Conquer Dental Anxiety With IV Sedation

Does the thought of dental procedures fill you with dread? Many of our patients experience dental anxiety, which often prevents them from getting the periodontal care they need. What if you could experience dental treatments in a completely relaxed and comfortable state? We offer IV sedation as a safe and effective way to alleviate your anxiety and give you a positive experience with our team.

Understanding IV Sedation

IV sedation, also known as intravenous sedation, is carefully administered by our team as a carefully controlled sedative that is dosed directly into your bloodstream. This allows you to enter a deeply relaxed state to help you minimize discomfort and anxiety. There are a few reasons for why IV sedation might be the best option for you. You might be undergoing oral surgery or an incredibly complicated procedure and would rather be asleep for it. We may also recommend this sedative if you’re not able to sit still or relax for your treatment.

We prioritize your comfort and safety throughout the entire IV sedation process:

Before Your Procedure: Before receiving IV sedation, you’ll have a comprehensive consultation where we'll review your medical history, any current medication you are taking, and any concerns you may have. This helps us tailor a sedation solution specific to your needs. 

During Your Procedure: When you visit our practice for your procedure, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and soothing environment. Our team will gently administer your sedative medication through a small IV which will help you quickly enter a state of deep relaxation. Throughout the procedure, you’ll be closely monitored by our team.

After Your Procedure: When your procedure is done, we’ll gradually awaken you from your sedation and move you to our comfortable recovery area. 

Do you...

• Experience moderate to severe dental anxiety or phobia?
• Have a strong gag reflex?
• Require extensive dental work or multiple procedures in one visit?
• Have difficulty getting numb with local anesthetic?

Most of the patients coming into our office are good candidates for IV sedation. However, when you're here, we will review all your health and medical history before suggesting any type of sedative. If you know that you're not able to undergo sedation, it's important to tell us this during your appointment. IV sedation can be used on both children and adult patients who may need it.

Investing in your periodontal health is an investment in your smile as a whole. With IV sedation, we give our patients the opportunity to make this investment easier and more comfortable. With IV sedation, you can relax comfortably while we restore your gum health. Schedule a consultation to discuss if IV sedation is right for you and take the first step towards a healthier, happier smile.
