IV Sedation
Dentistry.

Dental anxiety shouldn't stop you from getting the care you need. IV sedation delivers a safe, deeply relaxed state so you can complete even complex procedures comfortably — with little to no memory of the experience.

Deep Relaxation,
Complete Comfort.

IV sedation — also called "twilight sedation" — delivers sedative medication directly into the bloodstream through a small IV line. Unlike oral sedation, IV sedation takes effect within seconds and can be precisely adjusted throughout the procedure to maintain just the right level of relaxation.

You remain in a sleep-like state: deeply relaxed, unaware of the procedure, and with little to no memory of it afterward. You breathe on your own, and our team monitors your vitals continuously. It is the gold standard for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or those undergoing lengthy surgical procedures.

  • Works within seconds — no waiting for a pill to kick in
  • Dosage adjustable in real time for precise comfort
  • Little to no memory of the procedure

IV Sedation Is Ideal
For These Patients.

Dental Anxiety

If fear or past trauma keeps you from the dentist, IV sedation removes the barrier entirely — letting you get care you've been putting off for years.

Multiple Procedures at Once

IV sedation lets us complete what would normally require several appointments in a single visit — less time, less stress, faster results.

Strong Gag Reflex

A sensitive gag reflex makes routine dental work difficult. Under IV sedation, this reflex is suppressed, making treatment smooth and comfortable.

Complex Oral Surgery

For wisdom teeth removal, implant placement, or other surgical procedures, IV sedation ensures you feel nothing and remember nothing.

What Happens
On the Day of Your Procedure.

You'll arrive fasted (nothing to eat or drink for 6–8 hours beforehand) and bring a responsible adult to drive you home. Once seated, a small IV line is placed — most patients barely feel it. Sedation takes effect within seconds, and from that point, you simply relax while we work.

After the procedure, you'll be monitored in our recovery area until fully alert. Most patients feel groggy for the remainder of the day, so plan for a restful afternoon. The following morning, the vast majority feel completely normal.

  • Fast 6–8 hours before your appointment
  • Bring a driver — you cannot drive afterward
  • Most patients feel normal by the next morning
