Your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities. We understand that visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety for some, which is why we offer nitrous oxide sedation, commonly known as “laughing gas,” to make your dental experience as relaxed and pleasant as possible. Whether you are coming in for porcelain dental veneers, a routine cleaning, cosmetic enhancement or more extensive dental work, nitrous oxide can help you feel at ease.
What To Expect with Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is a colorless and odorless gas that has been safely used in dentistry for decades. It is administered through a small mask placed over your nose, allowing you to breathe it in comfortably. Within moments, you will begin to feel a sense of calm and relaxation, making the entire dental procedure much more manageable. You will remain fully conscious and able to communicate with our dentists and team, but any feelings of anxiety or discomfort will fade away.
The Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation
One of the primary benefits of using nitrous oxide is its ability to significantly reduce anxiety and fear, which are common barriers to receiving necessary dental care. This mild sedative allows you to relax and feel comfortable throughout your appointment, ensuring a more positive experience. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly, which means you can drive yourself home after the procedure and resume your normal activities almost immediately.
Nitrous oxide also has a pain-relieving effect, enhancing comfort during treatments and allowing for more efficient dental work. Its fast onset and easy adjustability mean that we can tailor the sedation to your specific needs, ensuring you receive just the right amount of relaxation.
