Comfortable Dentistry
For many patients, visiting the dentist is an anxiety-ridden experience, whether due to past experiences or stories shared by others. Without regular preventative dental care, cavities, gingivitis, and other oral health-related issues can arise and become severe conditions without proper treatment.
In addition to making your office visits stress-free and positive, we are committed to educating you about the various dental treatment options available to you.

Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide, sometimes called “laughing gas,” is one option your dentist may offer to help make you more comfortable during certain procedures. You will be able to hear and respond to any requests or directions the dentist may have.
Your dentist will ask you to breathe normally through your nose, and within a few short minutes, you should start to feel the effects of the Nitrous Oxide. You won't fall asleep; instead, the Nitrous Oxide simply puts you at ease and eliminates any anxiety you may normally experience.
