Gentle Dental Care
Don’t let fear of the dentist hold you back from getting dental care. Our team aims to make your dental visits as comfortable as possible. While most of our patients feel relaxed in our care, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation for the treatments that require it. Our sedation dentist in Plainview understands that dental anxiety can be a barrier to care and is dedicated to providing a calm experience for everyone.
Is sedation dentistry right for you?
We offer sedation as an option for those who:
- NExperience dental anxiety
- NHave trouble with uncontrollable gagging
- NNeed longer or multiple procedures in one visit
Our comprehensive approach ensures you remain comfortable during your dental visits, helping you feel at ease.
Our Sedation Options
Nitrous Oxide
A non-irritating, odorless gas that is inhaled, nitrous oxide relieves anxiety. It works rapidly, usually within 2 minutes, and wears off quickly so you can get back to your daily routine right after your appointment.
Oral Sedation
A prescription drug that will induce a deeper form of sedation taken before your appointment, oral sedation keeps you calm and comfortable throughout your visit. There can be serious drug interactions with oral sedation, and it is imperative you follow directions from your doctor or dentist to avoid any serious complications or side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s safe and effective for reducing discomfort.
Will I be awake during the procedure?
With nitrous oxide, you will be awake but relaxed. Oral sedation may make you drowsy, but you will remain conscious and able to respond.
How long does the sedation last?
Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, while oral sedation effects can last for several hours. We’ll provide specific instructions based on the type of sedation used.
Is sedation dentistry safe?

Can I drive home after my appointment?
After nitrous oxide, you can drive yourself home. However, if you choose oral sedation, you will need someone to escort you to the appointment, remain in the office with you during the appointment, as well as ensure you are safely home after the appointment.
