You may be asking yourself what some of these amenities are that we provide, let us explain them a bit.
- Complementary Nitrous Oxide
Commonly referred to as “laughing gas”, nitrous oxide creates an effect that makes a patient more relaxed. This enables our patients to experience nearly painless dentistry. We use a mixture of nitrous and oxygen so that it’s safe to use, and within 2-5 minutes its pain killing and relaxing effects wash over you. The Nitrous Oxide levels can be adjusted as needed during your visit. The effects have been found to relieve pain, anxiety, and even one’s gag reflex. Nitrous Oxide also leaves your body within 3-5 minutes, as opposed to some oral medications which stay in your system for long periods of time. In a matter of minutes you can leave the office clear headed and able to drive yourself home or back to work. In some cases, patients do not like the effects of the nitrous. If it is not for you, make sure to let us know! We can switch you over to oxygen and have you feeling like yourself again in mere minutes.
- Screens Above Your Dental Chair
Each dental chair has a screen affixed to the ceiling above it. We provide a large selection of movies or music videos to view during your appointment. Providing an auditory and visual distraction to get lost in helps our patients to relax during their procedures.
