What is IV Sedation Dentistry and how does it work?

Sedation dentistry involves the usage of medication to sedate you during your dental treatment so you only feel calm and relaxed. The IV sedation may cause you to doze off during the treatment under controlled environment and when you wake up, you won’t remember the treatment or your experience in the chair.

IV sedation will be administered to you through intravenous methods and will remain in place until your treatment is done. It’s only removed once the treatment is done. The benefit of IV sedation is that it provides immediate relief and sedation since the medications are administered directly into the veins, similar to a hospital setting. Once the medication makes its way into the bloodstream, it works fast and effective at helping you relax so there’s no waiting period which will help reduce your time in the dental chair. To maintain your safety and ensure your health is stable, your blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels are monitored all through out the sedation process. After the medicine wears off, you might feel grogginess for the rest of the day. It’s recommended that you have a driver to take you home and monitor you for the rest of the day.

Our Sedation Options

At our dental office in Phoenix, we provide several sedation methods tailored to your needs and preferences:

Oral Sedation: Simple and effective, this involves taking a pill before your procedure. You’ll feel drowsy but will still be awake and responsive.
IV Sedation: For deeper sedation, IV sedation is given directly into the bloodstream, allowing for an adjustable level of sedation.

I've never had such a great experience at dentist before. I had a new patient appointment on Monday and they fit me in the very next day for the fillings I needed. Dr. Whiting is extremely patient and actually cares about your comfort. The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. If you have anxiety about going to the dentist, THIS is where you need to go!

Dr. Whiting is a super knowledgeable, thorough, and gentle dentist! I was a bit nervous getting a tooth extracted, but surprised when she said ‘ok, all done!’ Her assistant Brenda comforted me as well! Glad I found this place. I’m going back for other procedures!

Dr. Whiting is great. She did all my extractions & my dentures & fought with my insurance to get me the best price. She is gentle but very thorough. I can't recommend strongly enough.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dental Therapy for an initial exam and cleaning, and i must say, it was an outstanding experience.

I was nervous going in because i didn't have much prior experience with dental work, but Dr. Whiting and her team made the process very easy and were very welcoming.

The initial exam was not only thorough, but Dr. Whiting did an excellent job breaking down my treatment plan into easy to follow steps and helped me prioritize which work to do first.

Overall my experience at Dental Therapy was exceptional. If you're a new patient in search of a dental practice I would highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Whiting at her team at Dental Therapy.
