At Comfortable Dentistry in Coral Gables, we understand that a visit to the dentist can be a source of anxiety for many. That’s why we’re proud to offer IV sedation, a service that embodies our commitment to patient comfort and anxiety-free dental experiences. As a leading sedation dentist in Coral Gables, we ensure your dental care is effective and completely stress-free. 

 

How Does IV Sedation Work? 

IV sedation, or intravenous sedation, is a modern dental technique that provides deep relaxation during dental procedures. It involves administering sedative medications directly into the bloodstream, allowing for a faster and more controlled sedation experience. This method is ideal for patients who experience dental anxiety or are undergoing extensive dental treatments. 

IV Sedation: A Solution for Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety can prevent many individuals from seeking necessary dental care. IV sedation offers a solution to this problem, allowing patients to undergo dental procedures in a state of complete relaxation. It’s an excellent option for:

  • Patients with severe dental anxiety
  • Those undergoing lengthy or complex dental procedures
  • Individuals with a low pain threshold or sensitive gag reflex
  • Patients with special healthcare needs

From the moment you walk into our dental office, our friendly staff will make you feel at ease, addressing any concerns and answering all your questions. Our team is highly trained in administering IV sedation. We prioritize your safety and comfort, ensuring you receive the right amount of sedation tailored to your needs. Before the procedure, we will discuss your medical history and concerns to determine the best sedation approach. 

Nitrous Oxide for Additional Comfort

In addition to IV sedation, we also offer nitrous oxide, commonly known as "laughing gas" or "happy gas." This form of sedation is milder and ideal for patients who need a slight relaxation boost to get through their dental procedure. Nitrous oxide is safe and effective and wears off quickly, allowing patients to drive themselves home after their appointments. 

Nitrous oxide has the following benefits: 

  • Mild Sedation — It’s perfect for patients who need a little help relaxing.
  • Fast Recovery — The effects wear off almost immediately after removing the mask.
  • Controlled and Safe — Nitrous oxide is a time-tested, safe sedation method when administered by a professional.

Dr. Placencia is kind, listens and is a seasoned dentist. I was recommended to her by my neighbor. She uses laughing gas for us “chickens”. She helped me solve my problem in an effective and painless manner in two visits. I would certainly recommend her and this practice.
