Sedation Dentistry in Kannapolis, NC

At Kannapolis Family Dentistry, we offer multiple sedation methods based on your needs:

IV Sedation (Primary Option)

The most advanced and effective option for managing dental anxiety. It provides deep relaxation while allowing you to remain conscious and responsive.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Medication taken before your appointment to help you feel calm and at ease throughout your visit.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild form of sedation inhaled through a mask that helps you relax quickly and wears off shortly after your procedure.

What to Expect During IV Sedation

Before your procedure, we’ll review your medical history and discuss your comfort level to determine the best sedation option for you.

During treatment:

• The IV sedation is administered and takes effect quickly
• You’ll feel deeply relaxed but remain conscious
• Your vital signs are carefully monitored throughout the procedure
• Additional medication can be adjusted as needed

After your visit, you may feel drowsy and will need someone to drive you home. Most patients remember little to nothing about the procedure.
