IV Sedation

If You Suffer From Dental Anxiety…

Experience the Miracle of IV Sedation

With effective techniques in IV sedation dentistry, New York dental specialists at Smile in the City can help improve your smile without the pain or discomfort commonly associated with certain dental procedures. Patients who suffer from dental anxiety or who simply feel uncomfortable at the dentist’s office no longer have to be nervous. The certified sedation experts at Smile in the City will ensure every patient’s experience in the dentist’s chair is comfortable and relaxing.

A Relaxing Dental Experience

Feeling uneasy about dental procedures – from routine cleanings to lengthy treatments – is normal and common in many patients. Whether you suffer from panic attacks or have had traumatic dental experiences in the past, the specialists at Smile in the City can help ease your nerves and make you feel as comfortable as possible. IV sedation is a mild form of anesthesia that relaxes you and leaves you with little to no memory of the procedure afterward.

At Smile in the City, we understand that dental fear can have a major impact on the health of your teeth, leading to embarrassment or low self-esteem. With IV sedation, gentle, no-drill procedures and a friendly staff, our dentists not only improve your dental health, but boost your confidence and give you something to smile about. 

We’re Experts in IV Sedation Dentistry

Most other dentists who offer "sedation" have minimal training and can only
provide their patients with a pill 1-2 hours before their appointment. However, the results are unpredictable, often providing a very light sedation.

Why IV sedation is better:

  • More reliable, immediate results
  • Complete relaxation and comfort during procedure
  • Quick and less painful recovery than with oral sedation
  • Expert treatment administered by a certified IV dentist

Smile in the City sedation dentist, Dr. Joseph Zelig, holds a permit in IV sedation from the New York State Board of Dentistry. Call now to make an appointment with a top sedation dentist. New York specialists at Smile in the City look forward to hearing from you.

Testimonials from our patients who have received I.V. Sedation:

“All my past visits to any dentist have been filled with anxiety, dread, and overall fear. First off, the entire staff at Smile in the City was confident and pleasant and gave me a most comfortable feeling. Dr. Zelig and Dr. Schmidt were truly professional and compassionate. Their procedures were perfectly orchestrated and the most relaxing and totally pain free process I had ever experienced. I don’t know why I didn’t look sooner. They can expect a life-time patient. Thank you all.”

“Dr. Z is one of a kind!! & his office is made up of some of the most caring & gentle people I have come to know whilst being in NYC. I am from South Africa, but living in NYC as a model. Until meeting him and his colleagues, I had always avoided going to the dentist, as I HAD a terrible fear, which began as a child. I never faced it, until on a flight back to the states after a job, I felt my tooth start to ache so badly, I knew I had to see one, so when I got back I googled Dentist that do I.V sedation in NYC, as I knew this would be the only way I would have a procedure. After reading many testimonials, viewing the website & seeing pictures of his office, I could tell it offered a calming ambience & didn't come across as a cold dentistry office. I called to make an appointment. On the day of it everyone was so kind & could tell I was so nervous so spoke to me in such a way that it lifted my spirits and made me relax. It turned out I needed a root canal. Dr Z. kept his promise to me and never began anything till I was completely relaxed, he gave me beautiful calming music to listen to & then the I.V sedation. I never felt a thing! :) I was amazed, and NO swelling the next day!!! He is the BEST!! :)”
