Your Comfort is Important

Creating a Soothing Environment for Every Patient Every Time

Your comfort is our priority during every procedure. After taking an oral sedative, you’ll feel relaxed and calm while a dental assistant stays with you to provide blankets, answer questions, and ensure you remain comfortable. You’ll stay awake and able to respond to Dr. Flack or Dr. Schuck, and if anxiety arises, we can add nitrous oxide to keep you at ease, even during longer treatments. Many patients are amazed at how well sedation works and how quickly time passes. We offer multiple sedation options, including inhaled, oral, or IV, and can even provide medication to take before your visit. Please arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home, and plan to rest for the remainder of the day.
