IV Sedation

IV Sedation: A Comfortable and Safe Experience

IV sedation, also known as intravenous sedation, is a highly effective method used to help patients remain calm and comfortable during dental and surgical procedures. This sedation technique involves administering medication directly into the bloodstream, allowing for rapid and controlled relaxation. IV sedation is often necessary for individuals with severe dental anxiety, those undergoing complex or lengthy procedures, or patients with a low pain threshold. By reducing anxiety and discomfort, IV sedation ensures that treatments are carried out smoothly and efficiently. Our practice takes a gentle approach, carefully monitoring each patient throughout the procedure to ensure safety and comfort. We use advanced techniques and tailor the sedation level to meet your specific needs, providing a reassuring and stress-free experience for every patient.

Patient Testimonials

“Great office! Very friendly and professional. Dr. Kim and Maya dispelled most of my anxiety around having surgery and their Front staff, Mari and Rebecca, were so welcoming and supportive. They explained in detail the costs of my planned treatment so I fully understood. They were prepared to answer last minute questions about surgery and I left knowing I’d be safe in the hands of these very capable and caring staff.”

Mika Lucas

“The doctor and his assistant were so excellent in handling my tooth extraction. I was very anxious about the procedure but they were really good at putting me at ease and explaining everything they were doing. I had much less pain than I expected after the procedure. The pain management they recommended really helped. Thank you!”

Colleen Engle

“Dr Kim, Thank you for being sympathetic to my fears about vising the dentist. It is obvious that you take pride in your work, and I feel very lucky to be one of your patients. I was extremely nervous about having my teeth removed, but my worrying was a waste of time. From the moment I entered, you and your team made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The whole experience was tremendously positive and painless, thank you.”
