Sedation Dentistry in Humble, TX

Experience a relaxed, anxiety-free visit with personalized sedation options

Sedation Dentistry

Many people feel anxious before and during dental procedures. It’s okay to feel nervous or even fearful when anticipating an appointment. We understand that our patients aren’t all the same, and we have great news: you have options! You can experience dental treatment in a comfortable, customized approach with several different methods of sedation.

The most common forms of sedation used in dentistry are inhalation, oral, and intravenous sedation. While making dentistry much easier for you, it is important to understand that they are not pain-killers, and regular numbing medications still prove essential. But sedation will make every part of your treatment more enjoyable if you’re anxious.

Complete Sedation Solutions

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is an excellent option for patients who suffer from dental anxiety. It is simply taken in pill or liquid form and ingested at a set time before treatment. The drug produces a calming effect to make the visit to our office a much less stressful experience. Oral sedation is simple, safe and has very few side effects.

Inhalation Sedation

Inhalation Sedation is commonly used to make treatment more comfortable. The sedation is inhaled through a mask and produces a state of relaxation. Local anesthetic will be administered in conjunction with nitrous oxide to eliminate pain. Nitrous oxide is designed to make procedures easier for nervous patients and has been effective for many years.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is commonly referred to as "sleep dentistry" because it will be as if you fell asleep for your procedure and you won't remember much. For IV sedation to work, a specific set of chemicals are administered via IV for the duration of the procedure, and you will be carefully monitored to ensure your safety. Often reserved for oral surgery, IV sedation is also available to those with intense dental anxiety and phobia. It makes dental care much easier.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am astonished at the low reviews. My experience at this dental office was top tier. I am a former dental assistant and this is the BEST experience at a dental office I have ever had. The technology is modern, the office was beautiful, clean, and made me feel comfortable. His assistant answered all of my questions and told me what to expect. The doctor himself, Dr. Gaitan was extremely professional and careful. I didn't even feel the shots in my gums to numb! He used a latex cover that prevented pieces of the tooth from falling into my mouth which often happens during dental procedures. He and his assistant worked so efficiently together they didn't even need to speak to each other. Quick, painless and professional. If I ever need another root canal I will return 100%. I wish all of my dental experiences were like this.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were referred here for a root canal, maybe two. Pleasant staff and happy over all. The doctor explained everything during the consultation and we talked over some questions. The assistants and office staff were great. The office was accommodating as we needed nitrous for the visit. I have no idea about why some of the reviews are way off about this place. Also, all “paperwork” is digital, which is a nice change.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Gaitan was exceptional. I was very nervous (as always when going to dentist 😬) and Dr. Gaitan was very professional with great bedside manners, which helped ease my nerves. His assistant was also great. Big thank you to Lake Houston Endodontics!
