At the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand that going to the dentist can be a source of anxiety for many people. Sedation dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry, utilizes sedatives to induce a tranquil state before or during dental treatments. This allows patients, like you, to remain at-ease during the dental procedure and enjoy a sense of well-being after the appointment.
With IV sedation, the sedative is administered intravenously and the strength of the dosage can be adjusted during your procedure. Like oral sedation, IV sedation is not an anesthetic; the anesthesia is administered after the sedative has taken effect. Our specially trained Dentists offer intravenous (IV) sedation to patients for some of our more complex dental procedures. If you would like to learn more about our sedation dentistry techniques, please call and schedule a consultation at our office located in The Woodlands, TX.
