Sedation Dentistry in Cypress, TX

Sedation dentistry involves using safe, proven methods to help you stay relaxed during treatment. The mildest form, known as nitrous oxide or “laughing gas,” is administered through a small mask placed over your nose. It takes effect quickly, helping you feel calm and at ease while remaining fully awake and responsive.

For patients who need deeper relaxation, we also offer oral conscious sedation. This option involves taking a prescribed pill before your visit, helping you feel deeply relaxed or even drowsy throughout your procedure. You’ll stay awake but may not remember much of your appointment. Because the effects take time to wear off, you’ll need someone to drive you home afterward.

For patients who experience stronger anxiety or are undergoing longer procedures, oral sedation can be a great choice. Before your appointment, you’ll take a prescribed pill that helps you feel deeply relaxed—even a little sleepy. You’ll stay awake during treatment but may not remember much afterward. Because this type of sedation takes time to wear off, you’ll need someone to drive you home after your visit.

With this method, you’ll remain awake and aware, but in a deeply relaxed state. Many patients describe the experience as feeling calm and detached from their surroundings. Since this type of sedation can make you drowsy, you’ll need a companion to bring you to and from your appointment.

Nitrous oxide is a light, fast-acting sedation option that helps reduce stress and anxiety during treatment. It’s administered through a soft nasal mask and begins working within minutes. After your procedure, the effects wear off quickly, allowing most patients to resume their day and even drive themselves home.
