Find the Right Option to Get the Dental Care You Deserve
Inhaled sedation (or laughing gas) is a safe and noninvasive method suitable for patients of all ages, including children. It takes effect quickly and can be easily adjusted during treatment. This gentle form of sedation wears off rapidly, allowing you to recover without lingering grogginess. For more extensive procedures, oral sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation. Due to its longer-lasting effects, you will require transportation home after treatment.
If you'd prefer a drug-free alternative, NuCalm mimics the brain's natural transition into early sleep stages. This method combines natural amino acid supplements, calming audio, light-blocking glasses, and FDA-approved relaxation patches placed behind the ears. This innovative approach offers patients a holistic way to relax during dental visits without the use of traditional sedatives.
Enjoy Personalized Treatment
To ensure you receive the right level of sedation, we will consider your physical condition, your prior experiences at the dentist, and the kind of treatment you'll receive. We encourage you to be honest with us about your pain tolerance and your past history with sedation. Working together, we'll select the kind of sedation that will work best to relieve your anxiety.
You'll also appreciate our relaxing atmosphere, which feels like a home and not a clinic. Help yourself to a refreshment from our beverage bar! During your treatment, you can watch TV or a movie on a ceiling-mounted monitor while we work. A warm blanket and neck or back pillows also will help you stay comfortable and cozy.
