Why Choose Keep Smiling Waco for Sedation Dentistry?
- Three Levels of Dental Sedation to Fit Your Needs
- A Judgment-Free Zone for Anxious Patients
- Experienced, Caring Team You Can Trust
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (aka laughing gas) is our lightest sedation option and a great starting point for patients with mild anxiety. Administered through a small nose mask, it produces a gentle sense of calm within minutes. The effects wear off almost immediately after your appointment, so you can drive yourself home and get on with your day.
Oral Conscious Sedation
For patients who need a little more relief, oral conscious sedation delivers a deeper level of calm. You'll take a prescribed medication before your appointment and arrive already feeling relaxed. But don’t worry, you'll stay wide awake throughout your treatment. You’ll also need a ride home, so plan accordingly!
IV Dental Sedation
IV sedation is our deepest sedation option, delivering fast-acting relaxation through a small IV line. It's great for patients with dental phobia or those undergoing longer, more complex procedures. With it, you'll be in a deeply calm state, and possibly a little drowsy. A ride home will be required!
