Relaxing Sedation Dentistry
Are you nervous about going to the dentist? You don’t need to be nervous about coming to our practice. We offer dental sedation to relax our patients.
Dental anxiety affects millions of people, often preventing them from receiving the oral care they need. At Ocean Dentistry Co., we understand that fear of dental procedures can be overwhelming, which is why we’ve made sedation dentistry a cornerstone of our practice.
Our compassionate team is committed to transforming your dental experience from stressful to comfortable, ensuring you can maintain optimal oral health without worry.
Nitrous Laughing Gas
Also known as laughing gas, Nitrous is beneficial in calming a patient’s anxiety before a procedure. It is a sweet-smelling, non-irritating, colorless gas which you can breathe.
It is used primarily for its anesthetic and analgesic properties. It is a safe and effective gas that is inhaled by the patient. It is the most commonly used sedation technique in dentistry. Learn more about Nitrous Oxide sedation.

There are many advantages to using Nitrous:
- The depth of sedation can be altered at any time to increase or decrease sedation.
- There is no after effect such as a “hangover”.
- Inhalation sedation is safe with no side effects on your heart and lungs, etc.
- Inhalation sedation is very effective in minimizing gagging.
- It works rapidly as it reaches the brain within 20 seconds. In as little as 2-3 minutes its relaxation and pain killing properties develop.
Oral Sedation
Are extremely anxious about visiting the dentist? We can administer an oral sedative to relax you before performing any restorative dental procedure.
Safe and effective, Oral Sedation allows you to remain awake and aware, but your anxiety will be reduced for any dental procedure. Oral Sedation can also be combined with a light amount of Nitrous Oxide gas to increase your relaxation.
Most patients find that oral sedation creates such a comfortable experience that they have little memory of the procedure, making it an ideal choice for those who have avoided dental care due to fear or anxiety.

Sedation Dentistry Options
Comprehensive Conscious IV Sedation (moderate)
Conscious IV Sedation is also known as “twilight sleep”.
We are specialty trained to offer this type of sedation. It is particularly good for patients with strong gag reflexes, high dental anxiety or for those patients requiring multi-visit procedures that would prefer for the work to be done in one visit.
IV Sedation is also used in most oral surgery procedures and requires more planning on the patient and doctor’s part.
The patient will be groggy after the procedure and as such, will need a friend or family member to drive them home as well as monitor them for the next few hours.

General Sedation – done by a licensed Dental Anesthesiologist (Deep)
General dental anesthesia – performed in our office by a licensed Dental Anesthesiologist – is an anesthetic method that will render you totally unconscious and unable to feel pain during your procedure.
In your unconscious state, you will not have any fear and anxiety.

Our Client Feedback
As many people are afraid to go to the Dentist, so am I. During my visit the staff and Dr. Emily were extremely comforting and made me feel at ease. From the moment I walked in , Liz greeted me with a smile. The staff made me feel welcomed and Dr. Emily had a gentle touch. Laurie was very helpful with my insurance as I left. I highly recommend this practice.
Had a great first visit at Ocean Dentistry Co. I am new to the area, and the office came as a recommendation from a friend. Very friendly atmosphere. The care was very comprehensive, from the cleaning, X-rays, and exam by the dentist. They really took the time to educate me on the importance of keeping my mouth healthy, something I haven’t quite experienced at other dental offices. Highly recommend!
