Calm, comfortable care.
Sedation dentistry helps you stay calm and comfortable during any procedure — from a routine cleaning to more involved treatment. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation, matched to what you need, so every visit feels relaxed and positive. It also lets us complete more in a single visit, and our team monitors you closely the whole time so you can sit back and let us take care of everything.
What sedation does for you.
Anxiety-free visits
Feel completely relaxed and at ease from the moment treatment begins.
Fewer appointments
Complete more than one procedure in a single, stress-free visit.
A comfortable experience
Sedation eases discomfort, even for a strong gag reflex or trouble sitting still.
When sedation makes sense.
Dental anxiety
You feel moderate to severe nervousness or fear about dental visits.
Multiple treatments
You need several procedures done in one efficient, stress-free visit.
A strong gag reflex
A sensitive gag reflex makes traditional dental work difficult.

Staying comfortably seated for a longer appointment is hard for you.

“Dr. Bradley really cares for your teeth — his philosophy is to keep as much of the natural tooth as possible. He explained everything clearly, calmed my nerves, and did the procedure perfectly.”
“The best dentist in town. They really helped me with my fillings — completely pain-free — and made me feel at home through the whole process. Highly recommend.”
“My oral health has improved a lot with Dr. Bradley. He listens to my concerns and explains exactly what he’s doing and why — he even shows me the X-rays. He handles my cleanings and put on my adult braces himself, and the whole team is stellar.”
Sedation questions, answered.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes. Sedation is very safe when it’s given and monitored by a trained dentist. Dr. Bradley reviews your health history first and keeps a close eye on you throughout the visit so you stay comfortable from start to finish.
What does sedation feel like?
With nitrous oxide (laughing gas) you breathe in a calming mix through a small mask and feel light and relaxed while staying awake and able to respond. With oral sedation you take a prescription pill beforehand and feel calm and at ease through a longer appointment. We help you pick the right option at your visit.
Will I be able to drive myself home?
After nitrous oxide (laughing gas), the effects wear off within minutes and you can usually drive yourself home. With oral sedation you’ll feel drowsy for a few hours, so you’ll need someone to drive you. We give you clear aftercare instructions either way.
Is sedation covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan, and some plans help when sedation is medically necessary. Most major insurance is accepted and monthly payment plans are available — we review your options at your appointment, with no surprises.
Is sedation safe for children?
When it’s given and monitored by a trained dentist, sedation can be a gentle way to help an anxious child stay calm and comfortable. Dr. Bradley reviews your child’s health history and helps you decide whether it’s the right choice.
