Rest Comfortably While We Work on Your Smile

Some people avoid going to the dentist because their anxiety is so strong that they just can’t bear the thought of having someone work on their mouth. Over time, this may create dental problems that can cause pain and lead to an emergency. That’s the last thing we want for you! No matter how anxious you are about your dental care, we have a sedation solution to fit your needs. Your options include:

  • Inhaled Sedation – You’ll breathe in laughing gas, which will immediately go to work to produce a feeling of lightness and euphoria. Best of all, there aren’t any lingering aftereffects.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation – Dr. Keene will prescribe an FDA-approved pill to take beforehand. You’ll feel completely relaxed by the time you’re settled into the dental chair and you’ll stay calm throughout your treatment.
  • IV Sedation – A licensed anesthesiologist will administer our deepest level of sedation. You’ll be in a “twilight” state. You likely won’t remember much about your procedure afterward. This sedation works especially well for complex or multiple procedures.

You’ll also find many patient amenities to help you feel at home:

  • Private patient care rooms for discretion
  • Bose noise-canceling headphones for a diversion
  • Soft pillows for head and neck support
  • Cozy blankets in case you get chilly

Common Questions About Sedation Options
Does sedation dentistry work for most patients?

Yes, we offer multiple levels of sedation dentistry to calm the fear and anxiety of any patient. We’ll discuss each type of sedation in detail and help you decide on the one that will work best for your procedure. Our goal is to provide you with pain-free, anxiety-free care every time you visit our office. Our sedation options help make sure that happens.

Is dental sedation effective?

Dental sedation is highly effective, especially when you can choose the method according to your specific needs. Inhaled sedation is a quick, safe way to take the edge off for mildly anxious patients of all ages. Oral sedation can help moderately anxious patients reach a deeper state of relaxation. Severely anxious patients or those who require longer, more complicated dental procedures can opt for the strongest form of sedation administered through an IV.

Are your sedation options safe?

Yes, our sedation dentistry is completely safe because it is expertly administered and monitored by our trained team. Inhaled sedation uses mild laughing gas, which is safe even for children. Oral conscious sedation works using a small, FDA-approved pill. IV sedation can be adjusted throughout treatment. You can feel confident in our team’s ability to use our dental sedation options for your benefit.
