INTRAVENOUS SEDATION DENTISTRY (Sleep Dentistry)

INTRAVENOUS SEDATION FOR THE PATIENT WITH DENTAL ANXIETY, GAGGING RESPONSE, OR CLAUSTROPHOBIA.

Since 1991 we have treated hundreds of patients with IV sedation (sleep dentistry) having anxiety, dental phobias, gag responses, or whom just want to be very comfortable during dental treatment. It’s the only office in Ventura County specifically built for sedation dentistry.

IV Sedation is $450

You’ll find that most offices change from $600 to $800 for IV sedation. Our fee is all inclusive and is not based on how long you are sedated.

Richard A. Gagne, DDS

Dr. Gagne actually has the special permit issued by the Dental Board to perform Intravenous Sedation in California! Less than 1% of general dentists have such a license. He performs the sedation himself. He does not need to bring a dental anesthesiologist into the office.

Many dental websites talk about sedation. But few dentists actually have the licensure to actually provide the sedation. They have to bring in another dentist that has the license to perform sedation.

Our office was designed from the ground up to provide dental sedation of all types. The treatment rooms are very large to accommodate all the monitors and equipment needed to perform especially IV Sedation. Nitrous oxide delivery system was built in to the wall.

Most dental offices were simply not designed to do any type of sedation. The treatment rooms are cramped and access to the rooms is hindered in an emergency.

Experience counts. Dr. Gagne has been licensed to perform Intravenous Sedation since 1991. He is the most experienced sedation dentist in Ventura, Santa Barbara counties. He has treated hundreds of patients with IV, oral, and nitrous oxide sedation.

Most dentists doing sedation simply do not have the experience that Dr Gagne has. When comparing offices, you need to ask what his/her training is!

IV Sedation for the scared dental patient and those with dental anxiety

Intravenous (IV) Sedation allows comprehensive control of pain & anxiety in dentistry.

IV Sedation uses sedative drugs that are delivered through the blood stream. Intravenous Sedation’s superior results make it the method of choice for the treatment of the highly fearful patient and those patients that want to be very comfortable during treatment. Because of the kinds of drugs used for sleep dentistry and the method of their delivery, Intravenous Sedation allows the dentist to control the drugs’ effects precisely. We utilize one of the most advanced drug delivery systems available today.

IV Sedation for the scared dental patient and those with dental anxiety

Dr. Gagne has a Conscious Sedation Permit issued by the Dental Board of California.

Dr. Gagne has been performing Intravenous Sedation since 1991. He is the most experienced sedation dentist in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. Intravenous Sedation is an advanced sedative technique, that’s far different from the oral sedation methods other offices advertise.
