A Smile Without Anxiety

Feeling nervous about visiting the dentist is very common. At Ziese Family Dentistry, we are committed to creating a calm, supportive environment and offer a variety of comfort amenities to help you feel relaxed throughout your visit.

To enhance your comfort, we provide mounted televisions above each dental chair with Bluetooth headphones, stress balls in fun shapes, warm towels infused with lavender or eucalyptus, and both warm and weighted blankets for added relaxation.

For patients who would benefit from additional support, we offer conscious sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Nitrous oxide may also be used in combination with oral medication such as Valium to help create a more comfortable and stress-free experience.

Ask us about sedation if:

• You experience dental anxiety
• You have had a past traumatic dental experience
• You have difficulty becoming numb with local anesthesia

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective form of conscious sedation offered at Ziese Family Dentistry. It is administered through a small nasal mask and helps promote a calming, relaxed feeling while reducing anxiety during your procedure.

Oxygen is provided along with the nitrous oxide throughout your visit and is administered alone at the end of your appointment to ensure a smooth and complete recovery before you leave the office. This allows most patients to feel comfortable and alert shortly after treatment.
