Best Candidates

Nitrous oxide sedation is an excellent option for any child or adult who has a difficult time at the dentist. Before use, we’ll go through your medical history and any current medications to make sure N2O is right for you. If you struggle to breathe through your nose or you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, N2O may not be a good fit for you.

At Dental Express, we use nitrous oxide sedation to ease any fears you may have about visiting the dentist. We also pair it with local anesthesia to make treatments more comfortable and pain-free.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Whether you’re here for a more in-depth treatment or a routine checkup, we can provide nitrous oxide to make your visit more comfortable. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a safe, non-invasive way to help you relax during your treatment without putting you to sleep.

If you have a hard time making your regular appointments due to anxiety or fear of the dentist, please don’t hesitate to give us a call and ask how nitrous oxide sedation can help. If you’re comfortable with an in-person consultation, we’d be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have and put your mind at ease. At Dental Express, we meet you where you are and work as a team to give you quality, affordable, and comfortable dental care.

I would truly give this place 10 stars if I could. Called in for an emergency extraction with a tooth that I have been having severe pain with for the past 2 months and the team who helped me, I can't thank them enough. I was told by a different Dentist at a different Dental Office that I would need my tooth to be extracted, but Dental Express said they could save it by doing a root canal and placing a crown on it, and even though I'm still in pain from the injections, I couldn't be happier with the help I received. Thank you!

I started going to Dental Express earlier this year and am so happy that I did. I see Dr. Martin Feinstein and he's done quite a bit of procedures on me, and they've all gone very well. I highly recommend this dental group!

Very Nice People. They do get Busy in the afternoon. I'm one of those People Who Nod to indicate I Understand. And My Mind could be in Ireland. Some Procedures take time and Multiple Visits. Thank You Dr. Nasafi for Your Patience with this Patient!
