For health. For beauty. For you.

Many people are fearful about visiting a dentist. To help them, Dr. Tejas Patel of the Center of Cosmetic & General Dentistry in Austin, Texas, offers sedation dentistry, in which guests are given relaxing medications.

A range of options
You can have nitrous oxide (laughing gas), which many people are familiar with, and which relaxes you without impairing your consciousness of your surroundings.

You can have a stronger sedative that Dr. Patel will prescribe for you. These medications will calm you and make you tired and sleepy.  You would take it before leaving home that day, so you’d need someone to drive you to Dr. Patel’s office, and home again afterwards. With this option you’ll feel drowsy and calm, but still be able to hear requests from the staff.

Dr. Patel will discuss your level of anxiety to determine which medication is right for you.

Safety
Dr Patel has completed courses in conscious sedation dentistry, and monitors your vital signs during the procedure at all times.  He will also make sure that the sedation medications do not conflict or interact in a harmful way with your current medications.

If you’re interested in the world-class sedation dentistry performed in Dr. Patel’s office, please schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Patel, through our treatment coordinator.
