Relax With Our Dental Sedation

We offer a range of sedation choices to suit different comfort levels and needs.

One of the most common methods is inhaled sedation, also known as laughing gas, which provides mild relaxation while keeping you fully awake. Its effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your daily routine shortly after your appointment.

For those who need deeper relaxation, we provide two additional options. Oral sedation, taken as a pill, creates a greater sense of calm while still allowing you to remain aware. For more complex procedures or heightened anxiety, we work with a skilled anesthesiologist to administer IV sedation.

These options help ensure a more comfortable experience, making dental treatment easier and less stressful.

Rare experience these days to have a clinician take time listening to and communicating with their patients! I can honestly say that I am looking forward to becoming a patient of theirs!

They have always treated me well here. Dr. Leatherwood has been my dentist for several years and I have appreciated her professionalism as well as providing comfort like a blanket when I am cold. ( almost all the time.)

Leatherwood Dentistry truly can remove all of the anxiety associated with dentist visits. Her staff is always friendly and Dr. Leatherwood has a way about her that eases those of us that would rather do anything than sit in a dentist chair! Highly recommend.
