IV Sedation

IV sedation is an advanced form of sedation dentistry offered at Lighthouse Dental. This method involves administering sedative medications directly into the bloodstream, allowing for a deeper level of relaxation. IV sedation is particularly beneficial for patients with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing complex procedures. Our skilled team closely monitors your vital signs throughout the treatment, ensuring your safety and comfort.

Moderate Conscious Sedation

Moderate conscious sedation is a middle-ground option that provides a significant level of relaxation while allowing you to remain responsive. This type of sedation is often administered orally or through a combination of oral and inhaled methods. It's an excellent choice for patients with moderate anxiety or for procedures of medium complexity. With moderate conscious sedation, you'll feel deeply relaxed but can still communicate with our dental team if necessary.

Nitrous Sedation

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild form of sedation that's safe and effective for patients of all ages. This method involves inhaling a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a comfortable nose mask. Nitrous sedation induces a state of relaxation and mild euphoria, helping to alleviate anxiety during dental procedures. One of the benefits of nitrous sedation is its quick onset and offset, allowing you to drive yourself home after your appointment.
