At Oak Tree Dentistry, your smile is our passion, and so is your comfort!
We’re pleased to offer three levels of dental sedation in Lodi and Elk Grove to meet your needs.
Types of Sedation Dentistry We Offer
Our team monitors you closely during dental sedation, and we take a health history to ensure your candidacy.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is a safe gas administered through a nasal cannula during your procedure. You feel detached and melancholy with nitrous, but you’re still aware. This sedation method means you’ll feel less anxious during your procedure, but there are no lingering effects. You can drive yourself home or back to work.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a pill given before treatment. With this sedation method, you’ll feel completely relaxed and may not recall the finer details of your treatment. You’ll need a friend or loved one to drive you. We also recommend resting for the day and not making any life-altering decisions.
IV Sedation
As with oral sedation, you should have transportation and rest for the remainder of the day following your procedure. IV sedation is delivered directly into the bloodstream. You’ll be minimally conscious but mostly unaware of what’s happening. It’s doubtful you’ll remember your procedure.
