Why Waco Patients Choose Central Texas Dental Care for Sedation
Three Sedation Options Under One Roof
The practice offers all three commonly used sedation options: nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Your dentist matches the sedation level to the procedure and your anxiety level, so you receive the comfort you actually need rather than a one-size-fits-all option. The right sedation is the one that fits your specific case.
IV Sedation Administered In-House
Not every dental practice keeps IV sedation in-house. At Central Texas Dental Care, IV sedation is administered on-site for deeper-relaxation cases and longer procedures. Your dentist in Waco, TX, will monitor your vitals throughout the visit, and you spend the appointment in a state of deep relaxation. For severe dental anxiety or complex restorative work, in-house IV sedation removes a referral step.
Four Sedation-Trained Dentists
All four dentists at the practice (Drs. Michael Cooney, Monte Cooper, Nicholas Sager, and Garrett Conlan) are trained in dental sedation. Whichever dentist you see for a procedure, you can receive sedation with confidence and consistent protocols. The team has spent 40 years building comfort-first care into the practice, and the sedation program is the most direct expression of that focus.

Your Care Is Affordable With Insurance and Financing
Our Waco office accepts most insurances to lower the costs of general and restorative care. However, your insurance likely won’t contribute to the cost of cosmetic dentistry procedures or sedation. If you’re receiving cosmetic care or require a higher level of comfort through sedation, you can pay for your care in affordable installments with CareCredit® financing.
A Virtually Pain-Free Experience Pairing Sedation With Local Anesthesia
While the sedation you receive will help you feel relaxed in the dental chair and alleviate pain and discomfort, we go the extra mile at our dentist’s office. Your sedation will be paired with local anesthesia to numb the treatment area throughout your appointment and after you leave our office.
Your dentist will typically administer your local anesthesia once you’re already feeling comfortable from the sedation to further reduce any feelings of anxiety.
How We Provide Exceptional Comfort
If fear or anxiety has kept you from the dentist, sedation can change that. Here, Dr. Cooney explains how IV and oral options work, and what to expect before and after your visit. If you need extra support to feel comfortable, Central Texas Dental Care can help.
Putting Patient
Comfort First
“Yesterday was the first time I’d seen a dentist in about 10 years, so to say I was nervous is a huge understatement. After letting her know how much I dread getting my teeth cleaned she immediately offered some numbing gel before starting. I will be returning in December for another cleaning with confidence and much less anxiety.”
