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

Our Compassionate Approach to IV Sedation Dentistry

From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel the difference. We take the time to listen to your concerns and create a plan that truly works for you. You’ll find a judgment-free environment where it doesn’t matter how long it’s been since your last visit. With advanced training in IV sedation and strict safety protocols, you can relax knowing you’re in expert hands. Using a dentist with sedation training means we can safely complete multiple or complex treatments in one visit, saving you time and minimizing your discomfort. We also understand that some patients may have a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still during dental procedures.
