Experience Dentistry Free from Stress and Anxiety
At our clinic, we understand that dental procedures can cause anxiety or discomfort. That’s why we offer safe and effective sedation options—local freezing, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and oral sedation—to help you stay calm and at ease during your visit.
Types of Sedation
Local Freezing
Local freezing is a reliable method to numb the area being treated. A small amount of local anesthetic is applied to the area, ensuring you won’t feel pain, only pressure. Ideal for quick and routine treatments.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a gentle and effective form of sedation that helps reduce anxiety while keeping you fully conscious. Delivered through a mask, it creates a relaxed, comfortable feeling, and the effects wear off quickly, so you can resume normal activities after your visit.
Oral Sedation
For a deeper level of relaxation, oral sedation might be the right choice. A prescription pill taken before your procedure helps reduce anxiety and induces a calm, drowsy feeling. It won’t put you to sleep, but you’ll feel relaxed and at ease. Due to its sedative effects, make sure to arrange transportation to and from your appointment.
The Benefits of Dental Sedation
Dental sedation offers a variety of benefits, ensuring a more comfortable and relaxed experience:
Reducing Dental Anxiety
If fear or anxiety has been preventing you from receiving dental care, sedation can help. Whether you experience mild unease or severe dental phobia, we can adjust the level of sedation to make your visit stress-free.
Comfort During Long Procedures
For lengthy treatments, conscious sedation ensures you remain at ease throughout the procedure. Nitrous oxide or oral sedation can help the time pass quickly, leaving you relaxed and comfortable from start to finish.
Personalized Care
Every patient’s needs are different. Whether you have a sensitive gag reflex or find it difficult to remain still for extended periods, we can customize your sedation to make dental care accessible and comfortable for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, dental sedation is safe. We review each patient’s medical history to ensure sedation dentistry is the right option for you, tailoring the treatment to your specific needs.
Sedation makes you feel relaxed and drowsy quickly. Some people report a mild tingling sensation. You may also experience mild amnesia afterward, and you may not remember parts of the procedure.
Most sedation options don’t involve being put to sleep. Instead, sedation helps you feel deeply relaxed and calm. You may not even remember any part of the procedure once it’s over.
Yes, it’s important to have a friend or family member drive you home after sedation. Sedation can take time to wear off, so you’ll need someone to assist you until you fully recover.
Sedation recovery time depends on the type used but generally takes between 2 to 8 hours. We recommend taking the rest of the day off to recover and waiting at least 24 hours before resuming your regular activities.
