To ensure a comfortable, fear-free experience, we provide safe and effective sedation options. Every sedation plan begins with a consultation to review your medical history and determine whether our office is the right setting to safely accommodate your specific needs. If we are a good fit for your care, we will work with you to select the best choice based on your comfort level:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild, inhaled sedative that helps you feel relaxed and at ease while remaining fully awake. The effects wear off within minutes once the procedure is complete, allowing you to safely drive yourself home and resume your normal daily activities.
- Minimal Sedation (Triazolam): A prescribed medication taken prior to your appointment that provides a deeper level of relaxation. You will remain conscious and responsive but will feel very drowsy, and you may even sleep through the procedure. Please note: If you choose minimal sedation, you must arrange for a driver to bring you to and from your appointment.
- Continuous Monitoring: Regardless of the sedation method you choose, our specialized team closely monitors your vital signs throughout your entire visit to guarantee your safety and well-being.
