If going to the dentist makes you feel nervous, you are not alone. Many people avoid dental care because of fear or anxiety. At the office of Jaline Boccuzzi D.M.D., A.A.A.C.D., P.A., we offer IV sedation, which is a safe and effective way to help you feel completely relaxed during your visit.
What Is IV Sedation?
IV sedation uses a calming medication given through a small IV in your arm or hand. Within minutes, you’ll feel deeply relaxed and worry-free. Most patients describe it as drifting in and out of a light dreamlike state.
Why Choose IV Sedation?
Make it a comfortable and effortless experience on your part. You can get the care you need without fear or worry.
Time goes by quickly. Long or complex treatments feel short and easy.
Fewer visits. Because you’re relaxed, we can often complete more treatment in one appointment.
Helpful for sensitive patients, especially for those with a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still or controlling their movements.
What To Expect During IV Sedation?
With IV sedation, your dental visits do not have to be a stressfull experience. You can get the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve, comfortably and confidently.
While you are relaxing in the chair during IV sedation, you may feel so relaxed that you fall asleep. Our team and trained anesthesiologist continuously monitor your breathing, heart rate, and oxygen levels. The sedation is tailored to your needs and can be adjusted at any time by our team, who is specially trained and equipped for your comfort and safety.
After your appointment, the effects of IV sedation wear off gradually, typically within a few hours. The medications used during your treatment, create an amnesia effect, which means you will not have any memory of the procedure during your treatment - perfect for dental anxiety.
Relax. Smile. You’re in expert hands.
