Say Goodbye to Dental Anxiety
At Smile 32 Dentistry, we understand that fear of the dentistcan prevent many patients from getting the care they need. That’s why Dr. Ali Obeidiand our compassionate team offer customized sedation dentistry options, including safe and effective IV sedation, to help you feel relaxed and confident—whether you’re here for a cleaning or a complex full-mouth procedure.
If you’ve been putting off dental work because of anxiety, gag reflex sensitivity, or previous negative experiences, our IV sedation dentistry in Houston, TXcan help make your visit a positive one.
What Is IV Sedation?
IV sedation (intravenous sedation)delivers medication directly into your bloodstream, helping you enter a deeply relaxed, sleeplike state—while still remaining conscious and responsive. You may not remember much (or any) of the procedure, thanks to the amnesic effects of the medication.
IV sedation is ideal for:
- Moderate to severe dental anxiety
- Complex or lengthy procedures
- Patients with low pain thresholds
- Those who have avoided the dentist for years
After your treatment, you’ll need someone to drive you home as the sedative effects may linger for several hours.
