IV Sedation Dentistry
IV sedation helps you get through what feels too big.
You’re not afraid of the work—you’re afraid of getting through it. The sounds, the hours, the way it all builds up. Maybe you’ve tried to push through before. Maybe you’ve walked out.
IV sedation is for those moments. It doesn’t knock you out. It quiets things down. You’re still breathing on your own, still aware enough to respond—but the weight lifts. The panic backs off. You make it through. care measures.
Not unconscious. Just not overwhelmed.
With IV sedation, calming medication flows through a small tube in your hand or arm. It kicks in fast—and your team can adjust the dosage while you’re being treated. That flexibility makes it ideal for longer, more involved procedures.
You might be a candidate if:
• You’ve struggled with anxiety at the dentist
• You need work that takes more time
• You gag easily or flinch at certain sounds
• You’ve had trouble with freezing or numbing in the past
The goal isn’t to sleep through it. It’s to stay present without panic—and walk out feeling proud of yourself.
We’re with you—from the first moment to the last.
Before anything begins, your health history is reviewed. You’ll get clear instructions about food, medications, and how to prepare.
On the day of your appointment:
• A gentle IV is placed in your arm or hand
• The medication begins—and the tension fades
• You’re monitored the entire time, closely and carefully
• Someone you trust will take you home afterward
Most people don’t remember the appointment. But they do remember feeling safe.
