Nu Dentistry Spring provides multiple sedation methods to help our patients regardless of their treatment or anxiety levels
Taken an hour before via pill, oral sedation is stronger than laughing gas and helps patients feel relaxed and drowsy while we work. It is a conscious sedation, but many patients feel so comfortable that they fall asleep! Patients may forget most or all of their appointment, which can be a relief for those who don’t want to remember their dentist visits.
Nitrous oxide is a sweet-smelling, colorless gas that you inhale through a breathing mask placed over your nose. It is incredibly fast-acting, so you can already start feeling calm in just a few minutes. Nitrous is the weakest sedation option, making it great if you’re anxious about more minor treatments. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly once the mask is removed.
IV sedation dentistry is the strongest method, making it popular with patients who have extreme dental phobia or who need multiple major treatments in a single visit. It is also fast-acting as it enters your bloodstream directly. Once in effect, you will be in a semi-conscious state, where you will be relaxed and sleepy while still being able to communicate.
Don't let your dental anxiety make you miss your dentist appointments ever again
Great brushing and flossing habits are the secret to a bright and healthy smile, right? However, there’s one not-talked-about problem stopping many people from keeping their smiles in great shape: dental phobia. Dental anxiety can keep patients from regularly seeing a dentist for cleanings and exams… and then stop them from coming in for their needed treatments too. In many cases, these patients don’t come in until the last minute when their cavity or gum disease is a dental worst-case scenario. At Nu Dentistry Spring, sedation dentistry can help even the most nervous patients feel safe and comfortable getting needed dental work done. What is sedation dentistry? Dental sedation uses safe but potent medications to give more comprehensive comfort and relaxation in the dental chair. Depending on the strength and type, it can be either breathed in via gas or taken through pill or IV. With sedation, you can always feel stress-free and at ease throughout your time with us, no matter the procedure or strength of your dental phobia. Dental sedation can also be a great option for patients with multiple same-day procedures or who need major work done like tooth extraction or dental implants. Our sedation dentists are experts at ensuring our patients have the best dental experience possible. We’re professionally trained to administer our range of sedation options safely and quickly so you can be on the fast track to a healthier smile in no time! Just be sure to plan ahead and have a friend or family member ready to pick you up after your appointment, if necessary. Are you ready to finally overcome your dental anxiety with the help of a sedation dentist? Reach out to our Spring dental office at (713) 489-0538 to schedule an appointment with us today.

er missing a few dental cleanings in a row due to dental anxiety, it’s not uncommon for multiple problems to have sprung up in the meantime. Major procedures like root canals and dental implant surgery can be time-consuming, and it can be difficult to make time to fit multiple appointments into your already busy schedule. However, sedation makes it easy and painless to get all of your necessary procedures done at once in a single visit. Trust us, your dental appointment will be over before you even realize it! No matter what dental treatment you are going for, oral and IV sedation dentistry help you stay calm and comfortable throughout your visit. IV sedation is especially helpful because our dentists can monitor and adjust your sedation levels throughout your procedure. Whether you’re with us for two, three, or even 8 hours, you can stay completely relaxed and enjoy your visits with us. Don’t worry, the time will go by fast! Feel free to watch your favorite movies and shows during these extended visits to fully enjoy your time with us. Make the best of your jam-packed dental appointments with sedation dentistry.

Emergencies happen at the most unexpected times. Dental emergencies can be painful and if not addressed as soon as possible, they can cause further damage. You need a great dental team on hand to handle your dental emergencies at the shortest notice. Whether you have a toothache, broken tooth, or pain in your jaw, we are ready to alleviate your pain, find the root cause and give you long term treatment options.
Cavity fillings are a necessary dental treatment meant to restore your tooth after decay and prevent further deterioration. This treatment is also used to repair cracked, chipped or fractured teeth and to also restore teeth that have been weakened over time. Cavity fillings are an extremely important treatment and only the best dentists should perform the procedure. Our qualified team of dentists are skilled at performing successful cavity fillings.
Getting your tooth extracted is usually the last option. However, many times it is the necessary solution. Your tooth extraction can be quick and painless while solving your dental condition. At Nu Dentistry, our qualified team of dentists ensure that you receive the best possible care while undergoing your tooth extraction. Afterwards, they will give you tooth replacement solutions that suit your needs so you can restore your smile and maintain your oral health.

Dental sedation is perfectly safe with the right training and when administered properly. Our dentists are experienced in all sedation methods available here at Nu Dentistry Spring. Your safety is our top priority. We will perform a thorough checkup before your dental work, including discussing your medical history, to ensure your chosen sedation is right for you. During the appointment itself, we will monitor you closely to make sure you are doing and feeling great.
2
We have a wide variety of dental anxiety treatment options available at Nu Dentistry Spring. For more severe dental phobia, sedation dentistry can often work wonders. However, with less severe dental anxiety, keeping your mind distracted and off of your treatment is often enough. This can include maintaining breathing exercises or daydreaming in the dental chair. However, each of our office’s patient rooms has two televisions, one in front and the other on the ceiling, and Bluetooth headphones so you can stream movies and shows during your visits.

This depends on the type of dental sedation you choose and how long it is needed. Laughing gas and oral sedation are less costly than IV sedation. IV sedation costs can vary based on an hourly rate. Additionally, most dental insurance providers do not cover dental sedation. However, our dental office has several alternative options to make financing all of your dental work easy and stress-free.

With nitrous oxide, the effects will wear off within minutes of removing the breathing mask. You’ll be able to drive yourself to work and go about your normal day. However, with deeper oral and IV sedation, the effects will linger for hours after your appointment. Your sense of judgement, coordination, and memory might feel a little jumbled up, so it is better to stay at home until the effects wear off fully. You can’t drive a car or operate any machinery for 24 hours afterward, so make sure to plan ahead and have someone take you home. You also shouldn’t use public
5
With nitrous oxide, you will quickly start feeling happy and giddy, and you might start laughing or smiling for no reason. Oral and IV sedation instead make you more relaxed and drowsy. The exact effects can vary depending on the person, but many patients experience feeling tired, heavy, sluggish, or like the world around them is slowed down. You may notice your arms, hands, legs, and feet feeling tingly.
6
As its name suggests, conscious sedation does not make you fall asleep for your procedure. This allows our dentists to easily communicate with you while we work. However, depending on the type of sedation, many patients feel sleepy enough to nod off during treatment. This is a natural sleep, and we can easily wake you up if necessary to ask any questions.

“The Best Dentist In Spring”
We have been looking for a family dentist for a long time, we have tried a bunch of places but nothing felt quite like home. Not too long ago we stumbled upon Nu Dentistry and met Dr. Ali. Not only was he professional, kind, and gentle, but he always finds a way to fit us in when we need an appointment. He’s also pretty funny! I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he’s doing, before he does it. That really puts me at ease.
“Never Thought I'd Say It”
I never thought I’d say it, but going to the dentist is actually fun now. I recently came in for a root canal, and I got to sit back and catch up on Stranger Things without any pain!
“Anxiety Has Kept Me Away ”
I usually have such huge anxiety when I go to a dentist appointment, which means I always put off visits until the last minute to disastrous consequences. However, Dr. Loggins helped me with sedation, so the entire process was a breeze!
