Sedation Dentistry in Bastrop, LA – Relax
Nitrous Oxide- Laughing Gas
Gentle, quick-acting, and ideal for patients with mild dental anxiety. Nitrous oxide helps you relax during your visit and wears off within minutes, so you can drive yourself home afterward.
Oral Sedation
Taken as a simple pill before your appointment, oral sedation provides deeper relaxation for those with moderate to severe anxiety or for longer procedures. You’ll have no memory of the procedure, and most people sleep through the whole thing.
IV Sedation
For patients with severe dental fear or extensive treatment needs, IV sedation offers the deepest level of relaxation. You’ll be closely monitored throughout the procedure by our trained team to ensure your comfort and safety.

At Chad Gardner, DDS, patient safety is our top priority. Dr. Gardner and our trained team follow strict sedation protocols, using advanced monitoring equipment to track your vital signs throughout your procedure. We’ll review your medical history, discuss your options, and answer any questions before starting treatment.
