IV Sedation Dentistry

Now you can put your dental fears to rest
If you find going to the dentist difficult because of fear of pain, discomfort or anxiety, fear no more. Dr. Olsen offers intravenous (IV) sedation dentistry — so it's easier than ever to go to the dentist! Gentle, safe, trusted IV sedation dentistry makes it much easier to have more complex dental procedures performed, such as implant surgery, root canal, fillings and periodontal treatment.

What is IV sedation dentistry?
IV sedation is a revolutionary method of controlling the pain and anxiety in fearful dental patients. It involves the use of a safe and proven sedative medication that helps you enter a tranquil, relaxed state of mind. Dr. Olsen is one of the few dentists in Southern Utah with the licensing and anesthesia training to perform IV sedation.

While Dr. Olsen is performing your procedure, you will feel removed from what is actually going on. Although you are not technically asleep, the experience is very similar to being asleep. You will breathe on your own and have virtually no memory of your treatment once it's finished. Also, there are very few side effects with IV sedation dentistry, with some patients merely feeling tired afterward.

One visit might be all that is needed.
One of the most compelling benefits of IV sedation is that you can get several dental procedures performed in just a single office visit. Of course, every patient's dental needs are different, and the more complex cases might require a second visit. Dr. Olsen will let you know how much treatment time is needed based on your unique condition.
