Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is ideal for anyone with dental anxiety, those undergoing lengthy procedures, or individuals with a low pain threshold. Our practice offers two primary forms of sedation, nitrous oxide and intravenous sedation. Those options allow our dentist to tailor the sedation level to your specific needs and the complexity of your treatment. Over 60% of patients who have used sedation report a more positive dental experience overall.

Comfort increases considerably during procedures, which matters a great deal for anyone with a low pain threshold or who struggles with local anesthesia alone.
Multiple procedures can be completed in a single visit under sedation, so you spend far less total time in the chair and fewer days away from work over the year.
A strong gag reflex becomes much easier to manage under sedation, which lets patients tolerate the treatments that would otherwise be difficult to complete.
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
