Is dental anxiety keeping you from the strong, healthy smile you deserve? If it is, Dr. Marshall Wright’s Weatherford dental office has a solution that can help. It’s called IV sedation. With IV sedation, patients who routinely avoid the dentist can finally enjoy comfortable, soothing care that will help them reclaim their oral health.

What Is IV Sedation?

IV (or intravenous) sedation lets patients experience a deeper level of relaxation than is possible with either nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation. That makes it ideal for patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety, or for patients who have trouble sitting comfortably for long periods.

At our Weatherford dental office, a trained, in-office anesthesiologist will stay by your side throughout your appointment to monitor your condition and deliver exactly the level of relaxation you need. Whether you’re coming in for a long appointment or for a simple procedure, we can help you overcome any anxiety or discomfort you might anticipate to help you achieve a sense of calm you never knew you could experience at a dentist office.

Is IV Sedation Right for You?

The good news is that IV sedation is right for most patients. For some patients, though, Dr. Wright would highly recommend IV sedation over our other methods. For instance, if you suffer from a neuromuscular condition or would describe your anxiety level as moderate to severe, IV sedation would be an ideal choice.
