Sleep/IV Sedation Dentistry involves the use of sedation methods to help patients relax during dental procedures. While you remain conscious and responsive, sedation induces a deep state of calm and comfort.
  • IV Sedation: Delivered intravenously, this form of sedation works quickly, allowing precise adjustments to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
  • Oral Sedation: Taken as a prescribed medication before your appointment, this approach promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety.
At Clove Dental in Ventura, our team ensures that your sedation experience is safe, effective, and tailored to your unique needs, allowing you to receive the dental care you need without fear or discomfort.
