We Offer IV Sedation
For patients who want the deepest level of comfort, UpCare Dental offers IV sedation, administered directly into the bloodstream and monitored by our team throughout your procedure. Most patients sleep through treatment and remember little to nothing about it afterward. IV sedation is especially well-suited for oral surgery, dental implants, extractions, and larger treatment plans where multiple procedures are being completed in one visit.
