We understand—visiting the dentist is not everyone’s favorite thing to do. For some, it’s a mild case of nerves. For others, it’s a deep fear that keeps them from getting the care they need. At Park Hill Dental, our North San Antonio sedation dentist is here to change that experience with genuine compassion and safe, effective options. Our goal isn’t just to treat teeth. It’s to treat people.
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It doesn’t mean you’re “put under” or completely unconscious (unless using IV sedation). Instead, sedation helps take the edge off, whether it’s calming your nerves, dulling your awareness of time, or helping you breeze through a longer appointment with ease.
The best part? You’re never alone in the process. From start to finish, our team guides you through every step, listens closely to your needs, and ensures that your safety and comfort are always our top priority.

At Park Hill Dental, we tailor sedation options to your individual health history, comfort level, and specific treatment needs.
Nitrous Oxide
Often called “laughing gas,” this mild sedative is inhaled through a mask, helping you feel calm without putting you to sleep.
Oral Conscious Sedation
A prescribed pill taken before your visit helps reduce anxiety and make the experience more manageable.
IV Sedation
Administered by a licensed professional, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation and is often used for complex or lengthy procedures.
Whichever method is right for you, our trained team will closely monitor you and ensure your safety and comfort throughout the entire process.
It depends on the type. With nitrous oxide or oral sedation, you’ll be awake but deeply relaxed. IV sedation may make you feel as though you’re asleep, even though you can still respond to cues.
If you choose nitrous oxide, you should be able to drive yourself. For oral or IV sedation, you’ll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
