If you mean Austin, Texas, there are several dentists that specifically advertise sedation for significant dental anxiety.

• Restora Dental Arts (AnnMarie Olson DDS PA) — Jollyville/Arboretum area. They advertise nitrous, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation through dental-anesthesiologist partners, and a recent Austin discussion specifically mentioned the practice positively for severe dental anxiety. Reddit
• 8118 Dental Professionals — North/Central Austin. They advertise IV sedation as well as other anxiety-management options.
• Austin Institute of Dental Medicine — East Austin. They offer nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, with continuous monitoring; they also describe general-anesthesia options for appropriate complex cases. Austin Institute of Dental Medicine
• Goehring Dental — Southwest Austin. Their listed options include nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation, and deeper anesthesia with an anesthesiologist for appropriate cases.
• Hedgecock Dental — Southwest Austin/Oak Hill. They advertise nitrous, oral, IV, and selected general-anesthesia options.

For severe anxiety, I'd specifically ask about IV sedation or whether they can arrange an anesthesiologist, rather than assuming nitrous will be enough. IV sedation can provide substantially deeper relaxation while generally keeping you responsive; suitability depends on your medical history, medications, procedure, and the provider's sedation credentials. Austin Clarity Dental & Implant Center Austin Periodontal Associates

When you call, you can say:

“I have severe dental anxiety and may not be able to tolerate treatment while fully awake. Do you offer IV or oral sedation, and can I have a consultation specifically to discuss my sedation options before any treatment?”

If by “Crestview” you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, I can narrow this down to dentists in or very close to Crestview and check which ones explicitly handle severe dental anxiety.

If you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, TX, and you have severe dental anxiety, I’d look for a dentist who specifically discusses sedation (especially oral sedation, IV sedation, or a dental-anxiety approach), not just a general dentist who says they are “gentle.” A few Austin-area practices you could ask about sedation options:

• 8118 Dental Professionals — Near Crestview (Shoal Creek area). They advertise multiple sedation approaches, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation, and note IV sedation options.
• North Austin Dentistry — Offers sedation support including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation options according to its practice information.
• Restora Dental Arts (AnnMarie Olson DDS PA) — An Austin practice that focuses on anxiety-sensitive care and describes options including nitrous oxide, oral-conscious sedation, and IV sedation through dental anesthesia partnerships.
• Goehring Dental — South Austin practice that advertises IV sedation and experience with anxious patients.
• Groovy Dental — North Austin option that offers oral conscious sedation and emphasizes comfort-focused care.

When you call, you can say something like:

“I have severe dental anxiety and I’ve avoided dental care because of fear. I’m looking for a dentist who works with very anxious patients. What sedation options do you offer—nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation—and can I schedule a consultation first?”

A few things worth asking:

• Do you treat patients with dental phobia or past traumatic dental experiences?
• What is the deepest level of sedation you provide in-office?
• Who administers the sedation and how are vital signs monitored?
• Will I need a driver afterward?
• Can we do a consultation before any treatment?

If your anxiety is severe enough that you feel you may not be able to sit through an exam while awake, I’d specifically ask about IV sedation or a dental anesthesiology option, rather than only nitrous oxide.

I can also narrow this down to closest-to-Crestview offices with the strongest sedation options if you mean Crestview Austin (78757) and want to avoid a long drive.

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, Texas, I can look for dentists there who specifically advertise sedation dentistry—but I need your location confirmed because I don’t have a reliable user-provided location for you.

Please tell me the city/state you want to search (e.g., “Crestview, Austin, TX”).

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood of Austin, I’d put Goehring Dental near the top of your list for severe dental anxiety. Goehring Dental Their practice specifically offers IV sedation, and recent Austin community discussion includes patients describing successful full-sedation treatment there. Reddit

A few other Austin practices worth asking about:

• Restora Dental Arts (AnnMarie Olson DDS PA) — offers nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation through dental-anesthesiology partners.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — offers oral sedation and has a dentist certified in IV sedation.
• About Smiles — lists nitrous, oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and deeper “sleep dentistry” options.
• Hedgecock Dental — offers nitrous, oral, and IV sedation, with general anesthesia available for selected cases.
• Austin Dental Spa — another comfort-focused option with multiple sedation levels.

For severe anxiety, I wouldn't just ask, “Do you offer sedation?” I'd specifically ask what level of sedation they can provide, whether an anesthesiologist administers IV/deeper sedation, what monitoring is used, and whether you can have an initial consultation with no treatment. Sedation doesn't replace local anesthetic for pain control; it primarily helps with anxiety and awareness.

If you meant Crestview, Florida rather than the Austin neighborhood, tell me and I'll look specifically around there.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, Texas, I can help identify dentists who offer sedation for severe dental anxiety. I need your location first because I don’t have a user-provided location for this search.

For severe dental anxiety in the Crestview area of Austin, I’d look for a dentist who is comfortable treating dental phobia and can discuss more than just “laughing gas.” When you call, say something like: “I have severe dental anxiety and may need sedation. Can I schedule a consultation specifically to discuss sedation options before any treatment?”

A few Austin-area practices worth asking about:

• North Austin Dentistry — This is relatively close to Crestview and promotes sedation options, including IV sedation for patients who need a more anxiety-controlled experience.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — Near the Crestview/North Central area; they highlight comfort-focused care and sedation options, including oral sedation.
• Restora Dental Arts (AnnMarie Olson DDS PA) — In North Austin near the Arboretum; they specifically discuss anxiety-friendly care and multiple sedation levels, including IV sedation through anesthesia providers.
• Shoal Creek Smile Studio — Offers several sedation approaches (including nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation) and is in the broader North Austin area.
• Highland West Dental Care — Another Austin option that lists nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation for anxious patients.
• Goehring Dental — A practice that emphasizes sedation/anxiety support, including IV sedation and deeper anesthesia options for appropriate cases.

