Sedation Dentistry

Comfortable Care for Every Patient

Sedation Dentistry at South Austin Dental

Dental treatment is genuinely difficult for many patients. Physiology, past experience, or both can make even routine visits feel stressful. We offer multiple levels of sedation to match the procedure and your comfort level. Our doctors and clinical staff bring advanced IV sedation training — including AEGD residency experience from UT Health San Antonio — to every case we manage.

Sedation Dentistry at South Austin Dental in Austin TX

What We Offer

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild sedative inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. You remain conscious and responsive but feel relaxed and less aware of the procedure. Effects wear off within minutes, and most patients can drive themselves home.

Oral Sedation

A prescription sedative taken before your appointment produces a deeper state of relaxation. You remain conscious but may feel drowsy and have limited memory of the procedure afterward. A responsible adult must drive you home.

IV Sedation

Sedative medication delivered directly into your bloodstream for a deeper level of sedation. Our doctors and clinical staff monitor your vital signs closely throughout the procedure. Most patients have little to no memory of the treatment. This option is recommended for complex procedures, oral surgery, or patients with significant dental anxiety. A responsible adult must accompany you.
