Types of Sedation We Offer

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild form of sedation inhaled through a small mask. It helps you relax during treatment and wears off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities soon after your visit.

Oral Sedation

A sedative medication administered before your appointment to help you feel calm and relaxed. You will remain awake but may feel drowsy throughout the procedure.

IV Sedation

Administered intravenously, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. Patients often have little to no memory of the procedure and remain comfortable throughout treatment.

General Anesthesia (GA)

For more complex procedures or young children with significant anxiety, general anesthesia may be recommended. This is performed by certified dental anesthetists from Altitude Anesthesia, ensuring the highest level of safety and monitoring throughout your procedure.
