Get the Care You Need Without Fear
For some people, sitting in a dental chair can feel overwhelming. The racing thoughts, the sense of being out of control, the worry about pain… it’s a very real barrier to getting the care you need. At Poulos, Somers & Marshall, we meet you with calm reassurance, clear communication, and sedation options designed to make each step feel manageable and safe.

Gentle but effective, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) helps you relax without putting you fully to sleep. You’ll feel lighter, calmer, and more at ease while we work — yet you’ll remain aware and able to respond if needed. Best of all, the effects fade quickly, so you can safely drive yourself home and get back to your day right after treatment.
If your anxiety runs deeper, oral sedation may be the right fit. Taken as a small pill before your appointment, it helps quiet your nerves and ease tension so you can sit through treatment without fear. Many patients describe it as a dreamlike calm: you’re awake, but the worry and discomfort fade into the background, allowing us to complete your care smoothly.

For patients facing extensive procedures or high levels of anxiety, IV sedation provides the deepest level of relaxation we offer. Delivered and carefully monitored throughout your visit, IV sedation places you in a state of profound calm. Time often passes without notice, and most patients remember little to nothing of their appointment; only that they felt safe, cared for, and comfortable.
Dentistry should never feel like an ordeal. Every patient deserves a care plan that honors not only their oral health but also their peace of mind. By listening closely to your needs and tailoring sedation to your comfort level, we help you take care of your smile without fear getting in the way.
