Your Sedation Options
Making your dental appointment painless and comfortable.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is provided through a nose hood and is administered throughout the entire procedure. This gas elevates the general mood and can evoke an overall sense of well-being. Most importantly, it relieves anxiety and reduces pain during the procedure. Furthermore, you can drive yourself to and from each appointment when nitrous oxide is used.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral medication is provided before treatment, and then nitrous oxide is added to induce a more profound state of sedation. Patients report feeling relaxed and unconcerned about the procedure, as their senses are dulled. However, you will need a driver to and from the appointment when oral medication is used.
IV Sedation
IV sedation is typically used for longer or more complex procedures, but can also be utilized for simpler treatments. Patients describe feeling as though they slept through the entire process, as treatments lasting hours can feel like minutes under this type of sedation. Nonetheless, patients will require a driver to and from the appointment with IV sedation.
I really appreciated their compassion.
Good job!