A few questions I’d ask before booking:

• “Do you treat patients with dental phobia or panic-level anxiety?”
• “What sedation levels do you provide: nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation, or anesthesia?”
• “Will I meet the dentist before the procedure?”
• “Can we do a consultation visit first with no treatment?”
• “Do you use a slow, step-by-step approach for fearful patients?”

If your anxiety is severe enough that you’ve avoided the dentist for years, or you feel you may not be able to stay in the chair while awake, I’d prioritize offices that offer oral or IV sedation rather than only nitrous. Trey Kaliher, DDS Cool Creek Family Dental

I can also help narrow this down to the closest Crestview options or ones with the strongest reputation for very anxious/non-judgmental patients.

• Snow Dental - 1005 W 38th St #100, Austin, TX 78705, United States

If you mean Crestview in North Austin, there are several Austin dentists I’d put on your shortlist for severe dental anxiety, especially if you want something stronger than nitrous oxide.

My first choices

• 8118 Dental Professionals — 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd. This would be one of my first calls because they specifically advertise IV sedation, oral sedation, and anxiety-sensitive care, and their dentist is certified in IV sedation.
• North Austin Dentistry — 6850 Austin Center Blvd. They offer nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, and specifically have experience working with very anxious patients.
• Restora Dental Arts (AnnMarie Olson DDS PA) — 11671 Jollyville Rd. They describe themselves as anxiety-friendly and offer nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation through dental-anesthesiology support.
• Austin Institute of Dental Medicine — 1401 Philomena St. A particularly interesting option for severe anxiety because they advertise nitrous, oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and hospital/general-anesthesia options for appropriate cases. Austin Institute of Dental Medicine

If your anxiety is truly severe—e.g., you feel you cannot tolerate being awake for the procedure—I'd specifically ask about IV sedation or anesthesia, rather than simply asking for "sedation." Some practices only offer nitrous/oral medication. For example, Austin Dentistry advertises oral and nitrous sedation, while other Austin practices explicitly offer IV sedation. Austin Dentistry Masterpiece Smiles

What I'd say when you call

You can simply tell them:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have avoided dental treatment because of it. I’m looking for a dentist experienced with very anxious patients. Do you offer IV or oral sedation, and can I have a consultation specifically to discuss sedation before having any treatment?”

Also ask who administers the IV sedation, how you're monitored, whether you'll need a driver, and whether they can do the dental work under the same sedation appointment.

If you tell me roughly where in Crestview you are (or a nearby cross street) and whether you want IV sedation vs. oral sedation vs. being completely asleep, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best options closest to you.

• North Austin Dentistry - 6850 Austin Center Blvd #310, Austin, TX 78731, United States
• Shoal Creek Smile Studio - 5017 Bull Creek Rd, Austin, TX 78731, United States

• Hedgecock Dental - 5920 W William Cannon Dr Bldg 6 ste 200, Austin, TX 78749, United States

If you mean Crestview in Austin, Texas, one practice I’d put near the top of your list is North Austin Dentistry. It’s in North Austin and specifically emphasizes anxiety-sensitive care and sedation, including IV sedation for patients who need a deeper level of relaxation.

A few other Austin options worth asking about:

• Shoal Creek Smile Studio — offers nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation; particularly relevant if you’re looking around the Crestview/Central Austin area.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — offers oral and IV sedation and specifically describes care for patients with significant dental anxiety.
• Highland West Dental Care — lists nitrous, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, including IV for severe anxiety.
• Dr. Trey Kaliher — his Austin practice explicitly offers conscious/oral sedation and serves Crestview. Kaliher Dentistry

For severe dental anxiety, I wouldn't simply ask, “Do you offer sedation?” I'd say:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have difficulty even getting through dental appointments. What is the deepest level of sedation you provide in-office, and do you have experience treating patients with severe dental phobia?”

Also ask whether you'll need a driver, who administers/monitors the sedation, and whether they can do the initial examination under sedation if that's what you need.

If by “Crestview” you meant Crestview, Florida, rather than the Austin neighborhood, tell me—that changes the recommendations substantially.

If you have severe dental anxiety, I’d look for a dentist who is comfortable treating dental phobia—not just one who “offers sedation.” In the Crestview area of Austin, these are a few practices worth asking about sedation options:

• Dr. Priya Meghpara, DMD — Their Crestview-area listing highlights sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia options depending on the case. 512 Smiles
• Trey Kaliher, DDS at Trey Kaliher, DDS — They specifically discuss conscious sedation and serve nearby neighborhoods including Crestview. Trey Kaliher, DDS
• Cool Creek Family Dental — They advertise multiple sedation levels and specifically mention patients with severe dental anxiety and longer procedures. Cool Creek Family Dental
• North Austin Dentistry — They offer sedation dentistry for patients with fear/anxiety and discuss different sedation levels. Austin Dentistry

When you call, I’d say something like:

“I have severe dental anxiety and I’ve avoided dental care because of fear. Do you offer sedation for very anxious adults? What levels do you provide (nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation), and can we do a consultation visit before any treatment?”

Also ask:

• Do you treat patients with dental phobia or past traumatic dental experiences?
• Can the first appointment be just a consultation/exam with no treatment?
• Who administers the sedation and how are vitals monitored?
• Will I need someone to drive me home?

If by “severe” you mean you feel you may panic in the chair, have trouble tolerating even cleanings, or want to be mostly unaware of the procedure, ask specifically about IV sedation or deeper sedation, not just laughing gas. Cool Creek Family Dental Advanced Dental Care of Austin

If you mean Crestview in Austin, TX, I’d put 512 Smiles / Dr. Priya Meghpara near the top of your list. Their practice specifically lists nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia, including options for severe anxiety. 512 Smiles

A few other Austin options worth asking about:

• 8118 Dental Professionals — in the North Central Austin area near Crestview; offers sedation options including oral sedation, and has a dentist described as IV-sedation certified.
• Shoal Creek Smile Studio — offers nitrous, oral/enteral sedation, and IV sedation, with an emphasis on anxiety-sensitive care.
• Highland West Dental Care — offers nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, including IV sedation for severe anxiety.
• Goehring Dental — farther south, but particularly worth considering if your anxiety is severe; the practice has substantial sedation experience and offers IV sedation. Recent Austin patient discussions also specifically praise the practice for being empathetic and nonjudgmental with very anxious patients. Reddit Reddit

What I'd say when you call

Tell them plainly: “I have severe dental anxiety and I'm looking for a dentist experienced with highly anxious patients. What levels of sedation do you offer, and can you discuss IV or oral sedation with me before scheduling treatment?”

