Your Sedation Dentistry Options

Making your dental appointment painless and comfortable.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is provided through a nose hood and is administered throughout the entire procedure. Nitrous oxide elevates the general mood and can evoke an overall sense of well-being. Most importantly, it relieves anxiety and reduces pain during the procedure. You are able to drive yourself to and from each appointment when nitrous oxide is used.

 

Oral Conscious Sedation Dentistry

Oral medication is provided prior to treatment, and then nitrous oxide is added to induce a more profound state of sedation. You are still “awake,” but your senses are dulled. This means that most patients cannot remember the pain, smells, or noises associated with the dental procedure. You will need a driver to and from the appointment when oral medication is used.

IV Sedation Dentsitry

Patients who have previously experienced IV sedation report feeling like they slept through the entire procedure. A treatment taking several hours will feel like minutes when you are sedated. This type of sedation is typically used for longer procedures or more complicated oral surgeries, but can also be used for simple fillings or even cleanings. You will need a driver to and from the appointment with IV sedation.

 
Wonderful experience- Staff and Doctor were amazing.

I'll be the first to admit.... I hate going to the dentist. But Dr. Crane and his staff are phenomenal!!!!! Melissa was the best dental assistant, she made sure I felt comfortable and at ease. My teeth are in horrible condition and they gave me hope and did not make me feel judged like other places have in the past.

I am fearful about going to the dentist. I put off the visit as long as I could, then Dr. Crane and Dental Care of Sumner were recommended to me. The first visit I was extremely nervous, however, the office staff, Hygienists and Dr. Crane, are all kind, professional and friendly. Everyone in the practice does what they can do to make the patient comfortable, informed and at ease. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Crane to anyone fearful of going to a dentist. Clean, friendly, kind and on time for appointments.

Absolutely the best dentist and staff!! They make you feel very comfortable, do an excellent job, and are great at scheduling same-day/time appointments for multiple family members. The office is clean. They have a couple of dental chairs that look out onto the Puyallup River, which helps put your nerves at ease looking at the beautiful scenery.

I was looking for a new dentist a few years ago when I found Dr. Crane's team. My old dentist was kind of a stereotype, wait in a big room with a fish tank, do the initial floss and pick in silence, then so the little dance where they know you aren't flossing well but they ask you about your flossing so you can tell them rather than them talking about what you're missing. It drove me insane. I don't have that problem here.The office is warm and comfortable (smells nice too!) And everyone there is incredibly nice. Scheduling is a breeze, and they work hard to give mmultiple options. They are great with your dental plans helping you check on different prices and seeing how that sta as against your insurance. They do all that as they chat and joke with you. It's a beer personal experience.As for the dental work itself, i couldn't be happier. They talk with you as they go through the or cleaning, talking to you about missed spots and potential improvements. When they talk about brushing and flossing it's not one of those passive attempts to see of you lie instead it's an honest talk about what they are seeing and what you might have missed, and then it's done. I find that refreshing. Straight to the point, honest, and no pulled punches. In regards to the work they are gentle but still quick. They check in to make sure you are comfortable, they let you know what they are doing, and have no problem pausing to answer questions. A really great experience.If you are looking for a dentist this is the place to be.

Dr. Crane is the best dentist I've ever been to! I've moved all over the U.S. so I've seen many.I have been suffering almost a year with a dying nerve, because I get extremely anxious about the dentist. Today the pain got the better of me, and I started calling dentists in the area. I called several other dentists first, but these guys fit me in immediately! I was so nervous in the chair, but Dr. Crane made sure to give me enough local anesthesia to actually numb out ALL the pain! And he was super slow and careful, so I felt very little pressure. I rarely write reviews, but I have to say that I'm super impressed with this office, Dental Care of Sumner. The lady's were all joking and laughing with each other, creating a relaxed happy atmosphere, which truly helped my anxiety! Thank you Dental Care of Sumner!

If I could give 10 stars I would. This is such a great place. Dr. Crane is very caring and takes the time to explain the treatment I need. When I have my teeth cleaned the Hygienist does a great job and my teeth always feel so clean. The front office is very accommodating and always works with my schedule. The assistants are great at making me feel at ease during my appointment. I have neck issues and they always have my pillow waiting without me having to ask for it. Everyone is very professional but fun. I would recommend going to Dr. Crane. It's a great place.
