We Soothe Your Nerves With Personalized Visits & Laughing Gas

Some patients feel anxious because they’ve received dental treatment in the past without understanding all their options or even why treatment was needed. You’ll never feel rushed or confused at our office. Dr. Craig Sommer works closely with you to create a customized plan to address your dental issues. With our intraoral camera, he can show you exactly what is going on in your mouth. The camera also helps him examine you with less poking and prodding.

If you’re nervous or worried about discomfort, we can administer laughing gas. When breathed in through a small mask worn over your nose, it quickly helps you feel calm and comfortable. No injections are needed! It’s our preferred method of relaxing you because:

• You Remain Relaxed but Alert – Unlike some other methods of relaxation, you’ll remain aware of what is going on and will be easily able to communicate with us.
• Its Effects Don’t Linger – Once you stop breathing it, you’ll feel like yourself within minutes. You’ll be able to drive yourself home.
• We Can Adjust the Amount You Receive – We can easily increase or reduce the amount you’re ingesting during treatment to maintain the appropriate level of relaxation.
• It Has a Long Safety Record – Laughing gas has been used by dentists for more than 150 years. It has virtually no side effects.
