Sleep Dentistry / IV Sedation
Comfort and Care for Anxiety-Free Dental Visits in Oklahoma City
At Masterpiece Smiles, we understand that dental anxiety and fear can prevent many from seeking the care they need. That’s why we offer IV and conscious sedation options to help patients feel completely at ease. With sleep dentistry, you’ll be in a deeply relaxed state throughout your appointment – our expert dentists complete your treatment while you remain comfortable, and you’ll wake with little to no memory of the procedure.
“I LOVE this place!!! I have anxiety about the dentist and no one has ever been more accommodating towards me. They even gave me extra time to calm down before starting, explained everything thoroughly, and made me feel so comfortable during my entire visit. Truly the best dental experience I’ve ever had!”

Roland
“I was referred to this office by another dental office because I had a bit too much anxiety over the dental work I needed. I am so glad I came! Everyone I have encountered at this office have been kind, caring, and cheerful! It has been a fantastic experience. If you need a good dentist, come here. You won’t regret it.”

What is Sleep Dentistry / IV Sedation?
Sleep Dentistry, also known as IV sedation, helps you stay calm and relaxed during dental treatment. You’re not fully asleep, but in a deeply relaxed state – most patients remember little or nothing afterward.

Unlike oral sedation or nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”), IV sedation offers a more controlled and profound sedation experience, allowing you to “sleep” through your treatment while remaining safe and monitored.
