IV Sedation Dentistry in Atlanta
Finally, dental care with zero anxiety — and zero memory of the appointment.
If you've been avoiding the dentist because of fear, anxiety, or past trauma — IV sedation may be the solution that changes everything.
IV sedation uses intravenous medication to put you in a deeply relaxed, semi-conscious state during your dental appointment. You're completely comfortable, and most patients have little to no memory of the procedure afterward.
Atlanta Dental Spa is one of the only practices in Atlanta offering IV sedation at all five locations — Buckhead, Johns Creek, East Cobb, Brookhaven, and Poncey-Highland. Dr. King primarily practices at the Buckhead location but oversees sedation protocols across the entire practice.

What to Expect
Before Your Appointment
We'll review your medical history, discuss your concerns, and provide clear pre-appointment instructions. You'll fast for a few hours beforehand and arrange a driver to take you home.
During Sedation
A small IV is placed and the sedative takes effect within minutes. You'll feel deeply relaxed and comfortable. Our team monitors your vitals continuously throughout the entire procedure.
After Your Appointment
You'll rest briefly in our recovery area, then your driver takes you home. Most patients feel back to normal within a few hours. Many say it felt like the appointment lasted only minutes.
Safety You Can Trust
Dr. King is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI) and has administered IV sedation in hundreds of complex cases. All IV sedation at Atlanta Dental Spa follows strict safety protocols with continuous monitoring throughout every procedure.
