Sedation dentistry helps you feel relaxed and at ease during dental care, making longer or more stressful visits more manageable. Often called conscious sedation or “twilight sleep,” it keeps you awake and responsive while deeply relaxed. Our clinicians may recommend sedation if you have dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, or need a longer procedure. Options include inhaled nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and intravenous (IV) sedation—selected based on your comfort needs and health history.
Feel confident in the chair. Our sedation techniques help reduce dental anxiety, so you can receive the care you need without fear or stress.
Choose from laughing gas, oral sedation or IV sedation. We tailor the depth of relaxation to your needs—from mild anxiolysis to deeper conscious sedation.
Your comfort and wellbeing are our priority. Our dentists, oral surgeons and anesthesiologists monitor your vitals to keep you safe during the entire procedure.
When you’re calm and comfortable, we can work quickly. Sedation allows us to perform complex treatments in fewer visits, saving you time and improving your overall experience.

See how careful planning and modern materials create confidence.
Before treatment, we review your medical history, medications, allergies, and comfort concerns to determine whether sedation is appropriate and which option is safest for you. This planning step helps ensure your visit is both comfortable and well-prepared.
During your appointment, your care is closely monitored while treatment is completed gently and efficiently. After your visit, recovery depends on the type of sedation used—some wear off quickly, while others may cause temporary drowsiness. You’ll receive clear aftercare and activity instructions, and our team remains available if questions come up, supporting a smooth experience from start to finish.
