Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide (which you may know as “laughing gas”) is a mild dental sedative. Once we gently place the nose piece and you begin breathing in the odorless gas, you will begin to feel a wave of relaxation. Many patients even report a sense of euphoria or lightness. After your treatment, we will switch off the nitrous, and the effects should begin to dissipate almost instantly. This means you can drive yourself home and resume your day without delay.
IV Sedation
This is the strongest form of sedation dentistry we offer, in which medication is administered directly into the bloodstream via the hand or arm. You will immediately feel deeply relaxed, and we can adjust the sedation level as needed to optimize your comfort. We tend to recommend IV sedation for patients with extreme dental anxiety, those who need a complex treatment, or who want to complete multiple procedures in a single appointment to save time. The effects take much longer to dissipate and you’d need to bring a friend or family member along to drive you home. Get plenty of rest - Doctor’s orders!