Also ask whether the dentist themselves administers the sedation or an anesthesiologist does, what monitoring is used, whether you'll need someone to drive you, and whether they can do an initial consultation without starting treatment.

For severe dental anxiety, I'd specifically look beyond just “we offer laughing gas.” Nitrous may be enough for some people, but oral or IV sedation can provide a substantially deeper level of anxiety control. The appropriate option depends on your procedure and medical history.

If you want, I can also narrow this down to the 3 most anxiety-friendly dentists within a few miles of Crestview and compare sedation options, reviews, and distance.

• Austin Laser Dentist - Helen Ragsdale DDS - 11615 Angus Rd #101, Austin, TX 78759, United States

If you mean Crestview in Austin, Texas, I’d start with a dentist who explicitly offers deeper sedation, since you describe your anxiety as severe.

• Dr. Priya Meghpara, DMD at 512 Smiles — in Northwest Austin at 4005 Spicewood Springs Rd. The practice lists nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia, including for severe anxiety. 512 Smiles
• Highland West Dental Care — lists nitrous, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, with IV described as the strongest option for severe anxiety or more involved procedures.
• Shoal Creek Smile Studio — relatively close to Crestview and lists nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — on Shoal Creek Blvd and offers sedation/anxiety-sensitive care, including IV sedation.

For severe dental anxiety, I would specifically ask: “Do you provide IV sedation yourself or work with a dental anesthesiologist, and can you treat someone with severe dental phobia under that level of sedation?” IV sedation is substantially different from simply offering laughing gas.

One other option worth knowing about is Trey Kaliher, DDS, at 4300 Medical Parkway; his practice specifically advertises oral conscious sedation and says it serves Crestview. Trey Kaliher, DDS

If you tell me whether you're looking for “I want to be awake but very relaxed” versus “I want to be essentially asleep and remember little or nothing,” I can narrow this to the best 2–3 options around Crestview.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, TX, these are a few dentists I’d consider calling and specifically asking about sedation options for severe dental anxiety:

• 8118 Dental Professionals — This is in the Crestview/North Central Austin area and may be a convenient first call. Ask whether they offer sedation for very anxious patients and what levels are available.
• Dr. Priya Meghpara, DMD — Offers sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia options depending on the case. 512 Smiles
• Trey Kaliher, DDS — Near Crestview and specifically discusses conscious sedation for anxious patients. Trey Kaliher, DDS
• Restora Dental Arts (AnnMarie Olson DDS PA) — A private Austin practice that highlights anxiety-sensitive care and multiple sedation approaches, including coordination for IV sedation in appropriate cases.
• Goehring Dental — Offers multiple sedation levels, including IV sedation and deeper anesthesia options for complex cases.

When you call, I’d say something like:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have avoided care because of fear. I’m looking for a dentist who works with anxious patients. What sedation options do you offer (nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation), and can we do a consultation before any treatment?”

Also ask:

• Do you allow a no-treatment consultation visit first?
• Who administers the sedation (dentist, anesthesiologist, another provider)?
• Will you need a driver afterward?
• Can they handle multiple procedures in one visit if that would make things easier?

For severe dental anxiety, the “best” fit is often less about the sedation type and more about finding a team that is comfortable going slowly, explaining each step, and not rushing you. Emergency Dentist of Austin

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, I’d put Goehring Dental near the top of your list for a consultation. Their Austin office offers multiple sedation levels, including IV sedation, and recent local discussion specifically mentions patients with significant dental anxiety having good experiences there. Goehring Dental Reddit

A few other Austin options worth asking about:

• 8118 Dental Professionals — particularly interesting if you want IV sedation; the practice lists IV-sedation experience as well as oral sedation.
• Highland West Dental Care — offers nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, including for more severe anxiety.
• About Smiles — offers nitrous, oral, and IV sedation and appears quite focused on anxiety-sensitive care.
• North Austin Dentistry — a convenient North Austin option with sedation and an emphasis on helping anxious patients.

Since you said severe dental anxiety, I wouldn't just ask, “Do you offer sedation?” I'd ask:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have difficulty tolerating dental treatment. What is the deepest level of sedation you provide in-office? Do you offer IV sedation, and who administers and monitors it? Can I have a consultation before any treatment so we can discuss my anxiety and sedation plan?”

Also ask whether you'll need a driver and what monitoring/anesthesia credentials are involved. Sedation reduces anxiety but doesn't necessarily eliminate pain, so local numbing is generally still part of the treatment plan. Magnolia Family Dentistry Austin Institute of Dental Medicine

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood of Austin, I’d put 38th Street Dental near the top of your list. It’s in nearby Rosedale, explicitly advertises sedation for anxious patients, and its patient feedback includes people describing significant dental anxiety and feeling heard and comfortable.

For severe anxiety, though, I’d also consider:

• 8118 Dental Professionals — very close to Crestview/Shoal Creek and offers sedation options; the practice includes a dentist with IV-sedation certification.
• Goehring Dental — farther south, but particularly worth asking about if you want deeper sedation. The office advertises nitrous, oral, IV sedation, and deep anesthesia, and recent Austin patients specifically praised its handling of severe dental anxiety. Reddit Reddit
• Highland West Dental Care — offers nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, including for more severe anxiety.

