For a light level of sedation that is appropriate even for children, Dr. Hawkins can use a relaxing gas. You receive it through a small mask worn over your nose. It creates a euphoric feeling, but you can still hear everything and respond easily to questions. It also:
For a deeper level of relaxation, Dr. Hawkins can place a sedative in powdered form under your tongue. It requires about 30 minutes to take effect. You’ll feel sleepy, although you’ll still be able to react. Dr. Hawkins sometimes uses an oral sedative with an inhaled sedative.

The Hawkins Dental staff are amazing! The hospitality and care they take in ALL they do is second to none! Dr. Hawkins and staff are professional, friendly, informative, calming and thorough.

I highly recommend Hawkins to anyone looking for professional, friendly and affordable dental services.
In the words of my friend Darel, Dr. Hawkins is “real”. I think what he means is that the man is honest, informative, thorough and most of all genuine. I have already been praising his work and shall continue. Dr. Hawkins and the whole staff are totally professional and very polite. Thank you all! A special thanks to Korie and Nicole for your work and making me comfortable as possible
My husband & I had a wonderful experience at Dr Hawkins office yesterday. He has a wonderful TEAM of helpers. They are all very educated in the practice & work as a TEAM! We can’t say enough about their customer service, patience, cleanliness, & care. Our local Dentist is “very impressed” with all the work Dr Hawkins has done for us! Dr Hawkins even called from his home last night to see how we were doing!
The staff was very friendly. Dr. Hawkins was so very nice. I hadn’t been to the dentist in like 5 years because of a bad experience and Dr. Hawkins staff members were amazing and really put my mind at ease when cleaning my teeth didn’t hurt all thank you all so much.
The whole experience at Hawkins was great. They got me into my appointment right on time. Jessie did a great job with the xrays and cleaning my teeth. Dr Hawkins was very professional and genuinely friendly. My family has been coming to Hawkins for close to 15 years and they just get better every year.
I was very happy with my visit to Dr. Hawkins’ s office. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and Dr. Hawkins was also friendly and easy to talk to. He took time to listen to my history and any problems I was having , and was able to put my mind at ease about information I’d gotten from another dentist regarding a very expensive dental procedure. Dr Hawkins’ exam showed no need for this procedure, and he suggested several options for a different problem that I did need some work with. I have nothing but good to say about my visit and the friendliness and professionalism of everyone in the office.
My family has gone to Dr. Hawkins for five years or so now and we love it there. All of the staff, including Dr. Hawkins, are always very personable and caring when it comes to their patients. We’ve also never had a problem with the work they do and we’ve had everything done from cleanings to braces. Highly recommend!
At Hawkins Complete Dental Service, patients have three different sedation options to suit all levels of dental anxiety. Inhaled sedation (laughing gas) is safe for all ages, takes immediate effect, and wears off quickly. Oral sedation in powder form placed under the tongue is great for moderate dental anxiety and longer treatments. You can choose IV sedation, the strongest option that induces deep relaxation, to soothe your severe dental anxiety.
Because of his training and experience, Dr. Hawkins can safely administer the dental sedation that’s best for you, whether you just want enough to take the edge off or you’re deeply distressed about your dental treatment. You can talk to Dr. Hawkins about your fears and concerns so you can decide which of our three sedation methods would be most helpful in making you feel relaxed and comfortable during your procedure. We will closely monitor sedation levels throughout treatment to ensure your safety.
Dental sedation for certain procedures is at least partially covered by many insurance plans. You will need to talk to your dental insurance provider to find out more about your specific coverage, and we will be happy to assist you further in figuring out the most affordable way to maximize your comfort with dental sedation. For your convenience, we accept LendingClub and CareCredit in addition to dental insurance.
