What Is Dental Anxiety and What Causes It?

Anyone at any age can have dental anxiety, and our compassionate dentists are highly experienced and skilled in managing anxious and nervous patients.

Throughout the entire process, we will explain what’s going on and consistently gauge your comfort levels, so you feel calm.
How Can IV Sedation Help with Dental Anxiety?
Intravenous (IV) sedation—also called sleep or sedation dentistry—is safe when administered by a medical professional and can help patients with the following:
- Severe dental anxiety
- Low pain tolerance
- Difficult time sitting for an extended time
- Sensitive teeth or gag reflex
- Extensive procedures or dental work
With IV sedation at i-Implant Dentistry, you can rest peacefully while the dentist takes care of your smile. When the dentist’s work is complete, you’ll wake up without worry or much memory of the procedure.
