Our sedation dentistry service has helped numerous patients triumph over their dental apprehensions. So sit back, relax, and let us take care of you.

    What Are The Different Dental Sedation Options?

    Each sedation option has unique strengths designed to cater to different patient needs and procedure requirements.

    1
    Conscious Sedation / IV Sedation

    This method is used to put the patient in a state of deep relaxation whilst still being conscious, thus combining the benefits of pain relief and calmness. Administered intravenously, this type of sedation allows the dentist to continually adjust the level of sedation, ensuring total patient comfort throughout a procedure.

    2
    Light Sedation

    It is milder compared to IV sedation and is ideal for individuals who might simply suffer from slight anxiety, but not a phobia. Light sedation is typically administered orally or via inhalation and leaves the patient in a relaxed, but wholly responsive state. This type of sedation diminishes anxiety while allowing the patient to communicate with the dentist during the procedure.

    3
    Nitrous Sedation

    Also known as laughing gas, is a popular method of dental sedation. Mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a mask placed over the nose, nitrous sedation provides a sense of euphoria and well-being. The effects of this gas are nearly immediate and dissipate quickly once the mask is removed. This way, patients can drive themselves home after their appointment without lingering side effects.

    I’ve been going here for over a decade, I honestly have great teeth health so I’m only here for cleanings but I’m a huge fan. Dr. Holloman is incredibly friendly, very chill and his whole staff are always sweet. My hygienist Michelle is lovely & Maria the Office Manager is the glue that holds it all together. I’m very happy here, I’m a lifer.

    My recent visit for dental cleaning (thank you, Michelle!) can best be described as consistently excellent. From the front office to the clinical ‘back office’, I felt personally welcomed and competently cared for. I deeply appreciate the entire team at Dr Holloman’s!

    Coming from a patient that has always feared any and all dental procedures, this practice is great. Since my first experience with them several years ago, they have made visiting their office a positive one. I know that it will be pain and anxiety free with great and professional, caring staff.
