What is Dental IV Sedation?

IV (intravenous) sedation is a safe and effective form of conscious sedation administered directly into your bloodstream. Because the medication works quickly and can be adjusted throughout your appointment, it provides a deeper level of relaxation while still allowing you to respond to instructions from your dental team.

Many patients feel as though they slept through their procedure and remember very little afterward, making IV sedation an excellent option for those with dental anxiety.
