Safe and Gentle Nitrous Sedation for a Pleasant Dental Experience
At Williams Dentistry, our nitrous sedation process is designed to be simple and effective. During your appointment, a small mask is placed over your nose, through which you will inhale a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Within a few minutes, you will begin to feel a sense of calm and relaxation. Throughout the procedure, we continuously monitor and adjust the sedation level to ensure your comfort. The effects of nitrous sedation wear off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing you to leave the office feeling clear-headed and ready to resume your day. Our priority is to make your dental visit as pleasant and stress-free as possible.
