Finding the Right Sedation Option
When it comes to dental sedation, we offer two sedation options: nitrous oxide (often called laughing gas) and oral sedation. Both methods help you stay relaxed during your dental treatment, but they work in slightly different ways.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
- Administered through a small mask, which is placed over your nose
- Helps you feel drowsy yet allows you to remain awake and alert enough to communicate
- Effects wear off quickly, so you can often drive home afterward
- Great for minimizing dental anxiety while maintaining conscious sedation
Oral Sedation
- Taken in pill form before your appointment
- Induces a deeper level of relaxation, causing you to feel calm and sometimes sleepy
- Although you’ll still be awake, you may have little memory of the dental procedure
- Often suitable for longer sessions or treatments like a dental implant placement
- Requires a companion to drive you to and from the office
