Sedation Dentistry Waco TX

Less Pain Procedures In 4 Proven Ways

• Minimal Sedation: Nitrous oxide is the mildest sedation available and we use it for the less intrusive treatments that might be painful. It simply keeps the patient relaxed during the process, but awake and conscious.
• Conscious Sedation: Primarily deals with helping you block your pain during the treatment. Patients may tend to fall asleep but are generally awake during the process.
• IV Sedation: This is reserved for more serious cases, where the patient is anxious about the treatment being a painful experience. This medication is delivered intravenously and induces a deep relaxation in the patient. The patient falls asleep but can be awakened at a moment’s notice by the dentist or nurse.
• General Anesthesia: The patient is put to a deep sleep medically, and cannot be awakened until the effect wears off completely.