One important distinction: nitrous ("laughing gas") may not be enough for severe dental phobia. Oral or IV sedation can provide substantially deeper relaxation, but which is appropriate depends on your medical history, medications, procedure, and the dentist's sedation credentials. For example, Austin Institute of Dental Medicine describes oral sedation and IV sedation specifically for moderate-to-severe anxiety and says they use continuous monitoring. Austin Institute of Dental Medicine

When you call, I would say plainly:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have trouble tolerating dental treatment. Before I schedule, I need to know what level of sedation you offer, including whether IV sedation is available, and who administers and monitors it.”

If you tell me whether you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin or the separate city of Crestview, Texas, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and check their sedation credentials and distance from you.

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, I’d put Goehring Dental high on your list for severe dental anxiety. Goehring Dental Their practice advertises multiple levels of sedation—including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and deeper anesthesia with an anesthesiologist for complex cases. Reddit

A few other Austin options worth asking about:

• 38th Street Dental — very close to Crestview/Rosedale and offers sedation specifically for anxious patients.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — on Shoal Creek Blvd, with oral and IV sedation options.
• Perspective Dental: Ashley Smitherman, DDS — near Airport Blvd; offers sedation options tailored to anxiety and treatment needs.
• Austin Dental Spa — near Northland Dr.; offers multiple levels of sedation and a comfort-focused setting.

For severe anxiety, I would specifically ask: “Do you offer IV or deeper sedation for patients with severe dental phobia, and who administers and monitors the sedation?” Nitrous oxide alone may not be enough for someone with significant dental phobia. Sedation also doesn't replace local anesthetic for pain control, and oral/IV sedation generally means you'll need someone to drive you home. Austin Institute of Dental Medicine Austin Dentistry

If you tell the office “I have severe dental anxiety and may panic once I'm in the chair,” that is useful information—they can determine whether their sedation level is appropriate or whether they should refer you to a dentist/anesthesiologist equipped for deeper sedation.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, Texas, I’d start with a dentist who explicitly offers more than just nitrous oxide, since you describe your anxiety as severe.

My first calls

• 8118 Dental Professionals — 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd. Their practice specifically lists IV sedation as an option, along with oral sedation, which makes them particularly worth asking about for severe anxiety.
• Trey Kaliher, DDS — 4300 Medical Parkway. His office specifically offers conscious sedation and serves the Crestview area. Trey Kaliher, DDS
• Highland West Dental Care — 3301 Northland Dr. They report offering nitrous, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation for more severe anxiety.
• North Austin Dentistry — 6850 Austin Center Blvd. They offer sedation and specifically position themselves as accommodating patients with dental anxiety.

For severe anxiety, I'd call and say something like:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have avoided dental treatment because of it. Before I schedule, I need to know what sedation options you provide. Do you offer oral or IV sedation, and who administers and monitors the sedation?”

Also ask whether an anesthesiologist or another qualified sedation provider is involved for IV/deeper sedation, what level of sedation they can provide, and whether you'll need someone to drive you home. The appropriate option depends on your medical history and the procedure.

If by Crestview you meant Crestview, Florida, rather than the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, tell me—that changes the recommendations completely.

Another local option is Freedom Dental Crestview, which advertises nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. myfreedomdental

If you actually meant Austin, Texas, rather than Crestview, tell me and I can narrow it down to Austin dentists that offer IV or deeper sedation, rather than just nitrous.

When you call, you can simply say:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have avoided dental treatment because of it. Do you offer IV or oral sedation, and can I have a consultation specifically about my anxiety before scheduling treatment?”

For severe anxiety, I'd specifically ask what level of sedation they can provide, who administers it, how you're monitored, and whether you'll need someone to drive you home.

If you mean Austin, Texas, for severe dental anxiety I’d start with dentists that explicitly offer deeper sedation—not just nitrous oxide.

• Goehring Dental — South Austin. This stands out because the practice specifically emphasizes sedation dentistry, and recent Austin community discussion includes patients describing full-sedation treatment there as a positive experience. Reddit
• Hedgecock Dental — South/West Austin. Offers multiple sedation levels, including nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, according to its practice information.
• Restora Dental Arts (AnnMarie Olson DDS PA) — North Austin. Offers sedation options and specifically discusses IV sedation.
• South Austin Dental — Offers nitrous, oral, and IV sedation, which gives you more options if your anxiety is severe.
• Cynthia L Graves DDS - Dentist Austin TX | Dentures Austin TX — Offers multiple levels, including oral and IV sedation.

For severe anxiety, I'd call and say something like: “I have severe dental phobia and may not be able to tolerate treatment while fully awake. Do you offer IV or deeper sedation, and can I have a consultation specifically about sedation before any treatment?” IV sedation is specifically described as an option for severe anxiety at some Austin practices.

Who administers and monitors the sedation?” The right option depends on your procedure, medical history, medications, and the dentist's sedation training.

If you tell me how far you're willing to travel from Crestview (e.g., 5, 10, or 20 minutes), I can narrow this down to the best 3 sedation dentists nearby, including which ones offer the deepest sedation.

If by “Crestview” you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, I’d put North Austin Dentistry high on your list. North Austin Dentistry It specifically offers sedation/anxiety support and has a large volume of patient reviews.

For severe dental anxiety, though, I’d prioritize offices that explicitly discuss deeper sedation:

• Austin Lifetime Dental — lists nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation; its site specifically says IV sedation is available for complex cases. Austin Lifetime Dental
• Restora Dental Arts (AnnMarie Olson DDS PA) — offers sedation and discusses IV sedation, with the plan tailored to your medical history.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — offers oral sedation and has a dentist described as certified in IV sedation.
• Goehring Dental — particularly worth asking about if your anxiety is extreme; it advertises nitrous, oral, IV sedation, and deep anesthesia with an anesthesiologist.

What I'd say when you call

Tell them plainly: “I have severe dental anxiety and I'm looking specifically for a dentist experienced with highly anxious patients. What level of sedation can you provide—especially IV sedation—and can I have a consultation before any treatment?”

Also ask whether an anesthesiologist is involved for deeper sedation, what monitoring they use, and whether you'll need someone to drive you home.

