Not completely asleep, but pretty close! IV sedation puts you in a deeply relaxed, dreamlike state where you’ll feel calm and comfortable the entire time. Most patients don’t remember much, if anything, about the procedure. The effects wear off gradually, so you’ll definitely need a trusted adult to drive you home and hang out with you for a few hours while you come back to normal.

IV Sedation
If going to the dentist makes you nervous, if you’ve got a strong gag reflex, or if you’re scheduled for a longer or more complex treatment, IV sedation could be a great option for you. It helps take the edge off and hastens your visit. We’ll chat about your health history beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit.
Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. Our dental team is specially trained in IV sedation and monitors your vitals—like heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure—the entire time you’re in the chair. You’ll be in good hands from start to finish.
Yes! Sometimes kids need a little extra support to get through dental procedures comfortably, especially if they’re anxious or need a lot of work done. We provide pediatric IV sedation in a safe, kid-friendly environment and always walk parents through what to expect.
Yep—there are a few things we’ll need you to do beforehand. We’ll give you a detailed list of instructions, including when to stop eating or drinking, what to wear, and whether you should take any medications. Following those guidelines helps ensure a smooth, safe experience with IV sedation in Rock Hill.
It depends on your plan. Some cover it for specific procedures or medical reasons, while others may not. Don’t worry—our team will walk you through your benefits and help explore payment or financing options, if needed. We’ll make sure cost doesn’t compromise comfortable care.
