No More Dental Anxiety!
People who have had bad experiences with other dentists often avoid setting up appointments and keeping up with their treatment plan. If you are noticing any warning signs of oral health problems, you must come in for an oral exam as soon as possible.

We offer a range of sedation dentistry treatment options to make your experience that much more relaxing.

Nitrous oxide (N2O)
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a popular method for inducing sedation within a few minutes and is often used with local anesthesia. When the gas is stopped, the patient returns to normal within a few minutes.
Local anesthesia
In some cases, only parts of the mouth need to be numbed and this is accomplished by injecting medicine into the gum or inner cheek.
