    Comfort First

    Sedation Options

    We believe nobody should feel anxious about oral surgery. We offer a range of sedation choices to match your comfort level and the complexity of your procedure.

    Local Anesthesia

    The area is completely numbed. You are fully awake but feel no pain.

    How it feels

    A sense of pressure, but no sharp sensation.

    Nitrous Oxide

    Also known as 'laughing gas,' this helps you feel relaxed and at ease.

    How it feels

    A gentle, floating sensation that wears off quickly.

    IV Sedation

    A deeper level of relaxation where you are 'twilight' dreaming.

    How it feels

    You'll feel like you've had a short nap and likely won't remember the procedure.
