Our caring team is dedicated to making every visit as smooth and comfortable as possible, ensuring that you feel completely at ease throughout your time with us.

What is Nitrous Oxide Sedation, and How Does it Work?

Nitrous oxide sedation is a mild, inhaled sedative that helps patients feel calm and relaxed. It is administered through a small mask placed over the nose, allowing the patient to breathe in the gas throughout the procedure. Nitrous oxide works quickly, inducing a state of relaxation without causing unconsciousness. The effects wear off just as quickly once the mask is removed, allowing you to resume your day shortly after your appointment.

For those who need additional comfort options, we offer a range of anxiety-free dental solutions. Learn more on our Anxiety-Free Dentistry page.
