Sedation Dentistry

Many people experience dental anxiety. This common phobia affects millions of Americans, but it is easily treatable. Dr. Fisher offers safe, soothing sedation methods to calm your nerves and allay your fears.

At your consultation, Dr. Fisher will discuss your concerns, as well as your medical history and current medications, if any. If you're a candidate for sedation dentistry, Dr. Fisher will help you choose the right method for your unique needs. We offer:

Oral sedation – You'll take a safe, commonly prescribed sedative prior to your visit and relax into a state of complete calm. Most patients sleep though the whole process. Oral sedation wears off gradually and leaves patients with no memory of treatment details. You cannot drive while sedated, so you'll need to have a friend or family member bring you and take you home.
Oral conscious sedation – As with oral sedation, you'll take a sedative to alleviate anxiety, but Dr. Fisher will administer nitrous oxide (laughing) gas during your procedures to enhance sedation. The effects of this sedation method diminish gently following treatment, so you'll need someone to bring you and take you home.
Nitrous oxide – Also known as laughing gas, this commonly used anesthetic is inhaled through a mask. Nitrous oxide alleviates anxiety and diminishes potential discomfort. It wears off quickly following completion of your procedures so you are fine to drive yourself home or back to work.
