Dental Sedation in Orlando, FL | Support for Anxiety and Surgical Care
IV Sedation and Personalized Comfort Options
We recognize that every patient responds differently during dental treatment. For individuals with dental anxiety or those facing complex procedures, receiving care can feel overwhelming. To support a calm and comfortable experience, our practice offers several safe and effective dental sedation options, including IV sedation, deep sedation, and general anesthesia. Our goal is to reduce stress, enhance comfort, and ensure that each patient receives treatment in a secure and supportive environment.
During your consultation, we will review your medical history and discuss your treatment needs to determine the most appropriate sedation option. While not all patients require sedation, those who do often find that it helps make dental procedures smoother, more efficient, and free from anxiety.
Is Sedation Safe?
Sedation dentistry is considered very safe when administered by trained professionals in a properly equipped setting. The risk of serious complications is extremely low, and healthy patients receiving sedation in our office are at no greater risk than those treated in a hospital. For individuals with specific health concerns, we conduct a detailed evaluation to select the safest and most effective sedation approach. Patient safety guides every decision we make.
IV Sedation for Advanced Comfort
IV sedation is an excellent option for patients with significant dental anxiety or those undergoing multiple or complex treatments. Administered intravenously, this form of sedation works quickly and creates a deep sense of relaxation while allowing the patient to remain responsive to verbal cues. Benefits of IV sedation include rapid onset, adjustable sedation levels, reduced memory of the procedure, and the ability to complete more advanced treatments efficiently. IV sedation is always administered and monitored by qualified professionals to ensure a safe and controlled experience.
Dental Anesthesia with a Board Certified Anesthesiologist
For patients who require a higher level of comfort, we are proud to offer deep sedation and general anesthesia provided by a board certified anesthesiologist. These options are ideal for individuals with severe dental anxiety, extensive surgical needs, or those who prefer to complete multiple treatments in a single appointment.
