Calm, Comfortable Care Options

We offer two primary sedation options:

  • Nitrous Oxide: Mild sedation that wears off quickly
  • Oral Sedation: Deeper relaxation with prescribed medication

Both options are safe and effective, tailored to your anxiety level and the complexity of your treatment. Dr. Kwakye will discuss your medical history and preferences to determine the best sedation method for you, ensuring a comfortable and anxiety-free dental experience.

Your Sedation Dentistry Experience

Your journey to stress-free dental care begins with a thorough consultation. To create a personalized sedation plan, Dr. Kwakye will discuss your concerns, medical history, and treatment needs in a comfortable and supportive environment. We'll take the time to listen to your questions and address any concerns you may have about the sedation options available to you. Our goal is to ensure that you feel informed and empowered to make decisions about your dental treatment.


On the day of your procedure, our experienced team will administer the chosen sedation method and closely monitor you throughout your treatment. With nitrous oxide, you'll feel relaxed but remain awake and able to communicate. Oral sedation may induce a deeper state of relaxation, and you'll need someone to drive you home afterward. You'll receive high-quality dental care in a calm, comfortable environment in both cases.
