Comfort-First Dentistry

We understand that visiting the dentist can be a stressful experience for some children. That's why we offer sedation dentistry options to help make their visit more comfortable and relaxed.

Our experienced team will work with you and your child to develop a personalized plan that ensures their comfort and wellbeing throughout the entire process.

Sedation Options

Nitrous Oxide

Laughing Gas

A safe and effective sedative agent combined with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask. This gentle sedative reduces anxiety and minimizes discomfort during dental procedures. We offer several scented masks — cherry, bubble gum, grape, and orange — to make the experience more pleasant.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Liquid Medication

For children who require a stronger form of sedation, our pediatric dentist will provide a liquid medication that your child will drink before their dental procedure. This type of sedation enhances cooperation and reduces anxiety and discomfort related to dental treatment.

General Anesthesia

Full Sedation

For young children with a high level of anxiety or who require special care, general anesthesia may be necessary. Typically recommended for children with extensive decay, it allows us to perform all necessary dental procedures in a safe and controlled environment.

Insurance Information

We accept PPO, DHMO, and HMO plans. Contact us to verify your specific coverage.
