What Is IV Sedation? A Calm, Comfortable Way to Have Oral Surgery
What IV sedation feels like, how safe it is, and how to prepare.

How it feels
IV sedation places you in a deeply relaxed state. Most patients remember little or nothing of their procedure and wake up comfortable.
Safety first
Our surgeons are trained in anesthesia and monitor your breathing, heart rate and oxygen levels throughout your procedure.
