Experience Complete Comfort During Your Dental Visit

You can receive gentle laughing gas to help you relax. This safe, effective sedation works quickly to create a sense of calm while keeping you fully conscious. The effects wear off within minutes after treatment. You can drive yourself home and resume normal activities right away.

Unlike other types of sedation, laughing gas is even safe for use with children.

Your comfort extends to every aspect of your visit. Our treatment rooms have soothing amenities like headphones for calming music, glasses to protect your eyes from bright light, soft pillows for neck support, and blankets to keep you warm.

Our team explains each step of your treatment in simple terms and welcomes all questions, so you feel informed and in control throughout your appointment.

Serenity Dental! I cannot tell the interwebs how blessed I am to have found this practice. Everyone on staff is professional, knowledgeable, and so very nice to work with at visits. They make you feel safe and you are well looked after during your visit. I would recommend them to everyone. Just through with my deep cleaning and going back for a filling and crown. Dr. Nair made a plan for me because I need a lot more additional work. Thanks to the plan and the fact that they will work with you and your insurance on payments I will be getting my work completed within the next 2 years. Yes, I need that much work! lol

Frequently Asked Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

What is laughing gas and how does it work?
Laughing gas is a mild sedative inhaled through a small mask over your nose. It creates feelings of relaxation and well-being within minutes. You remain conscious and can respond to questions, but feel less anxious. The effects disappear quickly after treatment, allowing you to drive yourself home.
What if I haven't been to the dentist in years due to anxiety?
We welcome patients regardless of how long it's been since their last visit. We'll start with a gentle, no-pressure consultation to understand your concerns. Many anxious patients begin with simple cleanings to build confidence before addressing more extensive needs. We move at your comfort level without judgment.
How can I prepare for my appointment to minimize anxiety?
Schedule your appointment during a low-stress time of day. Avoid caffeine before your visit and practice deep breathing exercises to use during treatment. Be honest about your fears when speaking with our team and consider a brief pre-appointment visit just to meet the staff and see the office environment.
