Dr. Hank Michael is one of only a few Sarasota dentists permitted to provide intravenous conscious sedation here in Sarasota. Whether it’s dental fear or the need for more extensive dental surgical procedures such as dental implants or dental extractions, you can rest assured that you will be completely comfortable utilizing I.V. sedation by this Sarasota dentist. I.V. conscious sedation is much safer than general anesthesia since the patient continues to maintain his/her own airway at all times during the dental procedure. This type of dental sedation usually leaves patients with no memory of the dental experience and a feeling of being well rested instead of worn out and anxious. If you feel you may be a candidate for I.V. sedation, please contact our office at 941-929-7645.
