IV Sedation
IV sedation is commonly used for lengthy, complex procedures or for patients who suffer from extreme dental anxiety. Its effects work quickly because it is administered into your bloodstream, allowing you to enter a near-sleep-like state. Although known as “sleep dentistry,” it does not fully sedate you; instead, you remain awake but completely unfazed throughout your visit.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Milder than IV administration is oral conscious sedation. Fast-acting and safe for most patients, the prescribed pill medication creates a calming effect that may cause you to doze off during treatment. You will remain undeterred by what is happening around you, allowing our team to work more efficiently and provide the oral healthcare services you need.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is among the most popular methods of sedation because of how quickly it works. In just a few minutes, you will feel relaxed and almost euphoric in the dentist’s chair. The best part is how fast the effects wear off after treatment, allowing you to resume normal activity once you leave our office.
