We understand that some patients have fear or anxiety around seeing the dentist and receiving dental treatment. Because of this, we do all we can to attend to your specific needs and also offer light sedation dentistry for extra help during more severe treatments.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][dt_fancy_title title=”Sedation Options” title_size=”h2″ title_color=”title”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]

If you are someone who would benefit from light sedation during procedures please reach out to our office to speak to Dr. Kisner to see if you are a candidate.

We offer two different light sedation options for our patients including:

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][dt_fancy_title title=”Nitrous Oxide” title_size=”h2″ title_color=”title”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]

Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide helps the patient manage pain and handle anxiety during a procedure. Nitrous oxide is administered with oxygen through a dental nose piece that is worn throughout your treatment. Contrary to its name nitrous oxide or laughing gas doesn’t make you laugh, it slows down your nervous system.

Dentists recommend laughing gas because it is safe and effective. While using nitrous oxide, you are aware and fully capable of answering questions and can drive yourself home after treatment because it wears off quickly.

We offer sedation medication, which is a stronger form of sedation, to our patients who need that extra calming. Dr. Kisner will speak with you and determine if you are the right candidate, then will prescribe medication to be taken one hour before your appointment. This form of sedation allows you to be awake during your procedure, but you will feel very sleepy and relaxed.

To use medication sedation, you will need to have someone bring you to your appointment and take you home as you will not be able to drive. You will completely recover from sedation a couple of hours after your procedure.
