Sedation

At Above and Beyond Dentistry, we offer several sedation options to ensure your comfort during dental procedures:

IV Sedation

Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation takes effect immediately, putting you in a relaxed, sleep-like state. You’ll remain deeply relaxed throughout the procedure and wake up feeling groggy or sleepy, with no memory of what happened.

Oral Sedation

If needles make you uneasy, oral sedation is a great option. You’ll take a prescribed pill before your appointment, helping you feel calm and pain-free during your visit. This method eases anxiety and provides a relaxed, comfortable experience.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Breathe in this colorless, odorless gas, and you’ll feel your nerves calm right away. Nitrous oxide provides gentle pain management, ensuring you’re relaxed and comfortable without any lingering drowsiness afterward. It’s a safe and effective way to stay calm during your treatment.

If dental visits make you anxious, or you’d rather avoid feeling any discomfort, call Above and Beyond Dentistry to discuss which sedation option suits you best!
