Along with regular brushing and flossing at home, keeping up with routine dental cleanings and exams is crucial to ensuring that you maintain the brightest, healthiest smile possible.
However, many people are afraid of the dentist, often to the point that their dental anxiety prevents them from getting any sort of dental care at all.
Over time, a neglected mouth can develop cavities, gum disease, and other problems that can affect the look of your smile and even cause you to lose your teeth.

Relax With Our Dental Sedation
To make sure you’re as comfortable as possible and that your exam or procedure goes off without a hitch, we offer you these great choices for sedation:
- Inhaled sedation using laughing gas will give you an all-over tingly feeling and sense of euphoria. You’ll begin to feel its effects almost as soon as you breathe in this sweet-smelling gas. Its effects diminish quickly, however, once we give you fresh oxygen to breathe in. This sedation is great for patients with mild dental anxiety.
- With oral conscious sedation, your dentist will prescribe an FDA-approved pill that you’ll take as directed before your appointment. By the time you’re seated in our chair, you’ll feel completely relaxed all over – you may even feel slightly groggy. However, you’ll remain awake and able to communicate with our staff. You’ll need to have a trusted friend or family member drive you home afterward, as the pill will take a few hours to wear off.
In addition to our sedation options, we also use computer-controlled local anesthesia. This innovative technology eliminates the sting of traditional anesthesia, plus it won’t leave half your face numb for several hours after you’ve left our office.
