“The sedation was phenomenal.”
Michelle needed an extensive amount of dental work because of her TMJ disorder and the damage it caused. With sedation, she says her appointment felt like taking a nap, and she didn’t feel a thing. If you need extensive dental work, a lengthy procedure, or something to calm your nerves, try sedation dentistry.

When Sedation Dentistry Makes Sense
You don’t need to have severe dental anxiety to benefit from sedation. Many patients choose sedation for longer or more involved treatments, or simply to make their visit more comfortable. We may recommend sedation for:
- Root Canal Treatment: Calm your nerves during one of the most misunderstood procedures in dentistry
- Dental Implants: Reduce stress during implant placement or full-mouth reconstruction
- Wisdom Teeth Removal: Ease discomfort and anxiety during extractions
- Emergency Dentistry: Feel more in control during urgent or unexpected care
- Smile Makeovers: Stay relaxed through a series of cosmetic or restorative treatments
Whether you’re planning ahead or facing an unplanned dental visit, our team will help you decide if sedation is right for your situation.
FAQ About Sedation Dentistry in Pearland, TX
Am I a candidate for sedation dentistry?
Most likely. If you’ve put off dental care and need extensive work, have a lengthy dental procedure ahead of you, have trouble sitting still for long periods, have sensitive teeth, or feel nervous about treatment, you could be a candidate. However, if you’re pregnant or have certain medical conditions, you may not be a candidate. Discuss this with your dentist during your consultation.
Can I drive myself to my appointment?
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is a light form of sedation that wears off quickly, so you can drive yourself to and from your appointment. Oral sedatives and IV sedation are deep sedation options that take a while to wear off, so you’ll need a friend or family member to drive you home after your appointment.
Will I be awake throughout treatment?
With oral conscious sedation or nitrous oxide, most patients stay awake enough that they can communicate with their dentist. With oral sedatives, you might not remember the experience. With IV sedation, you’ll be in a deep state of relaxation for your full treatment. You may even relax deep enough to fall asleep.
