Feel Relaxed During Your Procedure With Sedation

Even with all the amenities available at our practice, our team knows that sometimes you need extra help to feel calm during your appointment. That’s why Dr. Anderson provides a range of sedation solutions suitable for your anxiety levels. Whether you’re having a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, sedation can help you relax and receive the care you need.

You can choose from:

  • Laughing Gas – This mild sedative is inhaled through a small mask. It works quickly, so you will instantly feel relaxed and at ease. You’ll remain awake but feel calm throughout your treatment. The effects wear off fast, so you can drive home safely.
  • Oral Sedation – Your dentist will give you a prescription for an oral sedative that you take before your appointment. By the time you arrive, you will feel deeply relaxed. You will remain awake but less aware of your surroundings. You’ll need a family member or friend to drive you home afterward.
  • IV Sedation – Dr. Anderson is certified to administer IV sedation for maximum relaxation. This method puts you in a sleep-like state. It’s ideal for longer procedures or if you have severe anxiety. You’ll have little to no memory of your treatment. You will need a ride home.

Dr. Anderson will review which option is right for you, based on your level of anxiety and the procedure you are undergoing. Plus, you’ll appreciate that our office has soothing amenities like pillows and blankets to enhance your experience. You’ll be amazed at how peaceful your visits can be with the right dental practice!
