Sedation options at Commonwealth Dentistry
Our sedation dentistry options are designed to ensure your comfort and ease during dental treatments. We offer three levels of sedation to match your specific needs and preferences.
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A light sedation method inhaled through a mask placed over your nose. It helps you relax while remaining fully awake and wears off quickly, allowing you to drive home afterward.
- IV Sedation: Provides moderate to deep sedation administered intravenously. It offers immediate relaxation with minimal memory of the procedure, but you will need someone to drive you home after the appointment.
- Oral Sedation: Involves taking a pill before your appointment to achieve mild to moderate sedation. It helps you feel calm and relaxed while remaining conscious. You may need someone to drive you home after your appointment.
