Local Anesthesia
Numbs the treatment area while you stay awake and aware. This is the standard approach for more straightforward procedures.
Nitrous Oxide
A mild, inhaled sedative that helps ease anxiety without putting you to sleep. It wears off quickly, so you can typically drive yourself home afterward. Usually paired with local anesthesia.
Oral Premedication
A calming medication taken before your visit, for patients who feel anxious about a procedure but don't need a deeper level of sedation.
IV Sedation
Delivered through a vein for a deeper, more complete state of relaxation. Often used for more involved procedures like wisdom teeth removal, or for patients with higher levels of dental anxiety. You'll need a driver for this option.
