Take the Fear Out of Having Dental Work with Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry is a wonderful option used in modern dentistry, practiced by highly trained doctors who can help a patient virtually sleep through their procedures. This treatment option can help those with dental fears, turn multiple appointments into a single visit, and even help patients who have difficulty with conventional local anesthesia. It’s a wonderful option for so many patients – ask us about incorporating this into your next appointment.

We also understand that going to the dentist is about more than just their techniques. If you’re nervous about a visit, it helps to have a specialist you can trust. We have extensive experience in the local Houston market. Our roots run deep in Magnolia City and we have gained an outstanding reputation for safe & effective sedation dentistry techniques. You can read a sampling of our reviews here.

We utilize both oral and intravenous sedation in our practice. For intravenous sedation, a board-certified anesthesiologist comes into our office with all his anesthesia equipment to perform outpatient IV sedation.

All sorts of patients can benefit! Do you…

How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?

For oral sedation, patients take prescribed oral medication prior to treatment, leaving them relaxed and extremely comfortable. Our team monitors your vital signs constantly and you are never left alone. You will still be awake enough to respond to the doctor but will be much more comfortable for treatment. You should have someone drive you to and from the appointment.

For intravenous (IV) sedation, a board-certified anesthesiologist will review patient medical history, consult with their physician if necessary, and completely manage the anesthesia care. IV sedation gives the ultimate in safety and control when needed for dental care. You should have someone drive you to and from the appointment.

Will I Feel Anything?

Sedation dramatically reduces the body’s natural tendency to tense muscles while stressed, helping you to feel relaxed and at ease. Dental anesthetics are more effective while the body is relaxed, eliminating most of your concerns about discomfort during treatment. We will prescribe medicines appropriate to your situation for postoperative discomfort.
