Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry isn't just for people with dental anxiety. It's for anyone who wants a smoother, more positive experience in the chair. From complex restorative work to simple cleanings that feel overwhelming, sedation allows you to receive care on your terms. It can:

• Reduce Dental Nerves - You can feel more in control and less overwhelmed throughout your appointment.
• Minimize Discomfort - Sedation reduces both physical and emotional discomfort during procedures.
• Improve Efficiency - Your dentist can often complete more work in fewer visits.
• Eliminate Negative Triggers - Sedation can help if you struggle with a sensory disorder or gag reflex.
• Enhance Your Oral Health - When you're more comfortable, you're more likely to keep up with care.
• Reduce Stress of Complex Procedures - You will feel more comfortable with the idea of extensive treatments.
• Build Trust Over Time - Positive experiences with sedation can reduce your fear long-term for better health.

Our practice offers three types of sedation to meet a wide range of comfort levels. Dr. Kar will talk through your medical history, dental concerns, and sedation preferences. Your options include:

• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) - This light form of sedation is delivered through a nose mask. You'll remain awake but relaxed. The effects wear off within minutes.
• Oral Sedation - You'll take a prescribed pill taken before your appointment. You'll remain conscious but deeply relaxed and may remember little afterward. You will need to arrange for a ride home.
• General Anesthesia - We can bring in a licensed anesthesia provider to administer general anesthesia. This option is ideal for medically sensitive, high-fear cases, or complex procedures. You will need a ride home.

Since we schedule appointments to have only a few patients in the office at once, you can expect a quiet, relaxing environment. You will have a calm and easygoing visit.
