Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is a great option for patients with significant anxiety or difficulty sitting still for extended periods. Before your appointment, you'll take a prescribed pill that will put you in a deeply relaxed state while remaining awake. Many patients feel so at ease that they remember little of the procedure afterward. Since the effects take time to wear off, you’ll need someone to drive you home, and you should plan to rest for the remainder of the day.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Nitrous oxide is one of the most common sedation options in dentistry. It’s ideal for patients who need mild relaxation before their appointment. During your treatment, you'll inhale the sedative through a small nasal mask, with the sedation level adjusted for your comfort. Once your procedure is complete, the effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your normal activities right away.
