If dental visits make you feel anxious or overwhelmed, you're not alone. At Bridge Family Dental, we offer sedation options to help make your appointment more comfortable, whether you're here for a routine visit or a more involved procedure.
what we offer
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
This light sedative is inhaled through a small mask and takes effect within minutes. It helps reduce anxiety while keeping you fully awake and responsive. Once treatment is complete, it wears off quickly—most patients are able to resume normal activities right after their appointment.
Oral sedation
Oral sedation is taken as a prescribed pill before your visit. It provides a deeper sense of calm and is ideal for longer procedures or patients with more significant dental anxiety. You’ll remain conscious, but relaxed and drowsy, and will need a ride home afterward.
