IV Sedation Dentistry in Broken Arrow, OK

Deeper Relaxation for Comfortable, Efficient Dental Care

Some dental procedures require more time, and some patients need more than mild sedation to feel completely comfortable. At Endicott Dental, IV sedation provides an option for deeper relaxation while allowing our team to closely monitor your comfort throughout treatment.

IV sedation may be available in our office or coordinated with a licensed anesthesia provider depending on your treatment needs.

What is IV Sedation?

IV sedation medication is delivered directly through a vein, allowing it to begin working quickly. One of its biggest advantages is that the sedation level can be adjusted throughout your procedure.

You will be deeply relaxed, and many patients remember very little about their appointment afterward. IV sedation is different from general anesthesia. Your specific level of sedation and monitoring will be discussed with you before treatment.

IV sedation may be appropriate for patients who:

• Experience significant dental anxiety
• Need complex or lengthy dental treatment
• Want to complete multiple procedures during one appointment
• Have difficulty becoming comfortable with lighter sedation
• Have a strong gag reflex or trouble sitting through treatment

Safety Comes First

Your health and safety guide every sedation decision we make.

Before your appointment, we review your medical history, medications, allergies, and planned dental treatment. During sedation, your dental and sedation team closely monitors important vital signs such as your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.

You will also receive detailed instructions about eating, drinking, medications, transportation, and recovery before your appointment.

Because IV sedation can affect coordination and alertness after treatment, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home and follow the recovery instructions provided by our team.

Dental Care at Your Comfort Level

Endicott Dental believes anxiety should never prevent you from receiving important dental care. We take time to understand your concerns and recommend the level of sedation that makes sense for your health and treatment.
