Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety should never prevent you from getting the care you need. Dr. Davey studied Dental Anesthesiology at Duquesne University and holds a Fellowship with the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS). This specialized training means you are in the safest possible hands when it comes to sedation dentistry.
Our Sedation Options
- Oral Conscious Sedation — A prescribed medication taken before your appointment helps you relax deeply. You remain conscious but in a calm, dream-like state. Most patients have little memory of the procedure afterward.
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) — A mild sedative inhaled through a comfortable mask. Effects wear off quickly after your appointment, so you can drive yourself home.
Who Benefits from Sedation Dentistry?
- Patients with dental anxiety or phobia
- Those undergoing lengthy or complex procedures
- Patients with a strong gag reflex
- Anyone who wants a more relaxed dental experience
- Patients who need multiple treatments completed in fewer visits
