Intravenous Sedation
At Central Texas Periodontics, we offer multiple sedation options to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience for our patients. Sedation dentistry is ideal for those who experience dental anxiety, have a low pain threshold, or require lengthy procedures. Our sedation options include:
IV Sedation – A deeper level of sedation administered intravenously, allowing patients to remain in a relaxed, sleep-like state while still being responsive.
Oral Sedation – A prescribed medication taken before the appointment to help patients feel calm and at ease during treatment.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) – A mild sedative inhaled through a mask, providing relaxation while allowing patients to remain fully conscious and recover quickly.
Sedation dentistry offers several benefits, including:
✔️ Reduced fear and anxiety during treatment
✔️ Diminished sense of time, smell, and sound
✔️ Increased comfort, especially for longer procedures
Each of these sedation methods can be utilized in conjunction with most procedures at Central Texas Periodontics, ensuring that every patient receives the care they need in the most comfortable way possible.
