Nitrous Oxide ("Laughing Gas")

A kid- and adult-friendly favorite! Nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask and helps you feel calm while staying awake and aware. Best of all, the effects wear off quickly, so you can get back to your day without delay.

IV Sedation

For patients needing a higher level of relaxation, IV sedation is a fantastic choice. Administered through a small needle in your arm or hand, this method works quickly and is easily adjusted to your comfort level during the procedure. It’s ideal for longer or more complex treatments, letting you rest peacefully while we care for your smile.
