What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry allows your doctor to provide a variety of dental treatments safely and comfortably for patients who experience anxiety when visiting the dentist. There are several benefits to the type of sedation dentistry we offer, including:

Sedation Levels

There is no need to be nervous about having sedation dentistry at our practice. We are licensed by the American Dental Association, and you will find that we are both respectful and professional at all times. We have several levels and types of sedation available to accommodate any medical or personal needs.

Mild Sedation

Anxiolysis is the lightest form of sedation dentistry and is often used for patients with mild anxiety, longer procedures, or more complex situations. Mild sedation is usually administered orally. You remain awake or very sleepy throughout the entire procedure and are able to breathe on your own, but you will feel a great sense of relaxation. Patients typically recover from anxiolysis sedation within a few hours after the procedure is complete.

Nitrous oxide

Nitrous oxide inhalation (laughing gas) is another form of mild to moderate sedation that results in relaxation during treatment. Patient may need a driver to and from the office.
