THE benefits OF Sedation Dentistry

Overcome Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety affects up to 50% of adults, preventing many from seeking necessary care. Dr. Lily Morgan's sedation options at Ellem Dental help Richardson patients feel calm and relaxed, removing the barrier between anxiety and healthy teeth.

Complete Treatment Comfortably

Sedation allows Dr. Lily Morgan to perform longer or more complex procedures in a single visit at Ellem Dental. You'll feel relaxed throughout treatment, and time will seem to pass quickly. Richardson patients can complete necessary dental work without multiple stressful appointments.

Your Sedation Options

Dental anxiety shouldn't keep you from getting the care you need. At Ellem Dental, we offer multiple sedation options tailored to your comfort level and treatment needs, helping you relax through even complex procedures in our Richardson office.

Oral Sedation

Safe and effective, oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help you achieve a deeply relaxed state. You'll remain conscious and able to respond, but most patients remember little about the procedure. Perfect for longer treatments or moderate anxiety, oral sedation at Ellem Dental allows Dr. Morgan to work efficiently while you stay calm and comfortable.

Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide)

Gentle and fast-acting, nitrous oxide—commonly known as laughing gas—helps you relax within minutes through a comfortable mask. You'll remain fully conscious and in control while feeling calm and at ease throughout your treatment. The effects wear off quickly after your appointment, making it ideal for patients with mild to moderate anxiety who need to drive themselves home.

IV Sedation

Administered directly into your bloodstream, IV sedation provides the deepest level of relaxation available at Ellem Dental. Dr. Morgan carefully monitors you throughout the procedure while you drift into a sleep-like state with little to no memory of the treatment. Best suited for extensive dental work, severe anxiety, or patients who prefer to be completely unaware during procedures, IV sedation ensures maximum comfort from start to finish.

Common questions about sedation dentistry in Richardson, TX
Will I be completely unconscious with sedation dentistry?

With most sedation options at Ellem Dental, you remain conscious and responsive throughout your procedure. Oral sedation and nitrous oxide create deep relaxation while you stay awake. IV sedation produces a sleep-like state where you may not remember the procedure, but you're not fully unconscious like general anesthesia. Dr. Lily Morgan will discuss which option best fits your needs in Richardson.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, when administered by a trained professional like Dr. Lily Morgan, sedation dentistry is very safe. At Ellem Dental in Richardson, we carefully review your medical history and monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure. Sedation medications are not painkillers, so you'll still receive local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort.

Can I drive myself home after sedation?

After nitrous oxide, you can drive yourself home once the effects wear off (usually within minutes). However, after oral or IV sedation at Ellem Dental, you'll need someone to drive you home and stay with you for several hours. Dr. Lily Morgan provides detailed pre- and post-sedation instructions for all Richardson patients.
