Sedation Dentistry
in Channahon

If you've been putting off a trip to the dentist because of anxiety or fear, sedation dentistry at Complete Comfort Dental can help you feel calm and confident in the dental chair.

Put dental anxiety behind you

Sedation dentistry uses safe, mild sedatives to help patients feel at ease during their dental treatment. At our Channahon office, we use nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, to provide light sedation that takes effect quickly and wears off just as fast. This makes it a great option for adults, teens, and even kids who could use a little extra help staying calm during their appointment.

Nitroux Oxide

Also known as "laughing gas" nitrous oxide allows you to relax and feel completely at ease during your treatment. You'll even be able to drive yourself home after!

Oral Concscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation offers a deeper, longer-lasting sense of calm than nitrous oxide, making it a great choice for patients with dental anxiety or for longer treatments where extra comfort is needed.

The benefits of sedation

Relaxed appointments

Sedation can ease nerves and create a calm, even pleasant experience during treatment.

Better oral health

If you skip dental visits because of anxiety, nitrous can help. Then we can ensure your oral health is in great shape while you stay comfortable.

Quick recovery time

Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes after the procedure, so you can drive yourself home and return to your day without downtime.

What you can expect

Getting sedation with laughing gas is simple, safe, and seamlessly built into your visit. From the moment you arrive, we’re focused on helping you feel comfortable and at ease.

We’ll begin by discussing your health history and past dental experiences to ensure sedation is right for you.

During your appointment, we place a small mask over your nose so you can breathe in the laughing gas—no needles required.

You’ll quickly begin to feel calm and relaxed while staying fully awake and able to communicate.

Once your treatment is complete, the gas is turned off and the effects wear off within minutes, so you can resume normal activity right away.
