Sedation Dentistry
Your Path to Truly Relaxing Care
Feeling anxious or apprehensive before your dental visit is perfectly normal – you’re not alone, and we’re here to help. With sedation options, you can take back control of your smile care and stop letting fear affect your health and your life.
Transform your dental experience into one of calm and comfort, and achieve a healthy, confident smile without the stress.
Sedation Is Ideal If You:
- Feel anxious or nervous about dental treatment
- Have had negative dental experiences in the past
- Have difficulty getting or staying numb
- Simply want a more comfortable and relaxed visit

Our Gentle Sedation Options
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas):
- A mild, inhaled gas that helps you feel relaxed and calm almost instantly.
- The effects wear off within minutes after treatment, allowing you to drive yourself home.
- Oral Sedation:
- A prescribed medication taken before your appointment.
- Helps you feel profoundly calm and at ease by the time your treatment begins.
- IV Sedation:
- Administered intravenously for quick, precise control over your comfort level.
- You’ll feel deeply relaxed and may even drift off to sleep, with little to no memory of your procedure.
Your Safety & Comfort Are Our Top Priority
Your well-being is always our top concern. Our highly trained team, led by Dr. Nicole Richardson, will carefully monitor you throughout your entire visit to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
Please note: If you choose Oral or IV Sedation, you’ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you to and from your appointment.
