About This Treatment

What is IV Sedation?

IV sedation, sometimes called twilight sedation, is the deepest form of conscious sedation available in a dental setting. You remain breathing on your own, but you’ll be deeply relaxed, unaware of the procedure, and unlikely to remember anything afterwards.

Dr Ryan Liang is a highly experienced sedation dentist who has helped hundreds of anxious patients finally get the dental care they need, comfortably and safely. Whether you have severe dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or simply want to get multiple treatments done in one visit, IV sedation could be the answer.

You’ll be monitored closely throughout your appointment, and our team will be with you every step of the way. Many patients tell us it’s the first time they’ve ever felt truly relaxed in a dental chair.
