If dental anxiety, fear, or discomfort has kept you from getting the care you need, IV sedation may be the solution. At Greenwood Dental Associates, we offer safe and effective IV sedation to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. Whether you need extensive dental work or simply want a pain-free experience, our experienced team is here to ensure a smooth and stress-free visit.
IV sedation, also known as intravenous sedation, is a form of conscious sedation administered through a small IV line in your arm. This method allows for deep relaxation while you remain responsive to verbal cues. Unlike general anesthesia, IV sedation keeps you in a semi-conscious state, meaning you can still breathe on your own without the need for a ventilator. This type of sedation is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or those undergoing lengthy procedures.
IV sedation is a great option for patients who: • Experience severe dental anxiety or fear • Have a low pain threshold or sensitivity to dental procedures • Need extensive dental treatments in one visit • Have a strong gag reflex that makes treatment difficult • Struggle to sit still for long periods due to medical or psychological conditions If you’re unsure whether IV sedation is the right choice for you, our team at Greenwood Dental Associates will evaluate your medical history and treatment needs to determine the best sedation option.
Don’t let fear or anxiety keep you from achieving a healthy, beautiful smile. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or to learn more about how IV sedation can transform your dental experience!
