Nitrous oxide sedation
Nitrous oxide — sometimes called laughing gas — provides gentle relaxation while allowing you to remain awake and fully responsive. It’s delivered through a small mask, takes effect quickly, and wears off within minutes once the gas is turned off.
This option is often helpful for patients who feel uneasy about dental visits or prefer added comfort during specific procedures.
What nitrous oxide supports

- A calmer dental experience

Why nitrous oxide matter
Feeling tense can make dental visits more challenging. Nitrous oxide helps ease that tension, allowing you to stay present and communicate easily throughout your appointment.
What to expect during your visit
We place a small, comfortable mask over your nose and adjust the flow to a level that feels right for you. Throughout the appointment, we monitor how you’re feeling and communicate clearly to keep you comfortable.
