IV Sedation Dentistry
Jax Beaches Family Dentistry
The Beaches' Exclusive Provider of IV Sedation for General Dentistry
If dental anxiety has kept you from getting the care you need, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. At Jacksonville Beaches Family Dentistry, we’re proud to be the only general dentistry practice in the Beaches area offering IV sedation dentistry for patients who need extra comfort and peace of mind during treatment.
What is IV Sedation Dentistry?
Intravenous (IV) sedation is a form of conscious sedation that allows patients to relax deeply during dental procedures while remaining responsive to verbal cues. It’s administered through a small IV line, delivering fast-acting, carefully monitored medication to help you feel calm, comfortable, and free from fear.
Unlike oral sedation or nitrous oxide, IV sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation and allows our team to adjust the level of sedation in real-time. It’s ideal for patients with:
- High dental anxiety or phobia
- A sensitive gag reflex
- Difficulty getting numb
- Complex or lengthy procedures
- Past traumatic dental experiences
Why Choose Jacksonville Beaches Family Dentistry?
Not every dentist is qualified to offer IV sedation—but our training, credentials, and commitment to patient-centered care set us apart. Dr. Michelle and our clinical team have completed the rigorous education and certification required to safely and effectively administer IV sedation.
We are proud to be one of the few dental offices in North Florida to offer this service—and the only general dental practice at the Beaches where patients can receive IV sedation without being referred to a specialist.
That means:
- You stay with the team you know and trust
- You receive care in a familiar, supportive environment
- You get the treatments you need—without fear
