Sedation Dentistry In
Cypress, Texas
Sedation
Sedation Dentistry refers to the use of sedative drugs that safely calm and relax a patient prior to and during a dental procedure. We provide sedation dentistry to our patients through the use of safe sedative medications that are inhaled or ingested by the patient. Our goal is to reach a safe level of minimal or moderate sedation during which a patient is able to respond to purposeful stimulation and exhibit signs of consciousness but feels that they are in a sleep/dream-like state during their appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is dental sedation safe?
Yes. Dental sedation performed by our Cypress dental team is very safe. We carefully manage dosage and monitor your vitals throughout the procedure to keep you comfortable and secure.
What are the different types of sedation?
We provide nitrous oxide sedation (delivered through a nasal mask) and oral sedation, which involves taking a sedative pill.
Will I be asleep during treatment?
No, you won’t, but you may feel like you slept through your treatment. That’s because of the relaxing effect of the sedation technique we use.
What does dental sedation feel like?
Many patients say it feels like you’re taking a nap. You will be in a dream-like state, but still conscious enough to respond to our dentist.
Can I drive myself home after sedation?
It depends on the type of sedation. With nitrous oxide, the effects wear off within minutes, so most patients can drive themselves home. With oral sedation, however, you’ll need to arrange for someone to drive you — the medication stays in your system for several hours and driving is not safe until it fully wears off.
