Dental Sedation in Norman, OK
Dental visits can be stressful, but sedation dentistry helps patients feel calm and at ease. Whether you experience mild nervousness or severe dental anxiety, sedation provides a safe and effective way to relax during treatment. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, allows you to stay comfortable without lingering drowsiness. Our team administers sedation for procedures like wisdom teeth removal, deep cleanings, and other treatments upon request. No matter what the procedure, we focus on providing you with a relaxed and positive dental visit.
