When you need a little extra calming for certain dental procedures or minor surgery, sedation therapy can help. We offer a variety of sedation options to put you at ease such as nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”), among others. There are sedation options to calm the nerves, but still allow you to be fully aware.
General anesthesia is used for more extensive surgical procedures where it is necessary for the patient to be “put to sleep.” In any case, we will discuss your medical history, current medications, or allergies. We want to make sure there are no known issues that could interfere with the sedatives or anesthesia. You will be monitored during your procedure for a safe and smooth experience.
