Sedation Options

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild sedative inhaled through a small mask. You remain fully conscious and relaxed, and the effects wear off within minutes after the mask is removed — so you can drive yourself home.

Minimal Sedation

A prescription pill taken before your appointment that produces a gentle state of relaxation. You remain fully awake and able to communicate, with reduced anxiety throughout the procedure.

IV Sedation

Administered directly into the bloodstream for immediate, deeper sedation. Ideal for complex procedures, oral surgery, or patients with severe dental anxiety. You are monitored throughout.
