Our team of sedation dentists hold membership with the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS) and the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, so they are truly qualified to handle your sedation needs.

When you visit, we will carefully examine your medical history and discuss your concerns before beginning treatment. Every patient is different, and we want to understand your case before jumping into sedation options. We will provide you with exceptional dental care in a safe, caring, relaxing environment where you will feel loved and appreciated.

To provide comprehensive care, we offer a few options for sedation dentistry. IV sedation and oral conscious sedation are great for patients with dental phobia or those who need several procedures and have limited time. Nitrous oxide can be used in combination with IV or oral sedation for optimal patient comfort. The denitst will guide you through the entire process, thoroughly explain your options, and recommend the right treatment plan for your unique case.

  • Dental phobia (fear or anxiety about receiving dental treatment)
  • Trouble getting numb
  • A severe gag reflex
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Complicated dental needs
  • A short amount of time to complete dental treatment
