Comfort-First Care

Anxiety-Free Dentistry

If dental anxiety has kept you from getting the care you need, you're not alone — and you're not out of options. At Broberg Family Dental, Dr. Broberg is certified in sedation dentistry and offers multiple options to ensure your comfort at every visit.

Whether it's a gentle wave of relaxation from nitrous oxide or a deeper state of calm from oral sedation, we'll find the right approach to help you feel completely at ease. Many of our most anxious patients tell us that sedation dentistry changed everything for them — transforming dental visits from something they dreaded into something they could genuinely handle.

💨

Nitrous Oxide

Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask and produces a calm, relaxed feeling within minutes. You remain fully conscious and responsive. The effects wear off quickly — you can drive yourself home afterward.

💊

Oral Sedation

A prescription medication taken before your appointment produces a deeper state of relaxation. You'll feel drowsy and deeply calm, though you'll remain conscious. This option is ideal for patients with significant anxiety or for longer procedures.

🤝

Personalized Approach

We assess every patient individually to determine the best sedation option. Your medical history, anxiety level, and the nature of your procedure all factor into our recommendation. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help eligible patients feel calmer and more comfortable during dental treatment. Broberg Family Dental offers oral sedation and laughing gas at its Southwest Austin office.
Sedation may be helpful for patients who experience dental anxiety or have difficulty feeling at ease during treatment. A dentist will review your health history, concerns, and planned care to determine whether sedation is appropriate.
Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication, while laughing gas is inhaled during the appointment. Each option works differently, and Broberg Family Dental will explain what to expect and any preparation or transportation requirements before treatment.
The appropriate comfort option depends on the patient, the procedure, and the dentist's clinical assessment. Contact Broberg Family Dental to discuss your concerns and learn which sedation options may be available for your visit.
Sedation and local anesthesia serve different purposes, so local numbing may still be used depending on the procedure. The dental team will explain the comfort measures planned for your visit.
Preparation requirements depend on your health history and the sedation option being used. Broberg Family Dental will provide specific instructions before your appointment, including any transportation or eating and drinking requirements that apply.
Yes. Both nitrous oxide and oral sedation have excellent safety profiles when administered by a trained dentist. Dr. Broberg is certified in oral sedation and monitors patients throughout every procedure. We review your complete medical history before recommending any sedation option.
Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes after the mask is removed — you can drive yourself home. Oral sedation effects can last several hours, so you'll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
