Oral & IV Sedation

Welcome to Bay Area Dental Specialists where your comfort and relax are our top priority. We know that dental anxiety is a major obstacle for some patients. That's why we provide oral and IV sedation to make you feel relaxed and calm during your dental procedure.


The oral sedation method involves taking prescribed medication before your appointment in order to induce relaxation and tranquility. This is a great option for patients who have mild to moderate anxiety and prefer a noninvasive sedation. IV sedation administered intravenously to patients by a trained professional is also an option for those with severe anxiety, or who are undergoing extensive dental treatment.


Bay Area Dental Specialists put your comfort first.

  • Oral Sedation

    You can use oral sedation to relax and calm you down before your appointment. This option is especially beneficial to patients who have moderate to severe anxiety about dental treatment or are undergoing long or complex procedures. Our dental team will determine the right medication and dosage for you based on your medical history and individual needs. This will ensure a stress-free and comfortable experience.

  • IV Sedation

    Intravenous sedation (IV) is a more intense form of sedation that is administered directly through the vein. This method can cause a deep state of relaxation, and even temporary memory loss. The IV sedation method is perfect for those with severe dental anxiety, who are undergoing extensive dental treatment, or prefer to remain unaware of their treatment. Our dental professionals monitor your vitals throughout the treatment to ensure that you are comfortable and safe.

Sedation dentistry: Is it right for you?

Oral or IV sedation is a great option for those who have dental anxiety or fear or are unable to sit still for long periods of time. During a consultation, our compassionate dental team will listen to your concerns and discuss your preferences in order to determine which sedation method is best for you.
