Our Sedation Options

Two safe, proven methods to match your comfort needs.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild sedative inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. You feel calm and relaxed within minutes while remaining fully conscious and able to communicate. Effects wear off quickly after removal.

  • Fast-acting, wears off quickly
  • Adjustable sedation level
  • Safe for children and adults
  • No recovery time needed

Oral Conscious Sedation

A prescribed medication taken before your appointment produces deeper relaxation while keeping you conscious. You will feel drowsy and deeply relaxed, with little or no memory of the procedure.

  • Deeper level of relaxation
  • Ideal for moderate to severe anxiety
  • No needles or IV required
  • Effective for longer procedures
