Nitrous Oxide in Webster, NY

(Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide is an inhaled method to reduce anxiety. This choice is best for patients with mild anxiety, short appointments, or those who want to return to normal activities immediately. 

Benefits include:

  • Relaxation while remaining awake and responsive
  • Works quickly – achieves desired effect within minutes
  • Wears off quickly for minimal lingering effects
  • Most patients can drive home afterwards
  • Helps reduce gag reflex

IV Sedation in Webster, NY

IV Sedation provides a deeper level of sedation than nitrous. Sedation is achieved by administering sedative medications intravenously. Dr. Dogmanits completed extensive and thorough training to be able to offer sedation. During the procedure, patients are monitored closely and continuously to maintain safety. 

This choice is best for patients with moderate to severe anxiety, longer appointments, or those with traumatic past dental experiences. 

Benefits include:

  • Remain conscious but very relaxed, and may be sleepy
  • Many patients remember little or none of the appointment
  • Helps reduce gag reflex and movement
  • Allows multiple procedures to be completed in one visit
  • Continuous monitoring of vital signs throughout the procedure
  • Patients need an escort to drive them home afterwards
  • Often results in calmer, more positive dental experiences
  • Medical history and physical examination during consultation with Dr. Dogmanits will determine if this choice is right for you
