I offer three types of sedation, and I’ll help you determine the best option for your situation:

1. Nitrous Oxide
Also commonly referred to as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a popular form of sedation. The calming effect occurs swiftly after breathing in anesthesia through a mask – and subsides quickly once the mask is removed. Patients are able to drive home after the appointment and go about their normal routines without impairment.

2. Oral Sedation
In this case, I’ll prescribe a sedative for you to take before a procedure. Patients will need a friend to drive them to and from their appointment. I may use oral sedation in combination with nitrous oxide, which deepens the sedative effects. This type of sedation wears off gradually and leaves patients with little or no memory of their appointment.

3. IV Sedation
Intravenous sedation is administered through an IV directly into the bloodstream. This form of sedation is usually appropriate for lengthy or complex procedures. The effects subside gradually after IV removal.

Whether you’re interested in sedation dentistry for anxiety alleviation or to simply stay relaxed for a long procedure, I’ll choose the most appropriate sedation method after a meeting with you.  I look forward to achieving your dental implant goals through sedation dentistry.

As my patient, expect customized care, exemplary service, and optimal comfort and safety. Whether you want to alleviate dental anxiety or experience total relaxation during your dental implant procedure, I’ll help you choose the appropriate sedation for your unique situation.

I offer the following types of sedation at my premier North Dallas implant center:

• Nitrous Oxide – Often referred to as laughing gas, this widely used anesthesia is inhaled through a comfortable mask. Nitrous oxide creates a sense of calm and alleviates discomfort. It’s fast-acting, and the effects subside almost immediately following removal of the mask.
• Oral Sedation – You’ll take a commonly prescribed sedative to enter into a near-sleep state of calm and relaxation. Nitrous oxide may be administered to deepen the effects of the sedative. Oral sedation diminishes gradually and often leaves patients with little or memory of treatment details.
• IV Sedation –Intravenous (IV) sedation is the deepest form of sedation I offer. It is administered directly into the bloodstream. I may recommend IV sedation for lengthy and/or complex procedures. The effects of IV sedation subside gently following IV removal.

I’ll help you prepare for your implant procedures by fully explaining treatment details and working with you to determine the sedation method that meets your unique needs. Patients from Dallas and surrounding suburbs rely on my skill and training as a leading implant dentist to deliver conservative treatment that’s in their best interests. You can, too.
