    Types of Dental Sedation In Hockley, TX

    At our practice, we offer different types of dental sedation for mild to moderate dental anxiety. Our dentist will discuss your concerns during your initial visit to determine the best option.

    • Nitrous Oxide Sedation
      It is a type of inhalation sedation that involves the use of nitrous oxide or laughing gas. When you inhale a safe dosage of the gas, it immediately takes effect and helps you relax within a few minutes. You will remain conscious but not feel pain or discomfort during treatment. It takes a short time to recover after nitrous oxide sedation, and you can go back home safely.
    • Oral Sedation
      It is effective for people with mild to moderate dental anxiety. Our dentist prescribes an oral sedative that you will have to take an hour before your appointment. It calms your nerves and also reduces discomfort during the procedure. The effect of oral sedation may take a few hours to dissipate, so it is better to have someone along to drive you back home.
    • IV Sedation
      Intravenous (IV) sedation is only used for those patients who have severe anxiety or have to undergo a complicated procedure. The sedative drug is delivered directly into your bloodstream, which takes immediate effect. After the procedure, it can take several hours to recover. So, we suggest bringing a friend or family member along to drive you back safely.
