Rest Calmly in the Dental Chair With Our Sedation Methods
Our friendly, welcoming team offers two primary sedation options to help you feel relaxed and at ease during your dental treatment:
- Inhaled Sedation With Laughing Gas – This safe and effective sedation method is given through a small mask placed over your nose. You’ll breathe in the odorless gas, which quickly induces a state of relaxation and calm. You’ll remain conscious and responsive throughout your treatment. The effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your normal activities right after your visit with us.
- Oral Conscious Sedation in Pill Form – This option involves taking a prescribed sedative prior to your appointment. The pill helps you enter a state of deep relaxation, reducing your anxiety and increasing your comfort level. You’ll remain awake but may feel sleepy and less aware of your surroundings. Due to the lingering effects of the medication, you’ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home after your appointment.
Our experienced and compassionate team will work closely with you to determine the best sedation approach for your unique needs and preferences. We’ll take the time to explain each option in detail, answer your questions, and ensure that you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
In addition to these sedation options, we’re proud to offer VibraJect, an innovative technology that makes local anesthesia injections virtually painless. VibraJect uses gentle vibrations to minimize the discomfort associated with injections. You can also take advantage of cozy pillows and blankets for special touches of home.

Common Questions About Sedation Options
Yes, we offer two levels of sedation dentistry that will calm the fear and anxiety of any patient. We’ll discuss both types of sedation in detail and help you decide on the one that will work best for your procedure. Our goal is to provide you with pain-free, anxiety-free care every time you visit our office. Our sedation options help make sure that happens.
We’re proud to provide two safe dental sedation options. You can choose between inhaled sedation with laughing gas or oral conscious sedation using a small pill. Either one will work well when it comes to eliminating your dental anxiety. We’ll help you determine which one is right for you, so you can get the relaxing dental care you need.
If you choose inhaled sedation with laughing gas, the effects of the sedative will vanish immediately after your exam or procedure. You should have no problem safely driving yourself home. With oral conscious sedation, the pill’s effects will linger for a few hours, so you’ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home afterward.
