— THE PROCEDURE

Breathe in, feel the worry float.

You wear a soft mask over your nose. We mix nitrous oxide with oxygen at carefully calibrated levels. Within five minutes, the anxious edge softens. You’re fully awake, you can talk, and you’ll remember the visit — but the dread is gone.

When the procedure ends, we switch you to pure oxygen for a few minutes. The nitrous clears completely. Most patients drive themselves home and return to their day as normal.

  • Effect kicks in within 5 minutes
  • Wears off in 10 minutes — drive yourself home
  • Safe for kids age 5+ and most adults
  • Used alongside local anesthesia for full comfort

— GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

No. Nitrous keeps you fully awake and able to respond. You'll feel relaxed, possibly mildly euphoric, but in control of your body and conversation throughout.
