We perform procedures like tooth extractions and dental implant placement surgery all the time here at New U Dentures and Implants. We understand that these treatments can cause a lot of people to feel nervous, which is why we’re happy to offer sedation dentistry. With it, we can prevent physical discomfort, calm racing thoughts, and ensure a patient stays completely relaxed on the journey toward their new smile.

With this method, we can help you start feeling relaxed before you even step foot in our dental office! You’ll be prescribed medication to take at home on the day of your appointment, and we may give you more when you arrive. By the time you sit in the treatment chair, any nerves should be long gone. You’ll remain awake, but the appointment should fly by very quickly, and you likely will only have fuzzy memories of it afterward.
For patients with only minor dental anxiety, we can have them breathe in a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Within a few minutes, the odorless, colorless gas helps a patient feel calmer, warmer, and slightly numb all over. This prevents any unpleasant physical or mental sensations, and we can adjust the amount of nitrous oxide someone is receiving based on how they are feeling throughout a procedure. Once we’re done and the mask is removed, the effects of the gas quickly go away, meaning a patient can go straight back to their day.
