Types of Anesthesia:
The right choice for anesthesia depends on both your level of anxiety and the complexity of your procedure.

Local anesthesia
Local anesthesia numbs only the area being treated, so you remain fully awake and aware throughout the procedure. It’s fast, effective, and ideal for patients who have no anxiety about the planned procedure. Most patients experience only mild pressure without pain.

Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas, this inhaled gas relieves anxiety and helps you feel more relaxed. You remain awake and responsive, and the effects wear off quickly once discontinued. It is useful for patients with mild dental anxiety.

Sedation
IV sedation, also known as deep sedation, is the best option for patients who want to be deeply relaxed and comfortable. During sedation you breathe on your own the entire time – there is no breathing machine or invasive airway. Other than anesthesiologists, our board certified oral and facial surgeons are the only medical providers qualified to sedate patients at this level. Many patients remember little to nothing about the procedure, making it an excellent option for wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, or longer surgeries. You’ll be carefully monitored at all times to ensure safety. A designated driver is required to take you home after the procedure.
