With this sedation method, you can remain conscious and alert during the procedure while feeling calm and at ease. Get your dental work done with less stress!

What Happens During the Nitrous Sedation Process?
Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative that can help you feel calm and relaxed during your dental procedure. A small mask will be placed over your nose, allowing you to breathe in the pleasant-smelling gas and experience its soothing effects almost immediately. The effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, but it is important to have a friend or family member available to drive you home as you may not be able to drive yourself.
