Sedation Dentistry in Grosse Pointe Woods

Anxiety-Free Care

At Dentistry and Implants, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent many patients from seeking necessary care. Our sedation dentistry options help create a relaxed, comfortable experience for nervous patients. Dr. DiRezze offers nitrous oxide sedation to help you remain calm during your treatment while still being conscious and able to communicate throughout your visit.

Sedation Options

Nitrous Oxide

Also known as "laughing gas," this mild sedative is administered through a comfortable nose mask and helps induce a state of relaxation while allowing you to remain fully conscious. The effects wear off quickly after treatment, allowing you to drive yourself home.

Benefits of Dental Sedation

Sedation dentistry at Dentistry and Implants helps anxious patients receive the dental care they need without stress or fear. It can make long or complex procedures feel shorter, reduce gag reflexes, and minimize discomfort. For many patients, sedation transforms dental visits from a dreaded experience to a manageable one.

  • Reduces Dental Anxiety
  • Makes Long Procedures Comfortable
  • Minimizes Gag Reflex
  • Quick Recovery Time

"I used to avoid dental appointments due to anxiety, but nitrous oxide sedation has made it possible for me to get the care I need. Dr. DiRezze and his team are so understanding of dental fears!"

Before recommending sedation, Dr. DiRezze will review your medical history to ensure nitrous oxide is a safe option for you. When you arrive for your appointment, our team will explain the process and help you feel comfortable. A small mask is placed over your nose, and you'll breathe normally, inhaling the nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen. Within minutes, you'll begin to feel relaxed and at ease.


Throughout your procedure, the sedation level can be adjusted for your comfort. You'll remain conscious and able to communicate with Dr. DiRezze, but you'll feel detached from the sounds and sensations of treatment. Once your procedure is complete, the nitrous oxide is stopped, and you'll breathe pure oxygen for a few minutes. The sedative effects wear off quickly, allowing you to drive yourself home and resume normal activities immediately.
