Say Goodbye to Dental Fear With Ultra-Relaxing Conscious Sedation

You're not alone if you get nervous just thinking about going to the dentist. It's not uncommon to feel that way. The good news, IV sedation can make your dental experience much better.

With this type of sedation, your dentist will give you medicine through a vein that lets you relax deeply. After receiving it, you may feel like you were sleeping. You likely won't remember much about your procedure after it's over. You will be continuously monitored throughout your treatment.

Dr. Despain has received the advanced training needed to offer IV sedation to his patients. It offers many benefits:

  • Works Fast - You'll feel the effects quickly, typically in less than five minutes.
  • Leaves You Responsive - While you'll feel deeply relaxed and even drowsy, you won't be asleep. You'll be able to respond to your dentist when needed.
  • Easy to Adjust - Unlike an oral sedative, Dr. Despain can adjust the amount of medication when needed.

While you'll experience less grogginess than with general anesthesia, you'll need to avoid driving and similar activities for at least several hours.

It works especially well for:

  • Wisdom Teeth Removal - Taking out these troublesome back teeth is no big deal when you're comfortably sedated.
  • Dental Implants - Getting implants placed feels much easier with sedation.
  • Multiple Fillings - Sedation allows you to fix several cavities in one visit instead of coming back multiple times.
  • Root Canals - You won't feel nervous about this tooth-saving procedure when you're sedated.

I wasn’t raised with the best dental hygiene, and over the years I’ve had just about every bad dental experience you can imagine. I’ve always related to the saying, “what can go wrong, will go wrong” when it came to dentist visits. My mouth isn’t in the best shape, and I have extremely high dental anxiety — to the point that I’ve actually passed out many times during procedurs. Because of that, it’s been really hard to keep up with or even try to fix the mess I felt stuck with. Recently, a tooth that was already broken lost another corner, leaving me with basically half a tooth. While waiting for that appointment, a cavity on the other side of my mouth popped out, again what can go wrong will go wrong.I was terrified about the upcoming procedure because putting me under usually costs too much — and that’s the only way I’ve ever been able to get through treatment. But the oral sedation they used was amazing. For the first time ever, I felt like I was actually part of my dental care without being fully aware of every detail. The team was kind, gentle, and patient. I got same-day crowns that look fantastic, and when I see them, I actually want to smile. For someone like me, who’s always dreaded the dentist, this was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had. I finally have hope for my future dental health, and I’m so grateful to this team for giving me that.

I took my husband here for major dental work under sedation. This was FINALLY a good dental experience for him. With his high anxiety towards dentists due to terrible past experiences, he was made to feel at ease at Skyview Dental. They were calm, patient, and understanding of his fears.... I took my husband here for major dental work under sedation. This was FINALLY a good dental experience for him. With his high anxiety towards dentists due to terrible past experiences, he was made to feel at ease at Skyview Dental. They were calm, patient, and understanding of his fears. Instructions were easy to handle and they really did a great job listening to his concerns and fears and did everything they could to make him as comfortable as possible. We will definitely be coming back here for future dental work.

Had an over all great experience. I believed I had an abscess by my wisdom teeth and it was fairly painful. Skyview Dental got me in the next day. I got both wisdom teeth removed and it was quick and extremely painless.

Commonly Asked Questions About IV Sedation

Is IV sedation the same as being put to sleep?

No, IV sedation is different from general anesthesia. You'll remain conscious and able to respond to verbal commands, but you'll feel extremely relaxed and disconnected from the dental procedure. Most patients don't fall completely asleep, though many have little to no memory of the treatment once it's complete.

How long does it take for IV sedation to wear off?

The immediate effects of IV sedation typically begin to wear off within 1-2 hours after your procedure. However, you may feel groggy for up to 24 hours. This is why we require patients to have someone drive them home after treatment and recommend resting for the remainder of the day.

Who is a good candidate for IV sedation?

Good candidates include patients with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, difficulty getting numb, or those undergoing complex dental procedures. It's also helpful for people who have trouble sitting still for long periods or those with special needs. Your health history will be reviewed to ensure IV sedation is safe for you.
