Sedation Dentistry

We understand that many patients avoid visiting the dentist, or neglect treatment altogether, because of fear. If you have dental anxiety, or feel stressed when going to the dentist, talk to us about sedation dentistry options that can provide some relief. We work with an anesthesiologist to deliver general anesthesia for more complex procedures and also offer IV sedation and nitrous oxide. Many of our procedures can be performed with local anesthesia.

Our doctors can make a recommendation for sedation dentistry during your consultation. Our staff works hard to make sure every patient feels safe and relaxed during their visit. We are always here to address any concerns you have about treatment well in advance.

IV Sedation

Intravenous conscious sedation (IV sedation) helps patients with high levels of dental anxiety relax relatively quickly. We administer sedatives directly into the bloodstream and you are still awake and responding to our cues under this form of sedation. IV sedation may be necessary when performing extensive dental procedures.

Other Sedation Options

Nitrous Oxide
Local Anesthetic
Oral Sedation

General Anesthesia

If you are getting dental implants or undergoing full mouth reconstruction procedures, we may recommend general anesthesia to ensure you do not feel any pain or discomfort during treatment. We work with an anesthesiologist to ensure you are monitored the entire time. We typically reserve general anesthesia for more complex and aggressive dental procedures.
