Relax With Our Comfort Amenities & Sedation Options

Your comfort is our priority. We offer comforting extras like pillows, blankets, and headphones to help you feel relaxed during your visit.

If you need additional support to ease anxiety, we provide two sedation choices. Laughing gas helps you feel relaxed and at ease during your visit. It wears off swiftly, so you can carry on with your day without any lasting drowsiness.

Oral conscious sedation is a stronger option, taken as a pill before your appointment. It helps you feel deeply relaxed while staying awake and responsive.
