Sedation Options

Most of us don’t enjoy visiting the dentist’s office, but it is our goal at Advantage Dentistry to make patients feel comfortable no matter what. Whether you suffer from dental anxiety or desire to take the edge off of a dental cleaning, we have a sedation option that is safe for you. Allow us to explain the difference so that when we see you during your consultation, you’ll have a better understanding of which you may prefer.



  • Oral Conscious – With oral conscious sedation, the patient remains awake but is left in a heightened state of mind. For this option, you will need someone to drive you home after your procedure.



  • Nitrous Oxide – Nitrous, also known as laughing gas, leaves the patient in a euphoric state feeling completely relaxed. All feelings of fear and anxiety will fade away and you will be able to respond to the doctor if need be. Nitrous wears off once the procedure is complete, allowing you to return to your daily activities.



  • Anxiolysis – This light sedative is not as strong as oral sedation but is recommend for those who have mild to moderate anxiety. You will be able to drive yourself home after anxiolysis is administered.


If you have questions or concerns about sedation options, please give us a call. To schedule your appointment with Advantage Dentistry in Kenmore, NY, call our office at 716-877-2275 or visit our website www.advantagedentistry.com for more information about the services we provide.
