IV Sedation
For patients who need a stronger level of anxiety control and deeper relaxation, intravenous sedation will induce a profound sleeplike state. It’s great for patients with a strong gag reflex, or patients who need multiple treatments who want to get all treatments done in one visit. Many patients who receive IV sedation may forget parts of their care or the entirety of their treatment. Dr. Holmes and Dr Oakes with their team at Vitality Dental are specifically trained for this type of sedation, which we can adjust to the appropriate level for your individual needs. It’s also fast-acting and rapidly reversible when needed.

Sedation Dentistry Can Give You the Power to Take Control of Your Health
If you feel anxious about the sights, sounds or smells of a dental visit, dental anesthesia may be the solution that lets you get back in the dental office and take control of your oral health. Avoiding the dental office can lead to severe tooth decay, gum disease, tooth loss, and infections. Left unchecked, the disease-causing bacteria found in gum disease can spread throughout the body and lead to diabetes complications, high blood pressure, and even cardiovascular disease.
Whether you need the edge taken off for your routine cleanings or wish you could sleep through your full mouth reconstruction, we’re here to discuss your options to reduce anxiety and feel relaxed in the dental chair. We also partner with multiple insurance companies and will help you file claims to ensure your entire treatment process is painless. You deserve great oral health without fear or pain, which is why we encourage everyone with dental phobia to consider sedation anesthesia near you in Nashville, TN.
