Dr. Nathan Eck and our certified team provide expert, judgment-free care with multiple sedation options. We’ll match nitrous, oral conscious, or IV sedation to your procedure, health history, and schedule--so you’re comfortable from start to finish.
Delivered through a small nose mask, nitrous creates a relaxed, “light” feeling within minutes. You remain awake and responsive, and it wears off quickly--ideal for shorter or simpler appointments.
A prescribed pill taken before treatment provides deeper relaxation. Many patients feel drowsy and remember little of the visit, while still able to respond. A driver is required.
Medication is administered through a small IV for the deepest, most adjustable sedation we offer--well-suited to surgical or longer procedures. Recovery takes several hours and you’ll need an escort.
Nitrous oxide typically clears within 5–10 minutes. Oral and IV sedation can take 4–6 hours or longer, and you may feel groggy afterward.
Yes--only with nitrous oxide. With oral or IV sedation, you’ll need a responsible adult to bring you to and from the office.
Sedation eases anxiety and helps you relax. Combined with local anesthetic to numb the area, your procedure with Dr. Eck is designed to be completely comfortable.
