Sedation Options

IV Sedation & General Anesthesia (Deep, Peaceful Sleep)

For those with severe dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or those needing extensive care—such as full arch implants or multiple extractions—this is the ultimate in comfort.

To ensure the highest standard of safety, we partner with professional Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) who specialize exclusively in the outpatient dental care setting. By bringing these experts directly into our office, we provide you with hospital-level safety and monitoring within the warm, familiar environment of our practice.

While your dentist focuses entirely on restoring your oral health, your dedicated CRNA is focused exclusively on keeping you safe, comfortable, and peacefully asleep. You will benefit from the amnesic effects of the sedation, meaning you will simply fall into a deep, restful sleep and wake up when everything is finished—with absolutely no memory of the procedure.

Oral Sedation (Calming Comfort)

If just the thought of walking into a dental office makes your heart race, oral sedation is an excellent choice. You will take a prescribed, calming medication before you even arrive. By the time you sit in the chair, you will feel deeply relaxed and drowsy. While you are technically awake and can respond to questions, you will be in a state of total tranquility, and most patients remember very little, if anything, about the appointment.

Nitrous Oxide (Gentle Relaxation)

Often called “laughing gas,” this is a wonderful option for taking the edge off mild nervousness. You simply breathe sweet-smelling air through a small mask, creating a warm, calming sensation almost immediately. You remain fully awake and can communicate with our team, and the effects fade completely within minutes after your visit, allowing you to drive yourself home.
