Visiting the dentist likely isn’t on anyone’s list of their favorite things to do, but some people genuinely feel so much anxiety about dental care that they stay away from the dental office completely. Whether you have full-blown dental phobia, or you simply want to calm your nerves, we offer options for sedation dentistry in Lancaster, TX that can make your experience easier and smoother. As a result, you can expect to have a comfortable, productive appointment every time you come to Sunny Dental without any stress. If you would like to use sedation for your next appointment, give us a call today.
Before your child's appointment, our Board-Certified pediatric dentist will prescribe medication to take at home, and by the time we're ready to start our visit, they'll feel completely at ease and able to sit comfortably in the treatment chair. Although they'll stay awake throughout the procedure, they will be in a dream-like state and likely not remember details from the appointment. What they (and you) will remember is a relaxing and hassle-free dental experience!
Sometimes, patients just need to take the edge off their dental anxiety. Nitrous oxide sedation is ideal for adults and children who are undergoing routine dental care. Administered through a small nasal mask, this form of sedation causes a patient to feel content, warm, and slightly numb all over within just minutes. Then, when the procedure is over, the mask is removed, and the effects wear off almost instantly, allowing a patient to get straight back to their regular day.
Are you ready for no more dental anxiety or fear while taking care of your smile? Dental sedation is an excellent option for nearly anyone who needs help feeling more comfortable in the dentist’s chair. At Sunny Dental, we’re proud to offer both nitrous oxide sedation and oral conscious sedation. For your convenience, we’ve gathered some of the most common questions we get about sedation dentistry below. If you don’t see the information you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

During your consultation, we’ll review your estimate, go over all your payment options, and help you discover just how affordable sedation dentistry can be.
