When IV Sedation Dentistry Makes a Difference
IV sedation isn’t just for extreme cases — it’s for anyone who wants a calmer, more comfortable dental experience.
Severe Dental Anxiety
Intense fear or panic that makes it difficult to undergo even routine dental procedures.
Strong Gag Reflex
A hypersensitive gag reflex that disrupts treatment and makes dental work uncomfortable or impossible.
Multiple Procedures in One Visit
When several treatments need to be completed in a single appointment, sedation helps you stay relaxed and still.
Past Traumatic Dental Experiences
Helps patients who have had negative or painful dental visits feel safe, supported, and in control.
Difficulty Getting Numb
A great option for patients who experience discomfort even with standard local anesthesia.
Complex or Lengthy Procedures
Ideal for oral surgery, extractions, implants, and other advanced treatments requiring extended comfort.

Why Patients Choose Aster Smiles for IV Sedation Dentistry?
Certified IV Sedation Provider
Dr. Huynh is trained and certified in IV sedation — not every general dentist offers this. You get specialist-level sedation care without a referral, all in a practice that knows your history and comfort needs.
Comfort-Focused From Start to Finish
Sedation is just one part of the experience. We also offer weighted blankets, headphones, hand-signal communication, and post-visit comfort reviews — so every detail supports how you feel.
More Treatment in Fewer Visits
Because IV sedation keeps you deeply relaxed for extended periods, we can often combine multiple procedures into a single appointment — saving you time, trips, and stress.

IV Sedation Dentistry FAQs
IV sedation dentistry uses medication delivered through an IV line to put you into a deeply relaxed state during dental treatment. You’ll remain conscious but feel calm and drowsy — most patients remember little to nothing from their visit. It’s ideal for patients with anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or those needing complex procedures.
Yes. Dr. Huynh is trained and certified in IV sedation, and our team uses hospital-grade monitoring equipment to track your vitals — including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels — throughout your entire visit.
Not fully unconscious — IV sedation puts you in a deep state of relaxation where you can still respond to verbal cues, but you’ll feel drowsy and detached from the procedure. Most patients describe it as feeling like they slept through the entire visit.
Costs vary based on the length of your appointment and the level of sedation needed. We provide clear, upfront pricing before your visit. Wellness Plan members save 55% on IV sedation — one of the most significant savings the plan offers.
We offer prompt scheduling — often within the same week — especially for patients struggling with anxiety or discomfort. Book online or call us at (832) 476-7676.
Before your visit, you’ll need to fast for a set number of hours and arrange for someone to drive you home. After the procedure, plan to rest for the remainder of the day. We’ll provide detailed pre- and post-visit instructions when you schedule.
