SEDATION SLEEP DENTISTRY

We understand that dental care can be a scary thing for people of all ages. This is why we offer all types of sedation and sleep dentistry. We work with you to deliver the best solution for you or your child. At the end of the day, your comfort is the most important thing.

Types of Dental Sedation offered:

1. Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)

This reduces anxiety and relaxes you. You will still be aware of what is going on, you just won’t be as concerned and your gag reflex is usually reduced as well. This sedation has very few after effects so you can return to your daily routine once the procedure is over. This is available for children, teens, and adults.

2. Conscious Sedation (two types)

Oral Sedation – like IV, it will put you in a deep, relaxed, comfortable state, most patients have very little memory of the appointment. It is intended for those patients who have extreme dental phobias or low pain thresholds. You simply take a pill and we add the nitrous oxide to supplement the sedation medication and you will be monitored throughout the procedure. You will need someone to bring you home from this appointment and care for you throughout the day. The advantages of oral sedation is that it is very friendly for patients with needle phobias. This is available for children, teens, and adults.
