Sedation Options
Our office offers a variety of sedation options
to make your oral surgery and other dental procedures as painless
as possible. We treat others as we would want to be treated ourselves.
We have a very relaxing atmosphere and a staff that educates and
treats our patients with care and concern. We understand many patients
have fears and concerns about a visit to the dentist and these options
offer a means to help you alleviate some of that anxiety.
- IV Sedation
- IM Sedation
- Oral sedation
- All our staff members are certified in Nitrous Oxide (laughing
gas) monitoring.
Our office has hospital affiliations which allow for more controlled
alternatives in extreme cases.
We also offer sedation alternatives which we're happy to discuss
with you. Our staff keeps up-to-date on all the latest materials,
equipment and training to be able to provide the best dental care
possible.
