3 Sedation Options

Nitrous Oxide
- Involves inhaling a gas through a nose mask
- Induces a state of relaxation and mood elevation
- It takes effect quickly and wears off quickly
- You can drive yourself home afterward

Oral Conscious Sedation
- Involves taking a prescribed pill before treatment
- Induces a state of near sleep
- You likely won't remember your treatment afterward
- Requires a ride to and from our office

IV Sedation
- Involves the intravenous delivery of sedatives
- Induces the deepest relaxation (but not complete unconsciousness)
- Has an amnesiac effect, so treatment will seem to pass in the blink of an eye
- Fast onset and adjustable for your comfort

What Does Sedation Cost?
This will depend on the type of sedation you receive at our Elizabethtown office and the duration of your treatment. Sedation is not covered by insurance, but it can be a good investment when you consider:
- It can allow you to comfortably receive the dental care you need, preventing the need for more invasive treatments.
- Excellent oral health can reduce your risk of serious and expensive health issues like heart disease.
- It can help establish a better long-term relationship with dental care, so you experience lasting confidence and health.
