Why Should I Get Sedation Dentistry?
From mild pre-dentist nerves to full dental phobia, sedation dentistry is a proven solution to help you feel calm, relaxed, and in control. If you’ve avoided dental care due to fear or discomfort, Dr. Homsi’s specialized approach merges clinical precision with compassionate care to change that experience.
At Primavera Dental Group, sedation options are chosen based on your procedure, health history, and personal preferences. They are delivered in a welcoming setting that feels more like a spa than a dental office. For patients undergoing complex treatments like dental implants or full-mouth restorations, sedation also helps minimize the physical and emotional strain, making recovery smoother and more efficient.
Did You Know?
Sedation dentistry was first used as early as 1844 to help patients undergo painless extractions.
BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN
Invisalign doesn’t disrupt your smile because the clear aligners are unnoticeable and blend in with your teeth. Even when patients need to get Invisalign attachments bonded to their teeth, these are made of tooth-colored resin that blends in with the teeth and is covered with the aligners.
Invisalign is much more hygienic than braces because you’re able to remove them to thoroughly brush and floss. This also prevents food particles and stains from being trapped in your aligners, since you take them out before eating and can easily clean the surfaces of your aligners.
When patients wear braces, they need to avoid many of their favorite foods that are hard, sticky, or crunchy because they can break or get stuck in their braces. You can enjoy a restriction-free diet with Invisalign. The pressure exerted on your teeth is also greatly minimized thanks to our Smart Track aligners which place gentle pressure on your teeth.
Invisalign is also associated with fewer appointments and faster treatment times.
The Benefits Of Sedation Dentistry
Ease Dental Anxiety and Fear
With sedation options ranging from oral medication to IV sedation, patients can finally relax in the dental chair, even during lengthy or invasive procedures. This allows for a more positive dental experience overall.
Comfort During Complex Procedures
Sedation plays a vital role in procedures like full arch restorations or multiple extractions by reducing discomfort and allowing time-intensive treatments to be completed in fewer visits. Dr. Homsi’s prosthodontic training ensures these are performed with expert precision.
Improved Treatment Efficiency
When patients are comfortable and relaxed, our team can work more efficiently and effectively. That means fewer interruptions, better focus, and optimal results, enhanced further by our advanced tools like digital scanners and 3D imaging.

The Sedation Dentistry Treatment Process
Comprehensive Consultation and Assessment
Your journey begins with a personal consultation at Primavera Dental Group, where Dr. Homsi takes time to understand your unique concerns and dental goals. A full health evaluation ensures sedation is a safe option for you. Whether you’re anxious about a single procedure or managing overall dental fear, we create a supportive plan tailored to your needs. We put your comfort first from the very beginning.
Customizing Your Sedation Approach
Based on your treatment and comfort level, Dr. Homsi will recommend the most appropriate sedation method: oral sedation, nitrous oxide, or IV sedation. Each method is administered with your safety and comfort in mind. Our tranquil, spa-inspired setting, complete with plush blankets, relaxing music, and personal entertainment options, elevates the experience and helps patients in Downtown Austin feel completely at ease before and during the appointment.
Administering Sedation and Performing Treatment
On the day of your procedure, sedation is carefully administered and continuously monitored by our trained clinical team. As sedation takes effect, you’ll enter a deeply relaxed state. Often, you will have little to no memory of the procedure afterward. Dr. Homsi then performs the dental work with expert care and attention to detail, utilizing advanced technology to ensure precision and excellence throughout your treatment.
