At Masterton Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients. That’s why we offer IV sedation to help you feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable throughout your treatment.
What is IV Sedation?
IV sedation involves administering a carefully controlled sedative medication through a small vein in your arm or hand. This allows you to feel deeply relaxed while still being conscious enough to respond to instructions. Many patients describe the experience as dream-like, with little to no memory of the procedure afterwards.
Who is IV Sedation For?
IV sedation may be a great option if you:
-
Feel anxious or nervous about dental visits
-
Have had negative dental experiences in the past
-
Need longer or more complex treatment
-
Have a strong gag reflex

Safety First
Your safety is our priority. Our experienced team is specially trained to provide IV sedation and will carefully monitor your comfort and wellbeing throughout your visit.
After Your Appointment
Because the effects of sedation can last for several hours, you will need a trusted adult to accompany you and drive you home. We also recommend taking the rest of the day off to rest and recover.
