At Beacon Hill Dental, we are proud to offer compassionate, informed care, taking extra care to ease dental anxiety with a gentle touch and a soothing office environment. If you have avoided dental care due to fear, anxiety, or negative past experiences, our team is here to help. We offer mild to moderate sedation dentistry to promote relaxation during dental procedures.
Our top sedation dentistry methods in Crown Point, IN include:
Laughing Gas
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild sedative that is inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose. It is used during dental procedures to help patients relax and reduce anxiety while remaining fully conscious. Nitrous oxide can also dull pain sensitivity and create a sense of calm or euphoria. It begins working within minutes and also wears off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing most patients to resume normal activity following the procedure.
Conscious Oral Sedation for Anxiety
Conscious oral sedation is used to help reduce anxiety and fear during dental procedures while the patient stays awake and responsive. Our dentists will prescribe an oral medication to be taken before your procedure. During your treatment, you’ll feel deeply relaxed while still able to respond to verbal cues. Many patients report memory loss of the procedure, which can be helpful for those who experience dental trauma or fear.
