IV Sedation

With safe and proven techniques, patients receive sedative drugs which work rapidly to create a relaxed state that is maintained and monitored throughout treatment. Beyond creating an optimal environment for you, dentistry with IV Sedation also allows us to complete multiple procedures in one appointment.

An IV is started by Dr. Chisik, allowing the medications for relaxation to enter the body. You will not remember or be aware of any procedures or especially getting numb. You breathe on your own. This is not like the hospital anesthesia where a machine breathes for you.
