Our practice offers IV sedation to help even the most anxious patients relax and receive the care they need because we believe no one should have to put off important dental treatment due to discomfort.
What Is IV Sedation Dentistry?
An IV sedation dentist uses medication delivered directly into your bloodstream to help you relax deeply during dental procedures. Unlike oral sedation or nitrous oxide, IV sedation allows your dentist to adjust the level of medication throughout your visit, providing a calm and safe experience that many describe as similar to a light sleep. This option is ideal for those who have moderate to severe dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex or difficulty getting numb. It also allows for the completion of complex or lengthy dental work in a single appointment. One patient shared, “I always hated going to the dentist, but Dr. Hayes and his staff made me feel so comfortable. IV sedation was a game-changer for me. I barely remember the procedure and felt no anxiety at all.”
