Sedation Dentistry

If fear has kept you away from the dentist, you're not alone, and you're in the right place. Dr. Raju is trained in conscious sedation through DOCS (the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation) and offers gentle options so you can relax through treatment.

Your options

Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) takes the edge off and wears off within minutes. Oral conscious sedation, a pill taken before your visit, lets you rest comfortably through longer procedures while still able to respond; most patients remember little. We monitor you throughout, and you'll need a ride home.

Sedation also lets us complete more work in fewer visits, which many busy patients appreciate.
