Sedation Dentistry
Scared of the dentist? You’re not alone - and you don’t have to just “suck it up.”

IV sedation is a total game-changer for anyone who avoids dental visits because of anxiety, past trauma, a sensitive gag reflex, or just straight-up dread.

At Dental at the Met, we don’t just offer sedation... we get why you need it. This is a judgment-free space, and our IV sedation option is here to help you get the care you need without panic, pain, or memory of the chair.

How this will improve your life

Get that thing fixed, FINALLY.

You can finally get work done you’ve been avoiding.

No more panic spirals or white-knuckling. You’ll be so relaxed you won’t care what’s happening.

Future visits? No sweat.

You’ll remember little to nothing afterwards (yes please)
what's going on

Wait...what the heck is IV sedation dentistry?

IV (intravenous) sedation is a safe and effective way to help you fully relax during your dental appointment. You’ll be conscious but deeply chill, and most people don’t remember a thing afterward.

Unlike oral pills or laughing gas, IV sedation kicks in fast and can be adjusted in real-time to keep you comfy throughout.

why it matters

Who should consider sedation dentistry

Sedation isn’t “extra.” It’s a legit option for people who need a little help getting through it.

  • You’ve got dental anxiety that no amount of deep breathing fixes.
  • It’s been a long time and you’re nervous to come back.
  • You need a lot of work done and want it all at once.
  • Gag reflex like a landmine? Yeah, we see that too.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, we have a trained sedation dentistry team to assess you and treat you carefully. Some reactions can occur and our teams are trained in how to work with these. Before we work on you, we do a full workup to try to find out if any of these issues are likely in your case.

What types of sedation do dentists use?

Common types include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation (a prescribed pill), and IV sedation for deeper relaxation. We’ll help you choose the right option based on your comfort level and the procedure. Many patients are surprised by how easy and stress-free it feels.

Will I be totally unconscious during sedation dentistry?

Nope - you’ll be conscious but very relaxed and likely won’t remember the appointment. It’s not general anesthesia, it’s way less intense.

Do I need sedation dentistry for every dental procedure?

Not at all. Some people use sedation dentistry for longer or more complex procedures, others for anxiety. We’ll help you decide what’s right.
