Comfortable Oral Care with Sedation Dentistry
Dr. Greg Phillips has incorporated several highly effective sedation options into his practice for patients with dental phobia, including oral conscious and intravenous (IV) sedation. Using these sedation dentistry techniques at our LaPlace, LA-area practice, patients can remain at ease during treatment and receive the oral care they deserve in a relaxing environment.

Relax during Your Visit to the Dentist
When it comes to sedation dentistry, Dr. Greg S. Phillips offers oral sedation to help patients relax during their dental procedures. Patients who undergo oral sedation take a pill the night before their procedure and the morning of their appointment. They arrive fully relaxed and are able to safely and comfortably receive the dentistry they need.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a safe and cost-effective alternative to IV sedation. Patients who choose oral sedation can rest through their entire appointment. During treatment, patients will be able to speak and respond to commands, but when they leave the office they will have little or no memory of the procedure. The effects will wear off in a few hours, and patients can return to their normal routine as soon as they feel ready.
