At Contemporary Dental Arts, we are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Because dental anxiety is a common concern, we offer gentle sedation dentistry methods to help you feel calm and relaxed during your visit. Our dentists are dedicated to ensuring each of our patients can receive the high-quality care they need without fear or discomfort.
Our dentists and experienced team offer trusted sedation methods like:
Laughing Gas
Laughing gas is a mild, trusted sedative administered through a small mask placed over your nose. The gas helps you feel calm, relaxed, and a little euphoric, but you remain fully conscious and able to respond to our team. The effects wear off within minutes after the mask is removed, allowing you to drive yourself home and resume your daily activities right after your appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
For our patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety or for those undergoing longer or more complex procedures, oral conscious sedation is an excellent choice. This involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment. The medication helps you feel deeply relaxed and drowsy, while staying awake and able to communicate. Oral conscious sedation is very effective at reducing anxiety, and many patients have little to no memory of their procedure.
Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?
Sedation dentistry may be an ideal solution if you:
- Experience moderate to severe dental anxiety or fear
- Need to undergo a lengthy or complex procedure
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Have difficulty sitting still in the dental chair
- Are sensitive to dental sights, sounds, or smells
During your consultation, we will discuss your dental and medical history to determine which sedation method is the safest and most effective for you. Our team is dedicated to providing a comfortable and positive dental experience every time you visit.
