Oral Conscious Dental Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is a great option for those who want to feel completely relaxed during their treatment. You'll simply take a pill before your appointment, and soon you'll feel a sense of calm and ease. Many patients find that they have little to no memory of the procedure afterward. To ensure your safety, you'll need a friend or family member to drive you to and from our office and stay with you until the effects of the sedation have worn off.

IV Conscious Dental Sedation

For those with higher levels of anxiety or who are facing more complex procedures, IV conscious sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation. With this method, medication is administered directly into your bloodstream, allowing you to feel calm and comfortable within moments. Many patients don't remember the procedure at all.

Dr. Diercks is a California-licensed dentist with advanced training in IV sedation and cardiac support. Our office meets all state requirements for providing IV sedation, and our team will closely monitor your vital signs throughout your treatment to ensure your safety and comfort.

As with oral sedation, you will need someone to accompany you to and from your appointment and stay with you until the sedation wears off.
