Sedation
Conscious Sedation: Conscious sedation creates a state of deep relaxation. All body functions remain normal and the person is able to breathe on their own.
IV Sedation:also known as Deep Conscious Sedation is usually used by Oral Surgeons and 
dentists with specialized training and special certification. With this type of sedation, medications are administered directly into the blood stream. The greatest advantage of IV Sedation is that if someone is not sedated enough, the doctor can administer more medication and the effects are instantaneous.
Oral Conscious Sedation: Medication is given to create a state of deep relaxation amnesia. The patient is free of anxiety, loses sense of time, and has little memory of the procedure. This is an excellent modality for an apprehensive patient for any dental procedure or a patient undergoing a surgical procedure, such as implant surgery. During the procedure the patient’s electrical activity of the heart, oxygenation of the blood and blood pressure are continually monitored.
Nitrous oxide Anesthesia (laughing gas):This anesthesia is a combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen that is breathed through a nasal mask and creates a sensation of relaxation. The patient is totally aware during this procedure.
