Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety is common, but it doesn’t have to prevent you from getting the care you need. We offer free N20 (laughing gas) sedation for all our patients!
Dental Sedation at Goliad Dental Care
Dental sedation is a safe and effective way to manage anxiety during dental procedures. We offer IV sedation for treatments like wisdom teeth removal and deep cleanings, and it’s available for other procedures upon request. Whether you’re nervous about a filling or need a complex procedure, our licensed dentist, Dr. Oliva, provides personalized sedation options to ensure your comfort.
We’re proud to be among the few practices in the area with expertise in IV dental sedation. Let us help you feel confident and relaxed during your visit.

What types of sedation are available for dental procedures?
We offer multiple types of sedation to meet your needs:
- Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask to help you relax.
- Oral Sedation: Medication taken before your appointment for moderate relaxation.
- IV Sedation: Administered through a vein for deeper relaxation during complex procedures.

Is sedation dentistry safe for everyone?
Sedation dentistry is safe for most patients, but we assess your medical history and current health before proceeding. Our team monitors you closely during the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort throughout. Patients with certain conditions may require alternative methods.
-
Will I need someone to accompany me after a sedation appointment?
Yes, if you receive IV sedation, you’ll need someone to drive you home. The effects of these sedatives can linger for a few hours, so it’s important to have a companion for safety and support. Laughing gas typically wears off quickly, so a companion may not be necessary in those cases.
