During I.V. Sedation, your comfort and safety is our primary concern. The sedatives administered during I.V. Sedation, create strong feelings of relaxation and comfort. During your dental treatment you will not experience any pain or discomfort. When you have awoken after the procedure, you will have no memory of the treatment.

Dr. Dougherty and his team are all certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and during the procedure will never leave your side. Your vital signs are constantly monitored and your comfort ensured. As with the technique of Oral Sedation, I.V. Sedation also requires you to be accompanied to and from the practice with a companion.

Prior to undergoing I.V. Sedation, Dr. Dougherty will thoroughly review and discuss your medical history with you. Some medical conditions do eliminate the possibility of I.V. Sedation and if so, Dr. Dougherty will discuss alternative anesthesia options.
