Sedation dentistry is very safe for both children and older adults when administered by experienced professionals. Signature Smiles offers several sedation options tailored to your comfort level, medical history, and the type of procedure you need.
Our sedation dentists in Cary, NC, provide:
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) — This is a mild sedative that helps calm nerves and wears off quickly. It’s ideal for children and adults alike.
- Oral sedation — Oral sedation is a pill taken before your appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed while still awake.
- IV sedation — IV sedation offers deep relaxation and comfort, with little to no memory of the procedure.
- General anesthesia — For more complex or extensive procedures, we coordinate care with a licensed anesthesiologist who comes directly to our Cary dental office.
For children who feel anxious in the dental chair or require multiple procedures, nitrous oxide is often an effective way to make visits smoother and more positive. For older adults, especially those with medical conditions or heightened dental anxiety, oral sedation or general anesthesia can make treatment more comfortable and stress-free.
We always take the time to review your medical history, medications, and any concerns before recommending a sedation plan.
