Our Sedation Options in Lubbock Make Appointments Easier
We are an opioid- and narcotic-free practice. As a father himself, Dr. Everett does not feel it’s necessary to administer opioids and narcotics such as fentanyl or propofol to you or your child. This is even more important with the rise in the opioid epidemic afflicting our nation.

A solution for everyone’s care Enjoy Worry-Free Dentistry With Sedation
Whether you are getting an implant placement or another oral surgery procedure, you have no reason to feel nervous while you are with us. Taking advantage of our sedation options can make your treatment less stressful and easier to get through.
Our options include:
- Laughing Gas Sedation – This fast-acting form of sedation gives you a sense of calm when you breathe it in through a mask. It doesn’t have any lingering effects. So unlike our other forms of sedation, you won’t feel groggy.
- Oral Sedative – If you feel particularly anxious about a procedure, we can prescribe a small pill for you to take before your appointment.
- IV Sedation – This is most commonly used for oral surgery procedures. It will give you a sense of calm throughout your time with us.
If you receive IV or oral sedation, you will need to arrange for a ride home after your procedure. You will likely have a lingering grogginess that limits your ability to drive.
In addition to our sedation, we also have comforting amenities like blankets and pillows. You can also listen to music or watch TV using headphones to block out the sounds around you.
