The problem: dental fear keeps people from care they need
Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons people put off treatment — sometimes for years — until a small problem becomes a painful, expensive one. The longer treatment is delayed, the harder it can be. The fear is real, and it deserves a real solution, not a lecture.
The solution: comfortable, monitored IV sedation
With IV (intravenous) sedation, you stay in a deeply relaxed, drowsy state during your procedure. Many patients remember little of the visit. What sets The Denture Gallery apart is that sedation is supported by a board-certified anesthesiologist — a level of care many general dental offices in Central Texas simply do not offer in-house. Your vital signs are monitored throughout.

Frequently asked questions
Is IV sedation dentistry safe?
IV sedation is well established when administered and monitored by trained professionals. Here it is supported by a board-certified anesthesiologist on staff, with vital-sign monitoring throughout. Your health history is reviewed first to confirm it is appropriate for you.
Will I be asleep during IV sedation?
You will be in a deeply relaxed, drowsy state. Many patients remember little or nothing, though it is not the same as general anesthesia. Sedation is adjusted to keep you comfortable and safe.
Can I get extractions and dentures done under sedation?
Yes — IV sedation is commonly used for extractions, including full-mouth extractions, and immediate dentures can be placed the same day.
Do I need a ride home after IV sedation?
Yes. Sedation effects linger, so you will need a responsible adult to drive you home. We review all instructions in advance.
