About Sedation Dentistry
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. From mild relaxation with nitrous oxide to deep sedation with IV medication, we have options for every level of anxiety.
Sedation is ideal for dental anxiety, gag reflex issues, extensive procedures, and special needs patients. Plus our comfort amenities — blankets, Netflix, and noise-canceling headphones — make every visit more relaxing.
Families across Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, Cross Creek Ranch, and the greater Katy area trust Smile Avenue for compassionate, anxiety-free care. All procedures are available under sedation.

About Sedation Dentistry in Katy, TX
Sedation Dentistry in Katy, Texas
Smile Avenue Family Dentistry on Westheimer Parkway is the Katy dental practice anxious patients trust most. With three levels of sedation — nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation — plus warm blankets, Netflix, and noise-canceling headphones in every room, we've helped thousands of Katy patients overcome dental fear.
Our Katy sedation team, led by Dr. Patrick Vuong and Dr. Sameer Bilal, is specially trained and certified in sedation administration. Every patient is continuously monitored with pulse oximetry and vital sign tracking. Safety is never compromised for comfort.
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients who avoid the dentist due to anxiety, gag reflex issues, or past negative experiences. Many patients who haven't been to the dentist in years come specifically to our Katy office because our sedation options let them catch up on deferred care in one or two comfortable appointments.
Families from Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne, and Fulshear choose us for anxiety-free dental care — including Saturday availability (8am-2pm). Nitrous oxide starts at $50-$100, oral sedation $150-$300, and IV sedation $250-$500. Some insurance plans cover sedation for qualifying procedures.
