Fear has no place here! How deeper, IV sedation safely relaxes even the most apprehensive patients
At Murphy Family Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry, sedation dentistry is not one thing or method. Our dentists, Dr. Masoud E. Najari and Dr. Jacqueline T. Nguyen know that every patient is unique. You and your family members all have specific needs and varying backgrounds and relationships to dentistry. So, for this reason, they have invested in the training and technologies to support mild and deeper forms of sedation dentistry safely and predictably. These options include the most powerful form, intravenous or IV conscious sedation.
What is IV sedation?
Our team is equipped to offer three levels of relaxing sedatives. In order from lightest to deepest:
- Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”)
- Intravenous conscious sedation
IV conscious sedation is administered intravenously.
Why Choose Dr. Nguyen for IV Sedation?
For patients who experience high dental anxiety or need extensive treatment,
IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation and comfort. At Murphy Family Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Masoud E. Najari and Dr. Jacqueline T. Nguyen offer IV sedation administered safely and closely monitored throughout your procedure. This method allows you to remain calm and unaware of treatment details while still being responsive.
It’s an ideal choice for longer procedures or patients who prefer a completely stress-free experience.
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Call our Murphy, TX office today at (972) 808-5023 to schedule a consultation. Learn how IV sedation can help you overcome dental anxiety and receive the care your smile deserves in complete peace and comfort.
Why might IV sedation be more appropriate than the other forms?
We conduct a complete medical review and work in consultation with you to ensure the most appropriate course of action. In addition to easing moderate to severe dental-related anxiety or fear, IV conscious sedation may be recommended as an attractive and efficient way to safely and comfortably perform many necessary procedures in one appointment. It can also help to support a good experience when a long appointment is on the horizon. With the help of IV conscious sedation, our dentists have instilled trust among patients with a history of traumatic dental experiences.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
When planning to undergo IV conscious sedation, it is essential to enlist a trusted and reliable friend or family member to drive you home afterward and to keep an eye on you for the rest of the day while you recover. While we will provide more details specific to your situation, all patients will be given instruction on eating and drinking before their appointment. We also encourage you to wear loose, comfy shoes, clothes, and minimal jewelry. It is also advised to refrain from work and other activities. So, you can rest afterward and as the full effects of the sedative wear off. Be ready to kick back and relax!
We look forward to discussing your needs and concerns. To do so, simply call our team in Murphy, TX, at (972) 808-5023 or book an appointment online today.