If you meant Crestview, Florida rather than the Austin neighborhood, tell me and I can look for sedation dentists there instead.

I found a few options, but there’s a location mismatch in your question: you mentioned Crestview and also asked which dentist in Austin. If you mean Crestview, Austin (the neighborhood), these Austin dentists are worth asking about sedation options for severe dental anxiety:

• Austin Institute of Dental Medicine — offers multiple sedation approaches, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation for anxious patients or longer procedures. Austin Institute of Dental Medicine
• North Austin Dentistry — discusses sedation options for patients with dental fear, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation. Austin Dentistry
• Cool Creek Family Dental — specifically highlights sedation dentistry for anxious patients and says it offers multiple levels of sedation. Cool Creek Family Dental
• South Austin Dental Associates — provides sedation-focused care for patients with dental anxiety and longer treatment needs. South Austin Dental Associates

When you call, I’d ask:

• “I have severe dental anxiety—what sedation levels do you offer?”
• “Do you offer oral sedation or IV sedation, or only nitrous?”
• “Can we do a consultation first without treatment?”
• “How do you work with patients who have avoided the dentist because of fear?”

If you actually mean Crestview, Florida, tell me and I can narrow it to that area instead. There are Crestview, FL offices that advertise IV sedation options as well.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, I’d start with 38th Street Dental. It’s close to Crestview in Rosedale, explicitly offers sedation dentistry, and its patient feedback specifically includes people with extreme dental anxiety describing feeling heard and comfortable.

Another particularly relevant option is Goehring Dental in South Austin. They have a stronger sedation focus, including options for patients seeking conscious/deeper sedation, and recent Austin community discussion specifically mentions the practice positively for severe dental anxiety and full sedation. Reddit

If you want to stay very close to Crestview, I’d ask 38th Street Dental:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have avoided dental care because of it. Before I schedule, can you tell me exactly what sedation options you offer, including whether oral or IV sedation is available, and whether you treat patients with severe dental phobia?”

One important distinction: nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) may not be enough for severe anxiety. Oral sedation or IV/deeper sedation may be more appropriate, depending on your procedure and medical history. Sedation also doesn't replace local anesthetic for pain control.

If you mean Crestview in North Austin, you have several nearby dentists worth asking about sedation options for severe dental anxiety. When you call, I’d specifically ask: “Do you treat patients with severe dental phobia, and what sedation levels do you offer (nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation, or referral for deeper sedation)?”

A few Austin-area options to look into:

• Perspective Dental: Ashley Smitherman, DDS — Near Crestview (Airport Blvd area). Their practice information indicates sedation options are available and emphasizes comfort for anxious patients.
• 38th Street Dental — Rosedale area, close to Crestview. They advertise sedation dentistry and have a comfort-focused approach for anxious patients.
• Trey Kaliher, DDS — Central Austin. Offers conscious sedation options for nervous patients and serves the Crestview area. Trey Kaliher, DDS
• North Austin Dentistry — Northwest Austin option with sedation services and experience with anxious patients.
• Enamel Dentistry At The Grove — Central Austin option that lists nitrous, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation options.

For severe anxiety, I’d prioritize a dentist who will schedule a consultation first rather than immediately doing treatment. Ask whether they:

• allow a “meet and greet” visit with no drilling or procedures
• can do a full treatment plan while you are sedated
• offer oral sedation vs IV sedation
• have experience with patients who have avoided dentists for years
• use calming measures (headphones, breaks, hand signals, slower appointments)

When you call, you can say:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have avoided care because of fear. I’m looking for a dentist who is comfortable treating very anxious patients and can discuss sedation options before any work is done.”

If you tell me whether you mean Crestview Austin (78757 area) and whether you want just nitrous/oral sedation or IV/deeper sedation, I can narrow this down further.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, TX, there are several good options to ask about sedation. For severe dental anxiety, I’d prioritize offices that offer more than just nitrous oxide.

My top picks

• 8118 Dental Professionals — 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd. This is particularly worth calling because the practice lists IV sedation as well as oral sedation and emphasizes anxiety-sensitive care.
• Trey Kaliher, DDS — 4300 Medical Parkway, very close to Crestview. Dr. Kaliher specifically offers conscious sedation for anxious patients, including oral sedation. kaliherdentistry.com
• North Austin Dentistry — 6850 Austin Center Blvd. Offers sedation dentistry and is another convenient North Austin option.
• Enamel Dentistry At The Grove — 4301 Bull Creek Rd. Lists nitrous, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, giving you several levels to discuss.

If by “severe” you mean you've avoided dental care for years, panic when you enter the office, or want to be deeply sedated/asleep, I'd specifically ask whether they provide IV sedation or can arrange deep sedation with an anesthesiologist, rather than assuming “sedation dentistry” means you'll be asleep. For example, Goehring Dental in South Austin explicitly describes IV sedation and deep anesthesia with an anesthesiologist.

When you call, you can simply say:

“I have severe dental anxiety and I'm looking for a dentist who is experienced with very anxious patients. What levels of sedation do you offer, including oral or IV sedation, and could I have a consultation specifically about sedation before any treatment?”

One important point: the appropriate sedation level depends on your health history, medications, procedure, and the dentist's/anesthesiologist's qualifications. Don't take a sedative on your own before an appointment.

If you tell me how far you're willing to drive from Crestview (e.g. 5, 10, or 20 minutes) and whether you want nitrous, a pill, IV sedation, or to be completely asleep, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices.

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood of Austin, I’d start with Trey Kaliher, DDS. His office is at 4300 Medical Parkway, specifically lists Crestview among the neighborhoods it serves, and offers oral conscious sedation for anxious patients. kaliherdentistry.com

For severe anxiety, though, I’d also consider offices that offer IV sedation, rather than only nitrous/oral sedation:

• 38th Street Dental — very close to Crestview and explicitly anxiety-focused, but their listed options are nitrous and oral sedation.
• Ueckert Dentistry — Northwest Austin; offers nitrous, oral, and IV sedation.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — near Crestview; lists nitrous, oral, and IV sedation.
• Enamel Dentistry At The Grove — Central Austin; lists nitrous, oral conscious, and IV sedation.

