Dental Anesthesia Eases Your Dental Anxiety
Searching for sedation dentistry, otherwise known as dental, or sedation anesthesia near you? If you suffer from dental fear or anxiety, South County Complete Dental Care is the best place to receive your dental treatment. Dr. James Fetsch is one of the few dentists certified to provide IV sedation in St. Louis, MO. With IV sedation, you can relax and remain comfortable throughout their procedures.
When you trust us your care, you’ll enjoy peace of mind. In addition to this, dental anesthesia allows us to combine multiple dental treatments for streamlined treatment. We’ve worked with many patients with severe dental anxiety and undergoing complex dental procedures, and we’re here to help you too.
What to Expect IV Sedation Dentistry
Our IV sedation process is simple and effective. We administer anesthesia through an IV to help reduce anxiety and induce a state of relaxation. Although many remain awake, most patients feel like they’re in a dream state when the anesthesia begins circulating through the body. However, some patients do fall asleep.
You may feel uneasy about undergoing dental procedures, especially if they’re more complex. Our dentist understands that this can be overwhelming for anyone, even if you don’t normally suffer from anxiety. IV sedation allows us to combine multiple treatments for complex procedures such as dental implants [Link to Dental implant] or wisdom teeth removal.

IV Sedation
Dr. Fetsch administers IV sedation for the most complex, invasive dental procedures such as full mouth dental implant placement. Dental anesthesia is a combination of medications that can only be administered by specially trained practitioners in Missouri, like our implant dentist at South County Complete Dental Care.
Oral Sedation
We also provide oral sedation for patients who experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist. With oral sedation, you’ll take a pill before your appointment and feel more relaxed during your treatment. If you’re interested in oral sedation, please let us know when you schedule your appointment, and we’ll be happy to provide you with more information.
Nitrous Oxide
We can administer nitrous oxide (commonly known as “laughing gas”), which you’ll inhale through a mask before your treatment. Throughout your procedure, you’ll stay alert but relaxed. Plus, the effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly once your mask is removed, so you won’t be impaired.
