Safe, Comfortable Oral Surgery Care
Feeling nervous before oral surgery is completely normal. At Arrow Oral Surgery, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our experienced oral surgeons provide a full range of anesthesia and sedation options to ensure every patient feels relaxed and cared for from start to finish.
Whether you need a simple tooth extraction or a more complex procedure, we’ll discuss your anesthesia options and help you choose the level of comfort that’s right for you. Our goal is to make your experience as smooth, calm, and pain-free as possible.
Types of Anesthesia
At Arrow Oral Surgery, we offer several anesthesia options to match the complexity of your procedure and your personal comfort level:
Local Anesthesia: A numbing medication is applied directly to the surgical site so you remain awake but feel no pain. This option is ideal for minor procedures such as single-tooth extractions or small soft tissue surgeries.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Nitrous oxide provides a light level of relaxation and helps ease anxiety during treatment. You breathe it through a small mask, wears off quickly, and allows you to resume normal activities shortly after your appointment.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation: IV sedation, also called “twilight sedation,” provides a deeper level of relaxation. Medication is administered through a vein, allowing you to remain in a semi-conscious state. You’ll be comfortable and unlikely to remember the procedure once it’s over.
About Sedation Dentistry
If dental visits make you anxious, sedation dentistry can help you feel calm and confident. Sedation dentistry uses carefully controlled medications to help patients relax during dental or surgical treatment. It is safe, effective, and available for both children and adults.
Sedation may be helpful if you:
- Feel anxious or fearful about dental visits
- Have a strong gag reflex or dental sensitivity
- Struggle to sit still for longer procedures
- Have had difficult or traumatic dental experiences in the past
Your oral surgeon will evaluate your medical history, level of anxiety, and the type of procedure being performed to determine which form of sedation is best suited for you.
