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. Our IV sedation dentists at our Longview, Tyler & Shreveport offices will administer a sedative through an IV, providing quick and effective relaxation. This method is particularly helpful for patients who experience fear or anxiety when visiting the dentist. Having a dentist with sedation training allows us to offer this treatment option to our patients who need it.
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
