Let’s be honest—going to the dentist isn’t at the top of anyone’s “fun” list, especially for those who suffer from dental anxiety or require complex procedures. But what if your dental visits could feel calm, painless, and even peaceful?
At Viva Infusions, we believe that comfort is essential to quality care. That’s why we offer IV dental sedation therapy—a gentle, medically supervised option that transforms the way you experience dental treatment. Whether you’re facing a lengthy procedure or simply want to avoid the stress, IV sedation helps you stay relaxed, pain-free, and at ease every step of the way.
What Is IV Dental Sedation?
IV sedation dentistry involves the use of medication administered directly into your bloodstream via an intravenous (IV) line. This method allows for rapid, controlled sedation tailored to your needs. You remain conscious but deeply relaxed, and although you can respond to verbal cues, you likely won’t remember much of the procedure afterward.
Unlike general anesthesia, IV sedation doesn’t require intubation—you breathe naturally on your own the entire time. It’s a powerful yet safe option for reducing anxiety, managing discomfort, and ensuring a stress-free dental experience.
Who Benefits from Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation can benefit a wide range of patients, including those who:
- Experience moderate to severe dental anxiety or phobia
- Require extensive or complex dental work
- Have a low pain threshold
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Struggle to sit still for long periods
Have special needs or medical conditions requiring extra care
What to Expect Before Your Sedation Appointment
To ensure the safety and effectiveness of your IV sedation, it’s important to follow pre-procedure fasting guidelines:
- 8 hours fasting for heavy meals (meat, fried foods, dairy)
- 6 hours for light meals (toast, fruit, cereal)
2 hours for clear liquids (water, broth, black coffee, electrolyte drinks)
We’ll provide you with detailed instructions before your procedure, including medications to avoid and recommendations for arranging a ride home afterward.
What Happens After Sedation?
After your treatment, you’ll likely feel groggy or sleepy for a few hours. For your safety, you’ll need a friend or family member to drive you home and stay with you until the effects of the sedation wear off completely.
We recommend avoiding:
- Driving or operating machinery for 24 hours
- Alcohol or recreational drugs
- Signing legal documents
- Strenuous activity

Common Questions About Dental Sedation
Will I Be Awake During My Procedure?
Yes, you’ll be in a conscious but relaxed state. You may drift in and out of light sleep but will not be fully unconscious.
Is Sedation Safe If I Have a Complex Medical History?
Our team performs a thorough medical evaluation beforehand. IV sedation is generally safe and adjustable for those with pre-existing conditions, but every case is personalized.
Can I Receive Sedation If I'm Pregnant or Might Be?
Dental sedation is not recommended during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. Always let us know if there’s any chance you could be pregnant.
Will My Insurance Cover It?
Coverage for sedation varies by provider and plan. We’ll work with you to verify your benefits and discuss out-of-pocket options if needed.
