Dr. Ho,

Man, you’re awesome.

As a new patient from out of state, the office visit made me feel right at home. The dentist and technician worked well together to address my dental needs. I received a thorough checkup and cleaning. They’re upbeat and attentive attitudes will keep me a patient for years to come.

Dr. Ho,

Man, you’re awesome.

I recently visited Dr. Jongwook Lee and had a great experience. Dr. Lee is incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every step of my procedure, which really put me at ease. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. If you’re looking for a dentist who combines expertise with a gentle touch, I highly recommend Dr. Lee!

Thank you again!

I always feel nervous every time going to the dentist, even just for check up and cleaning. But with Dr. Son I totally don’t have to count down for the process to be done 😊 She’s kind, gentle and very patient. The clinic is very clean. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing staff ! Everyone was so nice and very attentive, I was able to book all 3 of my kiddos on the same day and have them all worked on simultaneously, location was 5mins away from home so that was a plus ! It was my son’s first time at the dentist and they made him so comfortable and explained every step to him so he doesn’t feel scared he did so great for the first time ! I would definitely recommend this location !

I have been going to Q dental for over 15 years. Always great caring service. The hygienist is awesome. The doctors are great as well. Would highly recommend them.

Rebecca D

Hands down the best dental office I've been to in years. The staff is friendly and professional. They treated me with care and kindness. The doctor went over my X-rays and developed a treatment plan that works for both of us. When it was all said and done, they made sure my insurance would cover the extra costs before proceeding with the treatment. I will definitely be making this office mine for years to come. Or, as long as Iive in Humble.

The place is tidy, clean, and spacious. The patient coordinator was awesome and helped me with everything, including payment and insurance. The dental hygienist was welcoming, friendly, and did a great job. Dr. Ho was also welcoming, kind, and reassuring and looked at everything from my teeth to gums to my wisdom teeth throughout the visit. Overall, I had a great experience! Also everything was done quick and fast. I highly recommend.

Questions Atascocita Dental Patients Ask About Nitrous Oxide

What is nitrous oxide, and will it put the patient to sleep?

Nitrous oxide is a gas mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a nasal mask to help patients relax. During its use as mild dental sedation, patients generally remain awake and responsive. It is different from general anesthesia.

How quickly does nitrous oxide take effect and wear off?

Its effects generally begin within minutes and resolve relatively quickly after administration ends. Oxygen is commonly provided during recovery. Q Dental assesses the patient before discharge and explains any remaining restrictions.

Can a patient drive home after nitrous oxide?

When nitrous oxide is the only sedating medication used, many patients recover sufficiently to leave without a driver. However, transportation should be confirmed with Q Dental beforehand. The patient’s recovery, other medications, and procedure may affect the instructions.

Can children receive nitrous oxide?

Nitrous oxide may be appropriate for some children who need help tolerating dental treatment. Candidacy depends on health history, the ability to accept the nasal mask and breathe through the nose, and the planned procedure. Q Dental evaluates these factors and monitors the child’s response.

Are there side effects or reasons nitrous oxide may not be suitable?

Temporary nausea, dizziness, or other unpleasant sensations can occur. Certain medical conditions, vitamin B12-related concerns, pregnancy, or nasal congestion may affect suitability. Patients should share their complete health history so our dentist can recommend an appropriate comfort plan.
