Nitrous Oxide
Mild laughing gas through a small nasal mask. Safe for children and wears off quickly.
Sedation Dentistry
Relaxed, Anxiety-Free Dental Visits
We take dental anxiety seriously. Gentle sedation options help you feel calm and comfortable, from cleanings to oral surgery.
Is Sedation Right for You?
Never avoid the dentist again
Dr. Advani has advanced training and provides Illinois state-approved oral conscious sedation and IV sedation. Sedation can help if you have:
- Dental anxiety or fear
- A long or complex procedure
- Several treatments in one visit
- A strong gag reflex or sensitive teeth
- Medical conditions such as tremors
Your Options
Choose the level of relaxation
Oral Conscious Sedation
A prescription tablet taken before your visit. You stay awake and responsive, but relaxed.
IV Sedation
Precisely controlled deep relaxation for oral surgery and implants, often with no memory of the procedure.
IV Sedation
Preparing for IV sedation
STEP 01
Consultation
We review your medical history, medications, and any concerns.
STEP 02
Fasting
No food or drinks, including gum, candy, and tobacco, for 8 hours before.
STEP 03
Monitoring
Our team monitors you closely throughout your procedure.
STEP 04
Ride home
Bring someone to drive you home and rest for the day.
Will I be asleep?
With oral and IV sedation you are deeply relaxed but not unconscious, and you can still respond to our team. Many IV sedation patients remember little or nothing afterward.
Is sedation safe?
Yes. IV sedation allows precise control over the dose, tailored to each patient, and we monitor you throughout. We review your health history before any sedation.
Can children have nitrous oxide?
Yes. Nitrous oxide is a safe, mild option that helps nervous children relax during treatment.
Can sedation help even if I’m not anxious?
Yes. Sedation makes long appointments, multiple treatments, and oral surgery more comfortable for everyone.
