Sedation Dentistry in Frisco
Relaxed, anxiety-free dental care for patients who need a little extra comfort.
Dental Care Without the Anxiety
Dental anxiety is real, and there’s no shame in it. Whether you’ve had a bad experience in the past or simply feel nervous in the dental chair, Stonelake Family Dentistry offers sedation options to help you relax and receive the care you need.
Our most popular option is nitrous oxide — commonly known as laughing gas. It’s safe, gentle, and wears off quickly after your appointment. You’ll feel calm and comfortable during your procedure and can drive yourself home afterward.
If you’ve been avoiding the dentist in Frisco because of anxiety, sedation dentistry can help you break that cycle. We’ll go at your pace, explain everything in advance, and make sure you feel safe and in control.
Sedation Options
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask and creates a feeling of calm and relaxation. It wears off within minutes after the mask is removed, so you can drive yourself home.
Local Anesthesia
We use local anesthesia for virtually every procedure to ensure the treatment area is completely numb. You’ll feel no pain — just mild pressure.
Comfort Amenities
From warm blankets to noise-canceling headphones, we offer small touches that make a big difference in how comfortable you feel during your visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is laughing gas safe?
Yes. Nitrous oxide has been used safely in dentistry for over a century. It’s well-tolerated by both adults and children, and its effects wear off quickly.
Will I be unconscious with sedation?
No. With nitrous oxide, you’re fully conscious and able to communicate. You simply feel relaxed and less aware of the procedure.
Can I drive home after sedation?
Yes, if you received only nitrous oxide. The effects wear off within minutes of removing the mask. Other forms of sedation may require a driver.
Is sedation available for all procedures?
We can offer nitrous oxide for virtually any procedure — from routine cleanings to more involved treatments. Just let us know you’d like it when scheduling.
