Oral Conscious Sedation
Experience Comfortable Treatment with Oral Sedation
Oral conscious sedation offers a safe, effective way to help patients feel deeply relaxed during dental treatment while still remaining awake and responsive. Taken as a prescribed pill before your appointment, this form of sedation reduces anxiety, increases comfort, and allows patients to undergo care with a calm, peaceful mindset.
At Holley Dental Group, oral conscious sedation is especially helpful for those who experience moderate dental anxiety, have trouble sitting still for extended periods, or require multiple treatments in a single visit. Our team carefully evaluates your needs, provides detailed instructions, and ensures your experience is both comfortable and fully supported.

How Oral Conscious Sedation Can Improve Your Dental Experience
This sedation option offers a stronger level of relaxation than nitrous oxide but does not require IV administration, making it an excellent middle-ground choice for patients who want additional comfort. While you remain awake, many patients feel so relaxed that they remember little of the procedure afterward. Because the effects last several hours, a companion is required to drive you to and from your appointment.
Benefits of oral conscious sedation include:
Enhanced Relaxation – Helps calm nerves and create a sense of comfort before and during your visit.
Easy to Use – Taken as a simple pill prior to treatment, with no needles or complex setup required.
Ideal for Moderate Anxiety – Provides deeper relaxation than nitrous oxide for patients who need more support.
Fewer Appointments – Allows multiple treatments to be completed in a single visit.
Reduced Memory of Procedure – Many patients feel relaxed enough that they remember very little afterward.
Safe & Monitored – Your comfort and safety are closely supervised throughout your entire appointment.
