Dental Sedation Leesburg, FL | For Anxiety and Surgery
IV Sedation and Customized Comfort Solutions
We understand that not all patients react the same way when visiting the dentist. For some, dental anxiety or complex treatment needs can make care overwhelming. That’s why we provide safe and effective dental sedation options, including IV sedation, deep sedation, and general anesthesia. Our goal is to reduce stress, maximize comfort, and ensure every patient receives treatment in a safe environment.
During your consultation, we will discuss your medical history and treatment needs, then recommend the most appropriate sedation option. Not all patients require sedation, but for those who do, it can make dental care calm, efficient, and anxiety free.
Is Sedation Safe?
Yes. Sedation dentistry is considered very safe when administered by trained professionals in a properly equipped setting. The risk of serious complications is extremely low, lower than the chance of being struck by lightning. Healthy patients who receive dental sedation in our office are at no higher risk than those treated in a hospital. For patients with certain health concerns, we will carefully review your case and recommend the safest approach. Patient safety is always our top priority.
IV Sedation
IV sedation is an effective option for patients with severe dental anxiety or for those undergoing multiple or complex treatments. Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation works quickly and induces a state of deep relaxation while allowing patients to remain responsive to verbal cues. Benefits of IV sedation dentistry include:
- Rapid onset of calm and comfort
- Adjustable sedation levels throughout treatment
- Reduced memory of the procedure, minimizing anxiety
- More efficient completion of advanced procedures
Because IV sedation requires specialized training and equipment, it is always administered and monitored by qualified professionals in our office.
