sleep Dentistry

IV sedation is a great option for patients who suffer from severe dental anxiety, or are having serious dental surgery like the placement of multiple implants or the extraction of multiple teeth.

IV sedation uses a powerful sedative, administered directly through an IV. You will fall asleep quickly after being sedated, and you will not remember anything about your procedure. The after-effects of IV sedation can last 4-6 hours or longer, so you will not be able to drive yourself home after your procedure.

Stay Comfortable & Relax

Minimal Inhaled Sedation (Laughing Gas)

If you don’t want IV sedation but would still like to remain more comfortable during your appointment, minimal inhaled sedation with laughing gas is an ideal option.
‍
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) will make you feel euphoric and disconnected from what’s happening around you, ensuring you feel no pain or discomfort during your procedure. Best of all, it wears off within 5 minutes of your procedure, and its side effects are minimal. You can get back to your life immediately and drive home, or even resume your workday.

You’re In Good Hands
