Sedation Options

Find the Right Level of Comfort

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

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.

  • Takes effect in 3–5 minutes
  • Fully reversible — drive yourself home
  • Reduces anxiety and gag reflex

IV Sedation (Twilight Sedation)

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.

  • Deep relaxation within 60 seconds
  • Little to no memory of treatment
  • Ideal for complex or lengthy procedures

Local Anesthesia

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.

  • Complete numbness at the treatment site
  • No lingering effects
  • Always included in your treatment
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is IV sedation safe?

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.

Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry?

Sedation is appropriate for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty getting numb, complex or lengthy treatment needs, or special needs.

Will I be asleep under IV sedation?

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.
