Enjoy a Worry-free Appointment With Your Choice of Sedation

Our comprehensive care takes your emotional well-being into account. Whether you feel extremely anxious or simply a little nervous about orthodontic treatments, sedation can ease the stress of your appointment. It will make your visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

We offer:

  • Laughing Gas –  This mild form of sedation is inhaled through a mask. It induces a relaxed and euphoric sensation, keeping you completely at ease throughout the visit. There are no lingering effects, since it quickly wears off.
  • Oral Sedation – Administered in the form of a pill, oral sedation gives you a deep sense of relaxation while still keeping you conscious. You may feel drowsy as a result. Because the effects last a few hours, you will need a ride home after your appointment.
  • IV Sedation –  This option provides the deepest level of sedation, normally for patients with severe anxiety. You’ll feel drowsy or even fall asleep during the appointment. Like oral sedation, you won’t be able to drive afterward.

Our experienced team will discuss which type of sedation is right for you, taking into account your medical history and level of anxiety. If you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, you can expect a painless experience the whole way through. These clear aligners do not require adjustments like braces.
