Types of Sedation We Offer

At DS Dental, we customize sedation options based on your comfort level and the type of treatment. Common methods include: ● Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask that helps you relax but wears off quickly. ● Oral Sedation: Prescription medication taken before treatment to reduce anxiety and create a calm, drowsy state. ● IV Sedation (with specialists): Stronger sedation administered intravenously for patients who need deeper relaxation during complex treatments. Each option is safe, carefully monitored, and explained thoroughly before your appointment. Our goal is to ensure you feel secure, supported, and comfortable throughout your visit.
