Intravenous Sedation
I.V. sedation is the most advanced sedative technique for the comprehensive control of pain and anxiety in dentistry. Intravenous sedation produces a profound state of relaxation. Dr. Gibbs is able to carefully control the amount of sedation required and adjust the level to the individual needs of the patient. In most cases, amnesia is produced and patients will not remember the procedures performed. The intravenous sedation method represents superior pain control.
Less than 2% of general dentists in Illinois have the special training, permit, and licensing issued by the Board of Dental Examiners to perform this advanced sedative technique. Dr. Gibbs has been trained and certified in use of oral (pill) and also intravenous (IV) sedation. He is an early member of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation and a member of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology. Dr, Gibbs has successfully completed dental care and smile makeovers for hundreds of patients using these proven techniques.
