Your Comfort
Relax For All Your Treatments
Our doctors take pride in being able to provide painless shots to make their patients' dental treatments more comfortable. But some people become anxious just at the thought of an injection. For those who still have fear of dental visits, we have an easy solution that will let you feel comfortable while the work is being performed.
By taking one pill just an hour before your work begins, you will feel very relaxed and be sedated enough to be unaware of the treatment, but aware enough to be able to respond to any questions. This solution works well for those with worries and also those that need more work accomplished in a single visit.
Sedation with Nitrous Oxide
This medication, also referred to as laughing gas, is inhaled through a small mask. It induces and maintains a state of relaxation as the patient breathes. Together with a local anesthetic that is given, pain is eliminated.

Are
You Nervous or Fearful 
About Your Dental Visit? You Won’t Be Anymore!
You may be one of the many who stay away from dental offices
because of the fear and anxiety from a dentist’s drills,
needles, and treatments that take too long. But now, you can say
goodbye to such an anxious experience as we offer you conscious
sedation dentistry. It is easy and effective. One hour before
your appointment you take a pill we have previously given you.
When you arrive for your appointment, you will feel quite
relaxed. As you sit in the dental chair, progressively you will
reach a deeper level of sedation where you are still conscious
and able to answer questions asked by the doctor. Throughout
your treatment, you are monitored. When your procedure is
completed, someone will need to drive you home and in just an
hour, you will be back to your normal alertness.
Your level of sedation is less than what is required for
surgery. This alternative is for fearful patients – not just
fear of dentistry but fear of being unconscious and letting go
of control. But conscious sedation lets you be aware of what’s
happening without the anxiety or fear of treatment.
We also offer this type of sedation for those who cannot get
numb with anesthesia or for those who do not have time for
repeated visits to the dentist and would like more work done in
a longer appointment. Another alternative for some patients is
nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to take care of problems in just
one visit!
