Simple, Stress-Free Care

Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a trusted and effective way to help patients feel calm during dental procedures. Our dentists and team offer nitrous oxide in Safford, AZ, to support a more comfortable and stress-free experience for patients. This safe sedation method helps both children and adults feel more at ease while receiving the care they need.

Calm and Alert with Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless gas administered through a small mask placed over the nose. Within minutes of breathing it in, patients typically feel relaxed, light and less anxious. One of the key benefits of nitrous oxide is that it allows patients to remain awake and responsive during treatment while easing feelings of fear or discomfort.

Our dentists may recommend nitrous oxide for patients who:

  • Experience mild to moderate dental anxiety
  • Have difficulty sitting still during treatment
  • Are undergoing longer procedures
  • Are sensitive to sights, sounds or smells in the dental setting
  • Prefer a mild sedation option with quick recovery

Nitrous oxide begins working quickly and wears off just as fast once the mask is removed. This means most patients can drive themselves home after their appointment and resume normal activities the same day.

Safe, Gentle and Effective Sedation

At Copper Hills Dental, patient comfort and safety are our top priorities. Nitrous oxide is one of the most widely used and well-studied sedation options in dentistry. Our team monitors patients closely throughout the procedure to ensure proper dosage and a calm experience.

Benefits of nitrous oxide include:

  • Immediate relaxation during treatment
  • No lasting grogginess or side effects
  • Non-invasive and easy to administer
  • Adjustable levels for individualized comfort
  • Ideal for children and adults alike

This gentle sedation option allows us to perform necessary treatments efficiently while helping patients feel more at ease. It can make a significant difference for those who might otherwise avoid dental visits due to fear or discomfort.

This was my first visit and my experience was by far the most friendly and best dental office I have experienced They are attentive to every issue and understanding when work is needed and every issue is explained. Very professional staff and dentist. Anxiety level was 8 during visit anxiety level dropped to about a 2. I love this dental office.

Mary L.

Recently had 3 crowns and that is a lengthy process but the staff made me feel as though I was the only patient in the office. Every few minutes they asked if I was ok and did I need a break. My comfort and peace of mind was the most important thing to Dr. Skinner and assistant. I had to call with a little discomfort and Dr. Skinner called back and got me to come right in and took care of me even though they were booked solid. I definitely recommend Copper Hills Dental.
