Imagine undergoing a root canal, extraction, or oral surgery and waking up without a memory of the noise, discomfort or pain you expected. Two Aces Dentistry proudly offers our patients the option of safe, effective, and comfortable sedation dentistry. You can benefit from this type of procedure if you:
- Have anxiety or fear about being at the dentist
- Cannot sit still for long periods of time
- Have shown prior resistance to getting, and staying numb, through traditional anesthetics
Contact our office to schedule a consultation and find the proper sedation method for you.
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry utilizes a variety of techniques to provide comfortable and safe dental treatments for patients with dental anxiety. Dental sedation offers the following benefits:
- You will lose your sense of time while under sedation
- You will not be able to smell or hear the sounds associated with dental work
- You will be free of fear and anxiety
- You will have no memory of undergoing the procedure
Those who have been sedated for dental work in the past will testify to it being a simple and more relaxing way to experience dentistry.

How are sedatives administered?
Sedatives can be administered in a variety of ways:
- Inhalation: Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is the most common delivery type for easing moderate to mild anxiety. Recovery time is short. You can resume normal activities immediately after use.
- Oral: This type of sedation avoids the use of needles and can be completed before you ever arrive at our office. You will be given a prescription pill roughly an hour before your treatment. By the time you get here, you will enter a deep state of relaxation.
At Two Aces Dentistry, there is no reason to be nervous. Not only are we always professional and respectful, but we are licensed by the American Dental Association. The law has strict guidelines and regulations regarding sedation dentistry.