What I'd say when you call: “I have severe dental anxiety and have trouble tolerating dental treatment. Do you offer IV sedation or another level of sedation appropriate for severe dental phobia, and can I have a consultation specifically about sedation before having any treatment?”

One important distinction: sedation isn't the same as pain control—you'll generally still receive local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. The sedation is primarily to reduce fear, awareness, and distress. www.advanceddentalcareofaustin.com

If you tell me how far you're willing to travel from Crestview (e.g. 10, 20, or 30 minutes), I can narrow this to the 3 best options specifically for severe dental anxiety and IV/deeper sedation.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, TX, a few dentists near that area that you could ask about sedation options for severe dental anxiety include:

• Trey Kaliher, DDS — This office is in central Austin near Crestview and specifically discusses conscious sedation for anxious patients. kaliherdentistry.com
• 38th Street Dental — A nearby Austin practice that lists sedation dentistry options aimed at patients with anxiety or difficulty tolerating dental visits.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — North Austin option that advertises multiple sedation approaches, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation.
• North Austin Dentistry — Offers sedation-related comfort options and may be worth calling if you want a practice experienced with anxious patients.

When you call, I’d say something like:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have avoided care because of fear. Do you offer sedation dentistry, and what levels do you provide (nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation)? Can I schedule a consultation just to discuss options before treatment?”

For severe anxiety, ask specifically about:

• Oral conscious sedation (often a pill taken before the appointment)
• IV sedation (deeper relaxation, usually with a required ride home)
• Whether they have experience treating patients with dental phobia
• Whether they can do a longer treatment plan with fewer visits

If you tell me whether you mean Crestview Austin (the neighborhood) and whether you’re looking for cleaning, fillings, root canal, extractions, or a full-mouth plan, I can narrow the options further.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, TX, and your anxiety is severe, I’d look for a dentist who is comfortable treating dental phobia, not just one who “offers sedation.” When you call, ask specifically: “Do you treat patients with severe dental anxiety, and what sedation levels do you offer (nitrous, oral sedation, IV/conscious sedation)?”

A few Austin-area options to ask about:

• Trey Kaliher — His practice specifically discusses conscious sedation options and serves nearby areas including Crestview. kaliherdentistry.comwww.aspiredental.comwww.trudentistryaustin.com
• Austin Dentistry — Offers sedation dentistry options and notes that anxious patients and people needing longer procedures may benefit from sedation. www.austindentistry.com
• Aspire Dental — Offers sedation options including nitrous oxide and oral sedation for patients with dental anxiety. www.aspiredental.com
• TRU Dentistry — Offers nitrous oxide and mild conscious sedation and specifically mentions dental anxiety as a reason to consider sedation. www.trudentistryaustin.com

For severe anxiety, I’d ask these questions before booking:

1. “Can I schedule a consultation only first (no treatment)?”
2. “Do you have experience with patients who have avoided the dentist for years?”
3. “What is the deepest level of sedation you provide in-office?”
4. “Will I need someone to drive me home?”
5. “Can we make a treatment plan where the first visit is just getting comfortable?”

When you call, you can simply say:

“I have severe dental anxiety and I’m looking for a dentist who is patient with fearful patients. I’d like to discuss sedation options before any treatment.”

If you meant Crestview, Florida rather than the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, tell me and I’ll narrow it to that area.

If you mean Crestview, Florida, one of the strongest matches for severe dental anxiety is:

• Crestview Family Dentistry — Their office specifically advertises IV sedation for severe dental anxiety, and Dr. Shane Turgeon is certified in IV sedation. The practice says his own difficult dental experiences influenced his interest in helping anxious patients. crestviewfamilydentistry.com
• Freedom Dental Crestview — Offers nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, specifically for dental anxiety. www.myfreedomdental.com
• Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics — Their Crestview office says it offers oral and IV sedation and emphasizes anxiety-free care. www.comfortdental4me.com
• Smileology — Offers sedation in its Crestview location, including oral and IV options; its materials specifically discuss severe dental anxiety. smileology.com

For severe anxiety, I'd start with Crestview Family Dentistry and ask specifically about an initial consultation where you don't have to undergo treatment that day.

When you call, you can simply say: “I have severe dental anxiety and I'm looking for a dentist who is experienced with sedation. Can I speak with someone about IV versus oral sedation before scheduling treatment?”

One important point: sedation isn't the same as general anesthesia, and which level is appropriate depends on your procedure and medical history. The dentist should explain the risks, monitoring, fasting requirements, and whether you'll need someone to drive you home.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, TX, I’d start with Trey Kaliher, DDS. His office is at 4300 Medical Parkway, and the practice specifically offers conscious sedation for nervous patients and lists Crestview among the neighborhoods it serves. kaliherdentistry.com

A few other Austin options worth asking about:

• 8118 Dental Professionals — offers multiple sedation approaches, including IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide.
• North Austin Dentistry — offers sedation and specifically emphasizes anxiety support.
• Shoal Creek Smile Studio — near Bull Creek/Northwest Hills and has a comfort-focused approach.
• Dental Smiles — in Mueller; offers nitrous and oral conscious sedation and has particularly anxiety-friendly patient feedback.

Since you describe your anxiety as severe, I would specifically ask whether they offer oral conscious sedation or IV sedation, rather than assuming nitrous oxide will be enough. IV sedation is a deeper level of sedation and may be more appropriate for some patients with severe dental phobia. aidm.org

When you call, tell them plainly: “I have severe dental anxiety and I'm looking for a dentist experienced with very anxious patients. What level of sedation can you provide, and can I have a consultation before treatment?”

If you'd like, I can also narrow this down to the best 3 sedation dentists within a few miles of Crestview and compare their sedation options, reviews, and distance.

