Experience Gentle Care

We can recommend different sedation options based on your needs. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, provides relief without the wait. You simply breathe it in through a comfortable nose mask.

During the procedure, you'll feel a wave of calmness wash over you. You will be able to respond to your dentist's instructions with ease. You can safely drive yourself home afterward.

Anti-anxiety medication is available if you have moderate to severe nerves. You'll take a prescribed pill before your appointment. When you arrive, you will feel deeply relaxed but still awake throughout your procedure.

Because the effects linger, someone will need to drive you home. We'll monitor you throughout your appointment, no matter which option you choose.

Select the Right Sedation Method

Before recommending sedation, your dentist takes time to understand your specific concerns. We'll discuss your anxiety level during your consultation.

We'll also take into consideration your procedure, your medical history, and any medication you are taking. You'll fully understand the benefits and considerations for each type of sedation in clear terms.

By focusing on ways to relieve anxiety, your dentist can help you achieve a full, healthy smile. We complete multiple procedures in a single visit while you remain relaxed.

Before you know it, you will build positive associations with dental visits. With sedation options in Beaverton, you'll enjoy high-quality dental care without fear.

Common Questions About Sedation Options

Is dental sedation safe?

Yes, dental sedation is extremely safe when administered by our trained professionals. We carefully review your medical history and current medications before recommending any sedation option. Your vital signs are monitored throughout your entire appointment to ensure your safety. Each sedation method has been thoroughly tested and approved for dental procedures.

Do I need someone to drive me home after sedation?

If you choose nitrous oxide sedation, you can safely drive yourself home after your appointment. With anti-anxiety medication, someone will need to drive you home afterward. The effects can linger in your system for several hours after your procedure. Your safety is our primary concern, so we strictly enforce this requirement.

How do you determine which sedation option is right for me?

We consider your level of anxiety, medical history, and the complexity of your dental procedure. Your personal preferences and past experiences with dental care are important factors in our recommendation. Any medications you currently take will be evaluated for potential interactions with sedation options. We'll thoroughly discuss all these considerations during your consultation before making a decision together.
