IV Sedation

Deep, Comfortable Relaxation with IV Sedation Dentistry

IV sedation offers one of the deepest, most controlled forms of relaxation available in dentistry—making it an ideal option for patients with high anxiety, strong gag reflexes, or those undergoing longer or more complex treatments. As the only dental practice in the Tri-County area offering IV sedation, Holley Dental Group provides advanced, comfort-focused care delivered with precision and safety.

With IV sedation, medication is administered directly into the bloodstream, allowing the level of sedation to be adjusted in real time while helping you feel deeply relaxed, calm, and often unaware of the procedure. You remain responsive but incredibly comfortable, creating a smooth and stress-free dental experience.

Why Patients Choose IV Sedation for Their Care

IV sedation is especially helpful for patients who struggle with severe dental anxiety, have difficulty staying comfortable during treatment, or require multiple procedures in a single visit. Because the sedation is closely monitored and adjusted throughout the appointment, it offers an unmatched level of control and predictability. Most patients remember little—if anything—about the procedure, making it a life-changing option for those who avoid the dentist due to fear or discomfort.

Benefits of IV sedation include:

  • Deep Relaxation – Promotes a calm, dream-like state that greatly reduces anxiety and awareness during treatment.

  • Adjustable Sedation Levels – Medication can be increased or reduced instantly for maximum comfort and safety.

  • Ideal for Complex Procedures – Allows longer or multiple treatments to be completed in fewer visits.

  • Reduced Memory of Procedure – Many patients remember very little, helping ease future dental anxiety.

  • Helpful for Strong Gag Reflexes – Makes procedures significantly easier for patients who struggle with gagging.

  • Safely Monitored Care – Vital signs and sedation depth are continuously observed throughout your visit.
