About Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry, is an effective way to lessen dental anxiety and help patients feel more comfortable during treatments. Dental anxiety or phobia is common, and it may stop people from getting the necessary dental treatments. With dental sedation in Channelview, TX, we offer a needle-free way to calm their nerves and make them feel more relaxed.
The use of these techniques also minimizes pain and discomfort during dental procedures. Unlike general anesthesia, you remain fully conscious and responsive during the treatment duration. The recovery time is also short, allowing you to return soon to your normal routine.
Questions About Sedation Dentistry?
Types of Sedation Dentistry We Offer In Channelview, TX
- Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, has been used as an effective sedative for many years. It is easy to administer and takes effect within a few minutes. Due to this reason, we particularly recommend nitrous oxide sedation in Channelview, TX, for children who feel restless during appointments.
To administer nitrous oxide, our dentist will place a small mask over your nose and ask you to breathe normally. Within a few minutes, you will begin to feel more calm and relaxed while remaining conscious. After the dental procedure, we will stop the gas inflow and induce the flow of pure oxygen to remove the traces of nitrous oxide from your body. - Oral Sedation
For people with moderate to severe forms of dental anxiety, our dentists recommend oral sedation to help them feel at ease. It involves taking a sedative pill about an hour before the dental procedure. Once the sedative begins to work, it will induce a sleep-like state, helping you feel more relaxed.
You will remain conscious during treatment but won’t experience pain or discomfort. After the treatment is complete, we will allow you to recover for a short while. The effect of oral sedatives may last a few hours, so it is better to have someone along to drive you back home.

What People Say About Us
I would highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a dentist. The office staff was very helpful and friendly, the wait time was very minimal. From the time we started the exam till when we left we felt comfortable. Dr.Nguyen and his assistant made my daughter feel very comfortable and at ease throughout her entire procedure by explaining each step as they went.
~ Jessica Martinez
Lovely staff and great doctor. He talks you through everything and is very personable. We moved about 45 mins away but will still make the drive to see Dr. Nguyen. I gave 4 stars because after I brought my husband after I had a great visit, we had to remind the staff that we weren't being tended to and just waiting in one of the exam rooms.
~ Kimberly U.
Dr Reza Rahgozar, Dr Smith and staff took amazing care of me. I hadn't been to a dentist in almost 4 years and they gave me a thorough deep cleaning and evaluation. He scanned my whole mouth in 3D and is going to use the 3D scan to make some Invisalign type guards to protect and straighten my teeth. None of it hurt and was comfortable the whole time. Felt like hanging out with an old friend.
