Sedation Dentistry in Frisco, TX

You might be a candidate for oral conscious sedation if you suffer from mild to moderate dentophobia. One of our dentists will prescribe an extremely potent anti-anxiety pill for you to take about an hour before your appointment begins. Its relaxing effects will wash over you quickly, so you’ll need someone to drive you to and from our dental office. You won’t exactly be “put to sleep” with oral conscious sedation. You’ll be awake enough to respond to our requests, but chances are you won’t remember much of your procedure.

If you have severe dental anxiety, IV sedation allows you to get dental work done with as little anxiety as possible. Once you arrive at our dental office, a powerful sedative will be administered through a small, painless injection in the arm. You’ll become deeply relaxed almost instantly. We can even adjust the amount of sedative you receive in real-time to maximize your comfort throughout your procedure. The effects may last for hours, so you’ll need a ride to and from your appointment.

Those with mild dentophobia will find nitrous oxide a beneficial supplement to their routine dental appointments. Whether you need to complete a routine exam and cleaning, restorative treatment, or cosmetic enhancement, nitrous oxide keeps you calm and relaxed during your visit. To receive the sedative, we ask you to wear a non-invasive nasal mask and gently breath normally. As you inhale the sedative, you’ll feel a warm sensation throughout your body. Once the mask comes off, you should be able to resume your regular activities.
