We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation to help make your visit more comfortable and stress-free.

Yes — we ask you to consult with us first to see if you are a candidate, since certain medical conditions (including heart, lung, and liver problems) can be worsened by dental sedation, and to tell us about all prescription, over-the-counter, and dietary supplements you take. We also ask that you fast (clear liquids only) for 6 hours beforehand and arrange a ride home after oral or IV sedation.