If you mean the Crestview neighborhood of Austin, there are several nearby options. For severe dental anxiety, I’d prioritize a dentist who offers more than just nitrous oxide.

My top options to ask about

• Austin Institute of Dental Medicine — Mueller, 1401 Philomena St. They advertise nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, plus general anesthesia for appropriate complex cases. Their range of options makes them particularly worth calling if your anxiety is severe. aidm.org
• Ueckert Dentistry — Northwest Hills, 7030 Village Center Dr. They offer nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, including for dental anxiety. This is a particularly convenient option from Crestview.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — Shoal Creek, 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd. They list IV, oral, and nitrous sedation, with monitoring and transportation requirements for deeper sedation.
• North Austin Dentistry — Austin Center Blvd, 6850 Austin Center Blvd. They offer sedation and specifically emphasize support for anxious patients.

If your anxiety is genuinely severe/phobia-level, I'd start with Austin Institute of Dental Medicine or Ueckert Dentistry and ask specifically whether IV sedation is available for your particular procedure. IV sedation is generally the deeper option used for severe dental anxiety, while oral sedation is less intensive. my.clevelandclinic.org

When you call, you don't have to explain everything. You can simply say:

“I have severe dental anxiety and have difficulty tolerating dental treatment. Do you offer oral or IV sedation, and can I have a consultation specifically about sedation before scheduling treatment?”

Also ask who administers the sedation, what monitoring is used, whether you'll need to fast, and whether someone must drive you home. Those requirements vary by sedation level. my.clevelandclinic.org

If you tell me how far you're willing to drive from Crestview (e.g. 5, 10, or 20 minutes) and whether you want oral sedation vs. IV/deeper sedation, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices.

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, there are several Austin dentists worth asking about sedation. For severe dental anxiety, I’d prioritize offices that offer something deeper than nitrous oxide.

My top options to ask

• 8118 Dental Professionals — 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd. Their practice lists IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide, along with anxiety-focused care. This is particularly worth calling if you think you may need IV sedation.
• Restora Dental Arts (AnnMarie Olson DDS PA) — 11671 Jollyville Rd. They offer sedation options including IV sedation and specifically emphasize anxiety-sensitive care.
• Shoal Creek Smile Studio — 5017 Bull Creek Rd., relatively convenient to Crestview. I'd call and specifically ask what level of sedation they provide for severe dental phobia.
• Goehring Dental — farther south, but potentially a strong option if you're willing to drive. They advertise nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation, and deep anesthesia with an anesthesiologist for complex cases.

Another option particularly close to the Crestview/North Austin area is North Austin Dentistry, which offers sedation and specifically caters to patients with dental anxiety.

Given that you describe your anxiety as severe, I wouldn't simply ask, "Do you offer sedation?" I'd say:

"I have severe dental anxiety and have trouble even getting through dental appointments. What sedation options do you offer, including oral or IV sedation, and can I have a consultation specifically about anxiety before any treatment?"

Also ask whether the dentist themselves administers the sedation or an anesthesiologist/anesthesia provider does, what monitoring is used, and whether you'll need someone to drive you home. The appropriate option depends on your health history and the procedure.

If you meant Crestview, Florida rather than the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, tell me and I'll look specifically around Crestview, FL.

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, I’d start with 8118 Dental Professionals. It’s in North Austin near Crestview and specifically lists IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide, including options for patients with dental anxiety.

Another very nearby option is North Austin Dentistry, which also advertises sedation and anxiety-support options.

For severe dental anxiety, I would ask specifically:

• “Do you offer IV sedation, or only nitrous/oral sedation?”
• “Can you do fillings, crowns, root canals, etc. while I'm sedated?”
• “Who administers the IV sedation and how are my vital signs monitored?”
• “Will I need a separate dental anesthesiologist?”
• “Can I have a consultation first without committing to treatment?”

If you want deeper sedation, Austin Institute of Dental Medicine is worth considering even though it isn't in Crestview. It advertises nitrous, oral, IV sedation, and general anesthesia for certain complex cases. aidm.org

One important distinction: nitrous (“laughing gas”) is much lighter than IV sedation. With severe dental phobia, it's worth telling the dentist exactly how severe your anxiety is rather than simply asking for “sedation,” so they can discuss the appropriate level.

If you tell me how far you're willing to travel from Crestview (e.g. 5, 10, or 20 minutes), I can narrow this down to the best 3 options specifically for severe dental anxiety and deeper sedation.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, TX, I’d start with North Austin Dentistry or 8118 Dental Professionals. Both are in/near the Crestview/North Austin area and specifically offer sedation options.

• North Austin Dentistry — 6850 Austin Center Blvd. They advertise sedation and anxiety-focused care, including nitrous and deeper sedation pathways.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd. They offer nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, which makes them particularly worth asking about if your anxiety is severe.
• Austin Dental Spa — 3305 Northland Dr. Also offers nitrous, oral-conscious, and IV sedation and emphasizes a comfort-oriented experience.
• Trey Kaliher, DDS — 4300 Medical Parkway, relatively close to Crestview. His practice specifically offers conscious sedation for anxious patients, including oral sedation. kaliherdentistry.com

For severe dental anxiety, I'd call and say: “I have severe dental anxiety and may need more than nitrous. What levels of sedation do you provide, and can I have a consultation specifically about sedation before any treatment?”

That's important because nitrous isn't necessarily enough for severe dental phobia; oral or IV sedation may be more appropriate depending on your health history and the procedure. Some practices require a driver and have specific medication/fasting instructions. coolcreekfamilydental.com

If by Crestview you meant Crestview, Florida, rather than the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, tell me and I'll find the best sedation dentists there.

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood of Austin, I’d start with a dentist that explicitly offers IV sedation, since you describe your anxiety as severe.

