IV Sedation Dentistry — Completely Anxiety-Free

IV Sedation Dentistry — Completely Anxiety-Free

IV sedation delivers sedative medication directly into the bloodstream, producing a state of deep relaxation and conscious sedation. You remain breathing on your own and able to respond if needed, but you will experience little or no awareness of the procedure — and most patients have absolutely no memory of it afterward.

Because IV sedation allows Dr. Oh to work more efficiently without interruption, complex procedures that would normally require multiple appointments can often be completed in a single visit. This is especially valuable for patients with significant dental anxiety, complex multi-procedure treatment plans, or a strong gag reflex.

IV sedation certification requires specialized post-graduate hospital training and separate state licensure — it is an uncommon qualification in general dentistry. Dr. Oh's certification means Westar Dental can offer a level of care typically reserved for oral surgery practices or dental schools.
