IV Sedation

IV Sedation Sleep Dentistry allows patients to undergo one or more procedures while they remain completely free of anxiety, fear or discomfort they might otherwise experience. We achieve this effect by using intravenous medication to place the patient into untroubled sleep for the duration of the treatment. We use state-of-the-art monitoring equipment to ensure that our patients are always safe and comfortable.

A typical sleep dentistry visit may include general restorative care, root canal therapy, gum surgery, wisdom teeth removal, placement of dental implants and other oral surgeries. Upon completion of your dental treatment under IV sedation, you will feel relaxed with little or no memory of the procedure.

Dr. Afifi has trained under Dr. Stanley Malamed, the foremost authority on Dental Anesthesia and emergency medicine at the University of Southern California, School of Dentistry.
