Our sedation dentistry options
We offer sedation methods tailored to your needs:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): This mild sedative, ideal for minor procedures, quickly wears off, making it perfect for patients with mild anxiety.
- Oral Sedation: Achieve a deeper level of relaxation with prescribed medication taken before your appointment. This method is suited for patients requiring more significant anxiety management and a more profound sedation effect.
Each option is designed with your comfort and safety in mind, allowing us to provide the best possible care tailored to your individual needs.

Sedation Dentistry FAQs
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective way to reduce anxiety and discomfort during dental procedures. Our team is highly trained in sedation techniques and monitors patients closely throughout their visit.
How long does the effect of sedation last?
The duration of sedation effects depends on the type of sedative used. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly after the mask is removed, while oral sedation may require some recovery time before you can safely drive or return to work.
Can I return to normal activities after sedation?
After mild sedation with nitrous oxide, most patients can resume normal activities immediately. For oral sedation, we recommend arranging for someone to drive you home and take it easy for the rest of the day.
Is sedation dentistry covered by insurance?
Coverage for sedation dentistry varies by insurance plan. We can help you understand your benefits and provide flexible payment options to ensure you receive the care you need.
