IV Sedation Dentistry – Frequently Asked Questions
Serving Naples & Fort Myers, FL
Q: Will I be numb during IV sedation?
A: Yes. You will be fully numb before any dental work begins. A local anesthetic is administered only after you are comfortably sedated, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the procedure.
Q: Will I be monitored during treatment?
A: Absolutely. One of our trained team members remains with you at all times, and your vital signs are continuously monitored for safety during your entire visit.
Q: How long will my IV sedation appointment last?
A: The length of time you are relaxed under sedation depends on the type and complexity of your dental treatment. Our team will review your expected treatment time in advance.
Q: Do I need someone to come with me to my appointment?
A: Yes. Because IV sedation medication causes lingering drowsiness, a responsible adult must accompany you, drive you to your appointment, and take you home afterward.
Q: What if I have more questions about IV sedation?
A: Our friendly treatment coordinators are happy to help. Call My Dental Designs today:

Intravenous (IV) Sedation Dentistry
Are you anxious or fearful about visiting the dentist but still need dental treatment?
Would you prefer to be deeply relaxed—or asleep—during your procedure?
Do certain health conditions make traditional dental treatment more challenging?
Intravenous (IV) sedation makes it possible to receive the dental care you need while remaining comfortable, calm, and at ease. This advanced form of sedation allows patients to rest peacefully throughout a wide range of dental procedures, often with little to no memory of the treatment itself.
At My Dental Designs, IV sedation enables us to safely and effectively perform dental procedures for patients who experience anxiety, have sensitive gag reflexes, or require complex or lengthy treatments. Throughout the entire process, patients are carefully monitored to ensure maximum safety and comfort.
With IV sedation dentistry, you can finally address your dental needs in a relaxed, stress-free way—without fear, discomfort, or anxiety.
Life-Changing Sedation Dentistry in Naples & Fort Myers, FL
If you’ve been postponing years of dental treatment due to fear or anxiety, our advanced sedation dentistry techniques at My Dental Designs can truly change your life.
Because patients are completely relaxed and comfortable, Dr. Padilla can often complete years of dental work in just one or two visits. When it comes to eliminating dental pain, fear, and anxiety, no other approach offers the same level of comfort and efficiency.
Still unsure if sedation dentistry is right for you?
Approximately 15% of patients cannot achieve full numbness using traditional local anesthesia methods taught in dental school. Very few dentists are trained to manage this challenge effectively. For many years, only oral surgeons could offer these advanced techniques—but through extensive training in dental sedation, Dr. Padilla has successfully integrated them into his practice.
With IV sedation dentistry, Dr. Padilla can comfortably perform a wide range of procedures, including:
-
Replacing crowns or dentures
-
Treating infected or diseased gums
-
Whitening stained or discolored teeth
-
Repairing chipped or broken teeth
-
Placing dental implants and performing bone grafting
-
And much more
Sedation dentistry is also ideal for patients with busy schedules, allowing comprehensive dental care to be completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to daily life.
At My Dental Designs, we proudly offer sedation dentistry in Naples and Fort Myers, helping patients overcome fear and finally achieve the healthy, confident smile they deserve.
