Maintaining optimal oral health is essential to your overall well-being. But for many people, dental anxiety, fear of pain, or previous negative experiences can be powerful obstacles that lead to skipped appointments and neglected care. The result? Delayed treatments, worsening dental conditions, and long-term health consequences.
At Viva Infusions & Wellness, we understand how emotional and physical barriers can get in the way of regular dental visits. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry—a safe, effective solution that helps you feel calm and confident while staying committed to your dental health goals.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses carefully administered medications to help you relax during dental procedures. At Viva Infusions, we specialize in IV sedation, which is delivered directly into the bloodstream for fast, controlled results.
While you stay awake and breathe on your own, you’ll experience a deep sense of calm—often with little memory of the procedure afterward. It’s a game-changer for patients who want high-quality care without the fear, tension, or discomfort.
How Sedation Dentistry Supports Your Oral Health Goals
1. Reduces Dental Anxiety and Fear
Dental phobia is one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid appointments. IV sedation allows you to undergo necessary procedures without emotional distress, helping you return for regular care with confidence.
2. Encourages Routine Cleanings and Preventive Visits
When you’re not worried about pain or stress, it’s easier to keep up with your routine check-ups and cleanings. These visits are critical for preventing decay, gum disease, and expensive restorative treatments down the line.
3. Makes Complex or Lengthy Procedures Easier
If you need multiple treatments or extensive dental work, sedation dentistry lets your provider complete more in a single visit. Fewer appointments mean less disruption to your schedule and faster progress toward your dental goals.
4. Improves Comfort for Patients with Medical or Physical Needs
Patients with certain health conditions, heightened gag reflexes, or difficulty sitting still for long periods often find sedation essential to completing treatment successfully and comfortably.
5. Builds Long-Term Trust with Your Dental Team
Sedation creates a positive, pain-free experience, which helps rebuild trust in dental care. Over time, this makes it easier to stay on track with your oral health journey.
Who Should Consider Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation may be right for you if you:
- Experience moderate to severe dental anxiety
- Have avoided the dentist for years
- Need extensive or complex dental procedures
- Have a sensitive gag reflex or low pain threshold
- Struggle with physical or neurological conditions that make dental visits challenging
What to Expect with IV Sedation at Viva Infusions
Before your appointment, our team will review your medical history, explain the process, and provide pre-procedure instructions, such as:
- Fasting 8 hours for heavy meals
- 6 hours for light snacks
2 hours for clear liquids
During your visit, we’ll monitor your vitals throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort. Afterward, you’ll need someone to drive you home, and you may feel drowsy for a few hours as the sedation wears off.
Common Questions About Sedation Dentistry
Will I still be awake during the procedure?
Yes—you’ll be in a deeply relaxed, conscious state, but you likely won’t remember much afterward.
Is sedation safe for everyone?
Our providers assess your medical history to ensure sedation is appropriate for you. It is generally safe for most adults under professional supervision.
Will sedation help if I’ve had dental trauma in the past?
Absolutely. Sedation can ease emotional distress and create a more positive, healing experience.
Can sedation dentistry be used for routine care?
Yes! Many patients choose sedation even for cleanings or minor treatments to maintain regular care comfortably.
