Sedation Options Made for You

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is a safe and widely used sedative in the field of oral surgery. This colorless and odorless gas is administered through a mask, inducing relaxation and euphoria while maintaining consciousness. Nitrous oxide is favorable in oral surgery for its rapid onset and offset, allowing for precise control of sedation levels throughout the procedure. It is particularly beneficial for anxious or apprehensive patients, as it helps alleviate fear and anxiety, making the surgical experience more comfortable. Another notable feature of nitrous oxide is its analgesic properties, providing effective pain relief. As a reversible sedative, patients recover quickly post-procedure without lingering side effects.

IV Sedation

IV sedation involves using an intravenous (IV) delivery of medications, granting us the flexibility to fine-tune your level of sedation throughout the procedure. IV sedation allows you to remain in a twilight state of consciousness, responsive yet deeply relaxed and drowsy. It also offers amnesic effects, helping you forget parts or even the entirety of your treatment. This dental anesthesia option is ideal for patients requiring a higher level of sedation than oral methods while still wanting to remain conscious. It’s important to arrange for a designated driver to assist you in getting home after your appointment for safety reasons.
