We offer nitrous oxide and IV sedation to help anxious patients receive the dental care they need in complete comfort. Safe, effective, and administered by our experienced specialist.
Inhaled through a small mask, nitrous oxide produces a relaxed, slightly euphoric feeling within minutes. It wears off quickly, so you can drive home afterward. Ideal for mild anxiety.
Medication delivered intravenously produces a deeply relaxed state. You remain conscious and can respond to instructions, but most patients have little or no memory of the procedure. You will need a driver.
All our procedures include effective local anesthesia to ensure the treatment site is fully numb. Even without sedation, most patients are surprised by how comfortable modern dental specialist care can be.
Yes, when administered by a trained specialist. Dr. Steven Leung is qualified to provide IV sedation in an office setting. Your vital signs are monitored throughout the procedure.
Sedation is appropriate for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty getting numb, complex or lengthy treatment needs, or special needs.
Not fully. IV sedation puts you in a deeply relaxed, sleep-like state but you remain conscious and able to respond to instructions. Most patients have little or no memory of the procedure afterward.
