment.

Our team will continuously monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable with amenities like blankets, pillows, and TVs to help you relax while we take care of your dental needs.
After Your Visit
Recovery time varies depending on the sedation used. With laughing gas, you’ll be able to drive yourself home immediately.
