Sedation Dentistry
Keeping you comfortable during your treatment.
Do You Sometimes Feel Anxious During Dental Appointments?
We understand that coming in for a dental procedure can be intimidating and can make some patients feel anxious. Sedation dentistry allows you to undergo everything from a simple cleaning to extensive implant treatment without the fear and discomfort that some experience at the dentist.
As a periodontist trained in sedation, Dr. Gibson will take the time to talk you through our sedation options so you can decide which option suits your needs best.
We Have Three Sedation Options to Keep You Comfortable
IV Sedation
During IV sedation, you are in a “semi-awake” state of reduced anxiety and are able to respond to verbal commands or to light physical touch.
Oral Sedation
Causes relaxation during procedures by using ingested medication. The patient takes the medication ahead of arriving for their appointment.
Nitrous Oxide
Sedation with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) has proven to be an effective and safe technique for the reduction of stress when apprehensive or anxious.
