Sedation Dentistry Fort Worth , TX

Treatment with sedation dentistry

Depending on your medical history, and your level of anxiety toward dental treatments, we offer you four levels of sedation dentistry for a safe treatment experience.

1. Conscious sedation: We increase the amount of anesthetic used so the sedation is increased, but the patient is still conscious. Some patients also tend to fall asleep during this treatment.
2. IV Sedation: This is deep sedation and the anesthetic is delivered intravenously. The patient is asleep during the procedure but can be awakened at a moment’s notice by the nurse or dentist.
3. General Anesthesia: This is the most intense sedation that is available for dental treatments and we use this for patients who are positively terrified of dental treatments. The patient is completely asleep during the process and does not recall anything about the treatment and cannot be woken until the effect has worn. We use this method for surgical treatments as well.
