IV Sedation Sleep Dentistry
Feel deeply relaxed or sleep through your dental procedure with safe, monitored IV sedation—ideal for anxious patients or complex treatments.

Consultation & Evaluation
We review your medical history, discuss your concerns, and confirm that IV sedation is safe and appropriate for you.
Pre-Procedure Preparation
You'll receive specific instructions about fasting and medications. Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home.
IV Sedation Administration
Medication is delivered through a vein, allowing you to relax deeply. Our team monitors your vital signs continuously.
Comfortable Treatment
Your dental procedure is completed while you remain in a calm, sleep-like state with little to no awareness.
Recovery & Aftercare
You'll rest briefly in our office, then go home with your driver. Most patients feel back to normal the next day.
Will I be completely asleep?+
Most patients feel like they are asleep and have little to no memory of the procedure. Technically, you are in a deeply relaxed state rather than fully unconscious, but you can still respond if needed.
Is IV sedation safe?+
Yes, IV sedation is very safe when administered by trained professionals. At Hudson Dental Center, your vital signs are continuously monitored throughout the procedure following strict clinical protocols.
Who is a good candidate for IV sedation?+
Patients with dental anxiety, low pain tolerance, sensitive gag reflex, or those needing extensive dental work are excellent candidates. A consultation is required to confirm eligibility based on your medical history.
Do I need someone to drive me home?+
Yes, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home after your appointment, as the effects of sedation can linger. Plan to rest for the remainder of the day.
Will I feel any pain?+
IV sedation significantly reduces awareness and discomfort. Combined with local anesthesia, most patients feel little to no pain during treatment.
