What is Sleep/IV Sedation Dentistry?

Sleep/IV Sedation Dentistry involves using sedatives to create a calm and stress-free experience during dental treatments. It’s especially beneficial for patients with anxiety, those undergoing long procedures, or individuals with difficulty tolerating dental work.

  • IV Sedation: Delivered through a vein, IV sedation takes effect quickly and allows the dentist to maintain precise control over the sedation level.
  • Oral Sedation: Involves taking medication before your visit to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout the procedure.

At Clove Dental in Camarillo, we prioritize your safety and tailor the sedation process to meet your unique needs, making dental visits a worry-free experience.
