Anxiety Reduction & Pain Reduction
A Consistently Relaxing Experience
We invite you to take a deep breath and leave your dental anxieties in the past. In addition to our calming office environment and caring team, we offer anti-anxiety treatments, such as Nitrous Oxide (Laughing gas) and Oral Sedation (Medication) to lower a patient's feelings of stress and fear during the procedure. Your are in good hands with our experienced dental team.
Patients are happy to know that on top of audio-visual entertainment options, upon request we can administer both nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation medications. We prioritize your comfort during all phases of treatment, so let us know what we can do to help you feel calm during your visit.
Remember that our team specializes in treating individuals with dental anxiety, patients with phobias, and those who have been traumatized by past medical experiences. We understand your fears and promise to be patient and gentle. If you would like something to help ‘take the edge off’, instead of suffering in silence, please be sure to let your dental health professional know.
“The staff were incredible. Very accommodating due to my phobia about the dentist...Dr. Cruz didn’t overcharge me and was very detailed with my teeth. The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was amazing and gentle and made me feel calm. I would recommend this dentist and staff for everyone. Happiest experience I ever had at a dentist appointment.”

Anxiety Reduction and Pain Reduction Options
We offer pre-procedure treatments, such as Nitrous Oxide (Laughing gas) and Oral Sedation (Medication) to lower a patient's feelings of stress and anxiety during the procedure.
Nitrous Oxide AKA Laughing Gas
Nitrous Oxide, or Laughing Gas, can be used as an option to alleviate discomfort and feelings of stress and anxiety during a dental procedure. Nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless to sweet-smelling gas. The combination of inhaled nitrous oxide and oxygen can be a safe and effective means of managing pain and anxiety in dentistry. While most procedures are done with just local anesthetics, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation is always available for anxious patients.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is the administration of medication to the patient in order to reducing pain, anxiety, or discomfort associated with treatment. Ask our dentist about different pharmacological options to make your visit as comfortable as possible for you.
Pain Reduction Options
For pain reduction and anxiety reduction during a procedure, our doctor is able to administer a combination of oral medication and local anesthetic.
