Complete Relaxation During Your Dental Work.

If the thought of sitting in the dentist’s chair makes you nervous, you are not alone. IV (Intravenous) Sedation is a safe, highly effective way to manage fear, discomfort, and sensitive gag reflexes. Unlike mild oral sedatives, IV sedation works quickly and allows our team to safely adjust your level of relaxation in real-time.

Tailored Sedation for Your Specific Health Needs.

IV Sedation isn't just for extreme cases; it’s an excellent tool for ensuring a smooth, pain-free experience during our more intensive treatments. We highly recommend utilizing IV sedation if you are booking:

Dental Implants: Whether you are getting a single implant or a full-arch restoration, sedation allows Dr. Beall to perform the surgery while you relax peacefully through the entire process.

Periodontics & Oral Surgery: For procedures like tooth extractions, bone grafting, or gum grafting with Dr. Blanton, IV sedation ensures you feel zero discomfort and minimizes your physical stress response.

Root Canal Therapy: Severe tooth pain is stressful enough. We use IV sedation to safely eliminate the anxiety and pain associated with treating infected teeth.

Complex Restorative Work: Need multiple crowns or bridges? Sedation lets us accomplish hours of restorative dentistry in what feels like just a few minutes to you.

Your Safety is Our Highest Priority.

Administering IV sedation requires advanced training, precision, and state-of-the-art monitoring.

Our in-house anesthetist brings over 25 years of experience to every procedure, and together with Dr. Beall, Dr. Blanton, and our dedicated clinical staff, follows rigorous safety protocols.

Your vitals—including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels—are continuously monitored from the moment your sedation begins until you are fully awake and ready to go home.

You receive specialized, hospital-grade safety standards in the comfort of your local neighborhood clinic.

What to Expect on Your Procedure Day.

Preparation is the key to a smooth, stress-free experience. We’ve designed our process to prioritize your safety and comfort from the moment you arrive until you’re resting at home. Here is a look at your journey with us.

  • Health Review

    Before your procedure, we review your medical history to ensure IV sedation is the safest, most effective option for you.

  • Arrival

    You’ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you to and from the clinic on the day of your appointment.

  • The Procedure

    We administer the medication, and within seconds, you will drift into a state of deep relaxation.

  • Recovery

    You will wake up comfortably in our office. Because the medication has a lingering effect, you’ll head home to rest for the remainder of the day while your mouth heals.

Sabrina was so helpful assisting Dr. Beall. I had a great experience getting two crowns. I was so comfortable during the preparation and setting of the temporaries. Thank you!
