Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Commonly referred to as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide sedation is one of the mildest forms of sedation available. It comes in the form of a colorless, odorless gas that is inhaled with oxygen through a small nasal mask. It causes patients to feel happy and euphoric, which in turn can lead to a more positive dental experience that’s free of anxiety.
IV Dental Sedation

IV dental sedation allows our patients to feel deeply relaxed and comfortable throughout their procedure. This form of sedation is administered directly into the bloodstream through an IV, and it’s ideal for those with complex treatment needs or severe dental anxiety. Patients remain responsive and enjoy a calm, stress-free experience, and it’s normal for them to remember little about their visit.