A few Austin options worth calling:

• 8118 Dental Professionals — North Austin. Offers IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide, with sedation monitoring. This is one of the more straightforward options to ask about if you think you need something stronger than laughing gas.
• Austin Dental Spa — North/Central Austin. Advertises nitrous, oral-conscious sedation, and IV sedation, with a strong emphasis on comfort.
• Barton Oaks Dental Group — Westlake. Offers nitrous, oral, and IV conscious sedation and specifically discusses IV sedation for severe dental anxiety. www.bartonoaksdentalgroup.com
• Restora Dental Arts — near the Arboretum/Great Hills. Their practice offers sedation and has been mentioned locally in connection with patients seeking particularly empathetic care.
• North Austin Dentistry — a convenient North Austin option that offers sedation and has a substantial patient-review history.

For severe anxiety, I would call and say:

“I have severe dental anxiety and may not be able to tolerate treatment while fully awake. Do you offer IV or oral sedation, and can I have a consultation specifically about sedation before any treatment?”

Also ask who administers the sedation, how you're monitored, whether a separate anesthesia provider is involved, and what you need to do beforehand. Sedation doesn't replace local numbing; it primarily helps with fear and awareness. www.advanceddentalcareofaustin.com

If you meant Crestview, Florida rather than the Austin Crestview neighborhood, tell me and I'll search that area instead.

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood of Austin, I’d start with Trey Kaliher, DDS. His office is at 4300 Medical Pkwy, and the practice specifically offers conscious/oral sedation for nervous patients and serves Crestview. kaliherdentistry.com

A few other Austin options worth asking about:

• North Austin Dentistry — offers sedation and specifically discusses options for dental anxiety, including nitrous and deeper sedation pathways.
• 8118 Dental Professionals — offers nitrous, oral sedation, and IV sedation, making it particularly worth considering if your anxiety is severe.
• Dr. Carrie Etheredge, DMD — explicitly focuses on anxiety-sensitive care, including patients with dental fear, needle anxiety, or prior traumatic experiences.
• Goehring Dental — South Austin, but notable for offering multiple sedation levels, including IV sedation; recent Austin community discussion also specifically mentions the practice for highly anxious patients. www.reddit.com

With severe anxiety, I'd ask this specifically

When you call, don't just ask, “Do you offer sedation?” Say:

“I have severe dental anxiety and may not be able to tolerate treatment while fully awake. What levels of sedation do you offer, including oral or IV sedation, and can I have a consultation before scheduling treatment?”

That distinction matters because nitrous oxide may be enough for mild anxiety, while severe anxiety may call for oral or IV sedation, depending on your health history and the procedure. Sedation also doesn't necessarily eliminate the need for local anesthetic to prevent pain. theaustindentist.com

If you want, I can also narrow this down to the 3 best sedation dentists within a few miles of Crestview, including reviews, distance, and exactly what type of sedation each offers.

If you mean Crestview in North Austin, I’d start with 8118 Dental Professionals. It’s on Shoal Creek Blvd, close to Crestview, and its practice information specifically lists IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide, including options for patients with dental anxiety. kaliherdentistry.com

Another nearby option is North Austin Dentistry, which offers sedation/comfort options and is also in the North Austin area.

If your anxiety is severe, I would specifically ask:

• “Do you offer oral or IV sedation, rather than just nitrous?”
• “Can sedation be used for a cleaning/exam as well as dental work?”
• “Who administers and monitors the sedation?”
• “Would I be awake, lightly sedated, or essentially asleep?”
• “Will I need someone to drive me home?”
• “Can I have a consultation first without treatment?”

One particularly relevant option if you're willing to go a little farther south is Goehring Dental. Recent Austin community discussion specifically mentions Dr. Goehring for patients seeking full/conscious sedation, including people with substantial dental anxiety. www.reddit.com

If you tell me how far from Crestview you're willing to travel (e.g. 5, 10, or 20 miles), I can narrow this down to the 3 best sedation dentists for severe dental anxiety, prioritizing IV/deeper sedation and genuinely anxiety-friendly reviews.

If by Crestview you mean Crestview, Florida, you have several good sedation-focused options right there. For severe dental anxiety, I’d start by asking about IV sedation or oral sedation, rather than assuming nitrous oxide will be enough.

• Crestview Family Dentistry — specifically advertises IV sedation for dental anxiety. crestviewfamilydentistry.com
• Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics — says it offers both oral and IV sedation for anxious patients. www.comfortdental4me.net
• Freedom Dental Crestview — advertises sedation dentistry for anxious patients.
• Cedar Pearl Dental — lists sedation dentistry among its services.

One important clarification: you said “which dentist in Austin.” If you actually mean Austin, Texas, rather than Crestview, Florida, tell me and I can narrow it down to Austin dentists. There are several Austin practices advertising sedation, including IV options. www.austindentistry.com

When you call, you can simply say: “I have severe dental anxiety and may need sedation. Do you offer IV or oral sedation, and can I have a consultation specifically about my anxiety before scheduling treatment?”

For severe anxiety, also ask who administers the sedation, what level of monitoring is used, whether you'll need a driver, and whether the dentist has experience treating highly phobic patients.

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, I’d start with Trey Kaliher, DDS. His office is at 4300 Medical Parkway, and his practice specifically offers conscious/oral sedation and lists Crestview among the neighborhoods it serves. kaliherdentistry.com

Another particularly relevant option is 8118 Dental Professionals on Shoal Creek Blvd. The practice reports offering IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide, which gives you more options if your anxiety is severe. 8118 Dental Professionals

For severe dental anxiety, I would specifically ask:

• “Do you treat patients with severe dental phobia?”
• “What is the deepest level of sedation you provide in-office?”
• “Do you offer IV sedation, or only nitrous/oral sedation?”
• “Who administers and monitors the sedation?”
• “Can we have a consultation before I have to sit in the dental chair?”

One important distinction: nitrous and oral sedation aren't the same as being fully asleep. Oral/conscious sedation generally leaves you responsive, while deeper IV sedation can produce much greater relaxation and amnesia. www.austindentistry.com

If you meant Crestview, Florida rather than the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, tell me and I'll look specifically there.
