Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Delivered through a nose hood during your visit, nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that reduces anxiety and elevates mood. You'll remain awake and responsive, but calm and comfortable throughout the procedure. Effects wear off quickly once the gas is stopped.

Taken as a prescribed pill or liquid before your appointment, this sedation method helps you feel deeply relaxed and drowsy without losing consciousness. You’ll remain aware and able to respond, but less anxious throughout treatment.

Moderate Sedation (Twilight Sedation)

Ideal for patients with strong gag reflexes or anxiety, this type of sedation uses a small dose of general anesthetic. You’ll feel sleepy and relaxed but will stay awake and able to follow instructions. Often used for procedures like extractions, implants, or veneer prep.

Deep Sedation (IV Sedation)

With IV sedation, you’ll fall asleep and won’t be easily awakened during the procedure. You’ll have little to no memory of the visit. This is best for complex oral surgeries or patients with significant dental anxiety.
