Choose the Perfect Sedation for Your Dental Needs
We offer several types of sedation:
- Laughing Gas - This safe sedation method is suitable for patients of all ages, including children. It goes into effect immediately and gives you a mild euphoric feeling. You can drive home after your appointment since you won't feel groggy.
- Oral Sedation - With this option, you take prescribed medication before your appointment. You'll arrive relaxed and remain that way the entire time. However, you can answer questions and talk with our team. You will need a ride home.
- IV Sedation - This sedation gives you a profound sense of relaxation. It works quickly, and we can adjust the dosage to your desired level of sedation. Like oral sedation, it has lingering effects. So someone will need to drive you home.
In addition to sedation, you can feel at ease with homey touches like a soft blanket or neck pillow. Plus, our private care rooms will give you peace of mind during your appointment.
