At Sculpt Center for Implants & Periodontics in McLean, your comfort is as important as your results. We understand that dental implant placement, bone grafting, and other surgical procedures can feel intimidating for many patients. That’s why Dr. Fadi Hasan, a board-certified periodontist, is trained and licensed to provide IV sedation dentistry.
This advanced technique allows you to feel deeply relaxed throughout treatment while remaining safe and monitored at all times.
The Safe and Effective Way to Receive Dental Treatment
IV sedation, also known as conscious sedation, helps patients overcome anxiety and discomfort during complex procedures. Administered through a small IV line, it provides a calm, dreamlike state that allows you to receive the care you need without stress or fear.
Dr. Hasan and our experienced clinical team use precise monitoring equipment to ensure your safety and comfort every step of the way.
“My goal is to make every patient feel at ease from start to finish. With IV sedation, we can create a calm, confident experience, no matter how complex the procedure.”
