Sedation Dentist Cypress
Stress-Free Dentistry From Start to Finish
Preparing for oral surgery can cause many patients to become nervous; however, with the help of sedation dentistry in Cypress, a more stress-free experience is possible. When caring for a patient with heightened anxiety, our doctors can promote improved comfort by determining whether the individual is a good candidate for nitrous oxide, oral conscious or IV sedation, or general anesthesia. By offering these options in addition to local anesthesia, we can create a calmer, more relaxing experience for patients, so don’t continue to fear dental treatment. Call us today to schedule an appointment.

- Expertly Trained Oral Surgeons Who Put Patients’ Needs First
Local Anesthesia
No matter what kind of procedure is performed in-house, we use local anesthesia to numb a patient’s mouth so that no pain is felt while in the treatment chair. Our doctors are expertly trained to administer anesthesia, which means the addition of a sedative will likely be much easier for the patient. Instead of worrying about any possible pain, they will feel nothing but calm throughout treatment.
Intravenous Anesthesia or Sedation
Patients who have extreme anxiety may find IV sedation to be most beneficial. Administered directly into a vein, the medicine quickly enters the bloodstream to produce a more relaxed effect. This fast-acting option makes it easier for our doctors to complete the procedure more efficiently while carefully observing and monitoring the patient’s vitals from beginning to end.
General Anesthesia
When multiple services are required during a single appointment, Dr. Shepard, Dr. Koo, or Dr. Beidas may recommend general anesthesia. Also known as sleep dentistry, it helps patients “fall asleep” while in the treatment chair. They will remain unfazed and unaware of their surroundings during the procedure, but will be able to wake up once our team is finished and return to normal activity much sooner than the considerable dosage provided for major surgery.
Patient Monitoring
Our ability to provide sedation and anesthesia means we take the necessary steps to ensure proper monitoring is provided. With various techniques available, our doctors closely watch each patient’s blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, respiration, and heartbeat at every stage of a procedure. We want to make sure everything remains safe, so patient monitoring makes it possible for us to avoid any complications from beginning to end.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
With nitrous oxide, patients can experience fast-acting effects that allow for a calmer experience while being treated by our caring and friendly doctors. The medication that is inhaled through a mask works quickly to eliminate anxiety and prevent individuals from feeling any pain that might otherwise be evident. The best part is that the effects wear off almost immediately, so patients can resume normal activity after their appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Ingesting prescribed pill medication is what patients can expect when choosing oral conscious sedation. This easy-to-administer solution allows our doctors to work more efficiently while the person remains comfortable and undeterred by the events happening around them. While this type of sedation is stronger than nitrous oxide, it will not cause a patient to fall unconscious. Instead, they can be awoken by our team if necessary and will likely be unable to recall the events of their appointment once treatment is finished.
