Types of Sedation at Smile Spa Camarillo Dentistry
IV Sedation
For deep relaxation, IV sedation is administered directly into your bloodstream, placing you in an almost sleep-like state. You’ll feel no anxiety or discomfort, and many patients have little to no memory of the procedure. Our experienced, certified dentists monitor you closely throughout your visit. Recovery is gradual, and you'll need someone to drive you home afterward.
Oral Sedation
Taken before your appointment in the form of prescription medication, oral sedation helps you feel calm and at ease while remaining conscious—an ideal option for moderate anxiety or longer procedures while still allowing you to respond to simple instructions.

What Are the Side Effects of Sedation Dentistry in Camarillo, CA?
Side effects are usually mild and short-lived, and may include grogginess, slight dizziness, dry mouth, or temporary memory of little about the procedure.

At Smile Spa Camarillo Dentistry, Dr. Shawn and Dr. Joelle monitor you closely throughout your visit and explain exactly what to expect so you feel fully informed.
How Long Does It Take to Recover From Sedation Dentistry?
Recovery depends on the type of sedation used, with oral and IV sedation taking several hours to fully wear off, which is why you'll need someone to drive you home afterward.
