IV Sedation

You'll remain conscious but unaware of your surroundings, allowing you to comfortably undergo your dental treatment. Ideal for patients with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive procedures, IV sedation ensures a stress-free experience.
Administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, intravenous sedation is a safe and effective solution for pain-free dental treatment. During IV sedation treatment at our Houston dental office, the patient is injected with a sedative liquid. This method induces deep sedation for treatment, and is later reversed so the patient is awake. After an receiving IV sedation, patients should expect to feel alert but groggy.
Although this method is very effective, most patients find that oral sedation works well for them.
