At The Art of Dentistry we provide oral conscious sedation which is generally safer than being sedated intravenously. A couple of small pills are taken prior to procedures such as tooth colored fillings, root canals, porcelain veneers, and dental implants. The patient can remain conscious and aware, but typically have only a slight recollection of their visit. For more information on your sedation dentistry options please call our office at (432) 367-0202.
