Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, helps patients feel calm and relaxed during dental treatment. At University Dental Implant Center, we offer nitrous oxide sedation for patients who feel nervous or want a more comfortable dental visit.
This gentle form of sedation works quickly and wears off fast, allowing you to return to your normal activities soon after your appointment.
Nitrous oxide is a safe gas that you breathe in through a small mask placed over your nose. It creates a feeling of calm and comfort while keeping you awake and aware during treatment.
You can still respond to instructions, but you will feel relaxed and less sensitive to discomfort.
Nitrous oxide may be right for you if you:
Our team will review your health history and help you decide if nitrous oxide is a good option for you.
Your comfort is our priority. Our trained team carefully controls the amount of nitrous oxide you receive and monitors you throughout your visit. After treatment, pure oxygen is given to help the effects wear off quickly.
Most patients feel normal again within minutes.
If dental visits make you feel uneasy, nitrous oxide can help make your experience calm and comfortable.
