What is Sleep/IV Sedation Dentistry?

Sleep/IV Sedation Dentistry is a safe and effective technique designed to help patients relax during dental procedures. While under sedation, you remain conscious and able to respond to instructions, but you’ll feel deeply calm and free of anxiety.

  • IV Sedation: Administered through a small intravenous line for precise and immediate relaxation.
  • Oral Sedation: Taken as a prescribed medication prior to your visit, oral sedation helps alleviate stress and prepares you for a calm dental experience.

At Clove Dental in Encino, we tailor sedation options to suit the unique needs of every patient, ensuring the highest level of comfort and safety.

  • Require complex or multiple treatments in a single visit.
