What Is IV Sedation Dentistry?
IV sedation (intravenous sedation) is a form of conscious sedation that helps patients feel completely relaxed during their dental procedure. Unlike general anesthesia, you remain awake but deeply relaxed, with little to no memory of the treatment.
✔ Fast-Acting & Customizable – Works quickly and can be adjusted for deeper relaxation
✔ Pain-Free Experience – Ensures a stress-free visit for even the most anxious patients
✔ Little to No Memory – Most patients don’t recall the procedure at all
✔ Ideal for Complex Procedures – Helps patients stay comfortable during longer treatments
Who Benefits from IV Sedation?
IV sedation is ideal for those who:
✔ Experience severe dental anxiety or phobia
✔ Have had past traumatic dental experiences
✔ Require multiple or complex treatments in one visit
✔ Have a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still
✔ Feel anxious about numbing injections or dental instruments
At Texas Sedation Dental & Implant Center, we have in-house CRNAs (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists), ensuring expert monitoring and care throughout your treatment.
