Sedation Dentistry in Perrysburg, OH
Is dental anxiety keeping you out of the chair? You're not alone. Ask us about laughing gas or oral sedation.
You're in good hands
Many of our patients describe themselves as anxious about the dentist. They often tell us how compassionate, kind, and honest our team is, and that they never feel pressured.
Your comfort is our priority. We take the time to listen, explain, and care.
Sedation options we offer
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide)
You breathe it through a small mask over your nose. It helps you feel relaxed during treatment. We'll explain what to expect afterward.
Oral sedation
You take prescribed medication as directed for your appointment. It helps you feel calm and drowsy, but you're still awake enough to respond. You'll need someone to drive you to and from your visit.
Your doctor will recommend the option that fits your health and the treatment you need.
