Sedation Dentistry – Lockport, IL

Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation

Nitrous oxide is provided once you’re sitting in the dental chair. We place a small nose mask on your face so you can breathe in the colorless, odorless gas over the course of your treatment. Within minutes, you’ll feel calm, relaxed, and even euphoric. Once completed, we can easily remove the nitrous oxide as quickly as it came.

Oral Conscious Dental Sedation

If you have moderate to severe anxiety, oral conscious sedation is a worthwhile option to consider. Prior to your visit, we give you medication that’s taken an hour ahead of your treatment. You’ll feel very relaxed during your care, but will need a family member to drive you home since the effects do tend to linger.

IV Dental Sedation

Those with severe anxiety will find IV sedation to be the most ideal. This sedative is administered through the bloodstream, meaning it will take effect almost immediately. While you’ll be conscious, you won’t have memory of your appointment, making it perfect for those who struggle with negative memories associated with dental visits. It’s also ideal for those in need of multiple or longer treatments.
