is Our Top Priority During Procedures

At Joshua Dental Pasadena, we understand that dental procedures can be a source of anxiety for many patients. That’s why we offer a range of sedation options to ensure your comfort and relaxation throughout your treatment. Our experienced team will help you choose the best option for your needs.

  • Oral sedation: safe, effective way to reduce anxiety and help you stay calm and comfortable throughout your procedure.
  • IV Sedation: Achieve a relaxed state while remaining conscious. Ideal for moderate anxiety and longer procedures.
  • General Anesthesia: A deeper level of sedation for complete relaxation. Recommended for extensive surgeries or severe anxiety.
  • Comprehensive Monitoring: Your safety is our priority. We closely monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure.

What to Expect During IV Sedation

IV sedation is a safe and effective way to manage anxiety and discomfort during dental procedures. During IV sedation, you will receive medication through an IV line that will help you relax. You will remain conscious and able to respond to instructions, but you will feel very relaxed and may not remember much of the procedure afterward. Our experienced team will closely monitor your vital signs throughout the sedation process to ensure your safety and comfort.

IV Sedation: Q&A

Yes, IV sedation is considered very safe when administered by trained and experienced professionals. We carefully monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.

With IV sedation, you’ll be in a deeply relaxed, dream-like state. Many patients drift in and out of sleep and remember little to nothing afterward, but you are still breathing on your own and can respond if needed.

The duration of IV sedation varies depending on the length of the procedure. We will adjust the dosage to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the entire treatment.

For IV sedation, patients must have a responsible driver and should not eat or drink for at least 6 hours before their appointment.
