If fear or anxiety has been keeping you from the dentist, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it anymore. At Kannapolis Family Dentistry, we provide moderate conscious IV sedation to help you feel calm, relaxed, and completely at ease during your treatment.

Call (980) 246-2103 or contact our office to schedule your visit today.

Sedation dentistry is designed to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. Unlike general anesthesia, conscious sedation allows you to remain awake, responsive, and breathing on your own while feeling deeply at ease. This approach is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, or those undergoing longer treatments. With sedation, you can receive the care you need without stress or discomfort.

What Is IV Sedation Dentistry?

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.
