IV Sedation in Durham, NC

The Power of IV Sedation: A Soothing Dental Solution

Have you ever delayed dental treatments due to anxiety? IV Sedation could be the answer you’re searching for. This advanced, deeper sedation alternative allows patients to undergo dental procedures with minimal discomfort while remembering little to nothing about their experience.

IV Sedation, also known as intravenous sedation, is administered through a small tube placed in your arm or hand. Since the sedative medication is delivered directly into your bloodstream, you will gradually enter a state of deep relaxation within a matter of seconds. The sedative allows you to remain semi-conscious and responsive to our dentist's instructions but sleepy enough that you aren’t really aware of what’s going on.

The dosage is closely monitored by our experienced team to ensure your safety throughout the treatment. Because the medication is delivered through a drip line, we are able to turn it off as soon as your procedure is complete.

Don't let a sensitive gag reflex or bad experiences prevent you from enjoying the healthy smile you deserve. Dr. Lei, Dr. Sue, and our caring team are here to help you enjoy a relaxed, pain-free experience.

Anxiety Relief:

IV Sedation is highly effective in reducing anxiety and phobia associated with dental procedures. Patients often report feeling relaxed and unconcerned during treatment, with many of them experiencing amnesia afterward.

Pain Management:

IV Sedation not only eases your mind but also minimizes physical discomfort. You'll hardly notice the procedure is happening.

Time Efficiency:

With deeper dental sedation, complex procedures that might require multiple visits can often be completed in a single session. This can save you time, money, and the inconvenience of multiple appointments.

Improved Experience:

For patients with a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still for longer procedures, IV Sedation can greatly enhance the overall care experience, allowing them to tune things out during the appointment.

Amnesia Effect:

A significant advantage of IV Sedation is that you may not remember much, if anything, about your procedure. This can be especially helpful if you have a dental phobia or previous negative dental experiences.
