Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is one of the most commonly used anti-anxiety agents in the dental field. When inhaled, nitrous oxide creates a sense of well-being and relaxation while still leaving you fully conscious. Administering nitrous oxide requires only a mask over the nose, making it an excellent option for both adults and children.

Conscious Oral Sedation
 For many patients, conscious sedation is the easiest way to make dental visits more efficient and less stressful. Prior to your visit, your dentist can provide a carefully-prescribed medication that will completely relax you and allow you to rest throughout your treatment. You will still be conscious and able to communicate with our team, but you will likely have very little memory of the experience. For your safety, a responsible party must escort you to and from your conscious sedation appointment.

IV Sedation/Moderate Conscious Sedation
     We can perform almost any treatment you need with IV sedation:  from crowns and fillings to deep cleanings, extractions, dental implants and wisdom teeth removal.  Patients will NPO (nothing to eat or drink) for 8 hours prior to appointment, have a responsible party drive you to/from appointment, have little to no memory of your time at the dentist, be thoroughly monitored (EKG/pulse Ox/CO2/BP/Pulse/Respirations/Airway), and go home and take it easy for the rest of the day.
