Nitrous Oxide Dentistry in Austin, TX

Nitrous can be used to put you into a calmer, more relaxed state while having work done. Many people are nervous of the dental office and tend to forgo treatment because of this fear. When you have nitrous oxide, you’re put into a relaxed state that allows you to still be slightly aware of your surroundings without truly understanding what’s going on. The sedation is provided easily and safely in our office and is available upon request.

You will come into our office and be seated comfortably. We will administer nitrous oxide through a tube that is attached to a nose mask. The nose mask is placed over your nose and the gas released into your system. You will begin to feel calm, comfortable and slightly dissociated. In some cases, nitrous oxide can produce hallucinations, but this is more common in children. Treatment will be done while you’re under sedation and the effects will wear off shortly after the work has been completed.

If you think you need a dental bridge or want to know more about this procedure, call our office today and we’ll be happy to assist you.
