Sedation Dentistry is also helpful for patients that have any level of dental anxiety. We offer a spectrum of sedation services to ensure that all our patients have the ability to receive treatment in comfortable manner.

·    Nitrous Oxide Sedation is helpful for children and adults to use a light inhalation technique to create a more relaxed mood during treatment.

·    Oral Sedation is helpful for patients with a mild level of dental anxiety.

      How it works – You are given a small pill to take an hour prior to your dental appointment. Due to the sedative effects of the medication, you will need someone to drive you to our office.

By the time you arrive, you will be very drowsy. You will be escorted into a comfortable room, covered with a warm blanket and placed on a monitor to watch your vital signs. This little pill will work rapidly to create a relaxed state. Although you are in a deeply relaxed sleep-like state, you are responsive.

Our assistant will then ensure that you are comfortable and the experienced clinical team will take care of your dental needs.

Beyond creating an optimal environment for you, sedation dentistry allows us to complete multiple treatments in one appointment. You can relax from two to six hours. The time you are in the deep relaxed state will vary depending on your needed treatment and type of anesthesia delivered.

When your treatment is completed, you will be escorted to your car by a member of the serenity dental team. Then your companion will take you home. The next day, you will feel refreshed and glad you visited Serenity Dental Care for the health and beauty of your smile!

·    Conscious Sedation is for the Moderate to Severely anxious patient. This involves a level of sedation which allows our patients to sleep through their appointment. This is also helpful to allow patients to have large amounts of treatment completed in one visit.

·    Pediatric Sedation is for children with difficulty completing treatment or for children with more involved treatment plan that is necessary. This is assisted by our Anesthesiologist that comes to our office to ensure a completely safe and effective level of sedation for our pediatric patients

A consultation is recommended for patients with any level of fear about visiting a dentist. The initial consultation will set up an appointment to further discuss our options and what is best for each patient.
