Oral & IV Sedation

Safe, Comfortable, Fear-Free Dentistry!

Sometimes referred to as “comfortable” or “relaxation” dentistry, the terms describe the feelings most patients experience during their sedation appointments. The purpose of sedation is to allow Dr. Kwan to work more effectively by helping a patient become as comfortable as possible through the use of sedative medications administered orally and sublingually or in some case intravenously (IV). Oral and IV sedation are very safe, and you will be well monitored throughout your whole dental visit by our specially-trained dental team. Recovery time is minimal, with most patients able to go home within an hour after the completion of their dental procedure.

IV & Oral sedation dentistry can benefit a wide range of patients, including people with:

• High dental anxiety and fear
• A severe gag reflex
• Time constraints—those who need to get more dentistry done in fewer visits
• Chronic or acute jaw soreness
• Physical limitations such as back and neck problems
• Difficulty getting numb
• Extensive treatment needs
• A desire to have dentistry done comfortably while they are fully relaxed

Many people have dental fears or phobias that keep them away from the dentist until, unfortunately, their dental and overall health are compromised. Contact us today to find out more about how sedation dentistry can help you achieve the smile you have always wanted but have been afraid to get.
