Give your mind a mini-vacation while we work on your teeth. With sedation dentistry at Marshlands Family Dentistry, your dental appointments are filled with dreams instead of dread. You can relax through complex treatments like tooth extractions or routine cleanings and check-ups. You may have little to no memory, making sedation dentistry akin to pain-free dentistry. If fears of the dentist, needles, or pain are holding you back from vital care, sedation is your solution.
Sleep dentistry offers a way for patients with anxiety or special requirements to feel at ease during dental procedures. Through the use of medications, you can receive necessary treatments that you might otherwise avoid. You can even undergo multiple procedures in a single visit, saving you time and money.
At Marshlands Family Dentistry, we offer two kinds of sedation: nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. Dr. John Wise and Dr. Edward Wise tailor your treatment by helping you pick which is best for you and controlling the level or dosage. We make sure that the sedation you receive matches your specific level of anxiety or discomfort, ensuring the best possible experience.
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is a mild sedative administered through a mask placed over your nose. It takes effect quickly, helping you feel calm and relaxed during your treatment. Our nitrous oxide dentists love this option because the gas wears off almost immediately after removing the mask. You can even drive yourself home after the appointment.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide:
Oral conscious sedation involves taking a sedative pill before your appointment. This option helps you remain awake but deeply relaxed throughout the procedure. You might feel drowsy and may not remember much of the appointment afterward. Because the effects take longer to wear off, you will need someone to drive you home.
Benefits of Oral Conscious Sedation:
At Marshlands Family Dentistry, we take the time to understand your specific fears and concerns. From there, we create personalized care plans with your sedation preferences tailored to your situation. Our compassionate team dedicates themselves to creating a welcoming environment where you feel safe and heard.
We’ll also guide you through each step of your treatment, explaining what to expect and answering any questions you may have. We know that if you’re anxious, you might also be worried about undergoing sedation. By providing transparency, we aim to ease your fears, build your confidence, and let you relax during your treatment.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a dentist that was an enjoyable experience, but this one was. I was so anxious leading up to the appointment, and hadn’t been feeling great (mentally and physically) the morning of, but the friendliness of the staff and kindness of everyone made me happier overall. When we were finished up, I left there more joyful than I had walked in. Of course my teeth feel awesome and look great..”

“Savannah H. cleaned my teeth and she was outstanding! I am a dental hygienist as well and her training (she went to the same college I did) patient interaction, and communication were above and beyond my expectations, which tend to be pretty high! Believe it or not, very much like the shoemakers son, I was overdue for my cleaning. Savannah H. made sure to update my x-rays including taking the very important pictures.”
