General Dentistry under IV Sedation
IV Sedation Dentistry
THE ONLY RELIABLE OPTION FOR DENTAL ANXIETY AND DENTAL PHOBIA
Our team has literally completed work on thousands of patients under deep sedation/general anesthesia since 2017. We have seen countless patients neglect their dental health out of fear of the dentist. Previous bad experiences, like not getting numb completely or a strong gag reflex, have caused severe dental anxiety or a dental phobia that prevents them from seeking the care they need. Anxious patients often come to us when neglect of a simple dental problem has gotten worse to the point where their pain level prevents them from functioning normally on a daily basis and nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation or moderate IV sedation have failed.
Story City Dental is the only general dentistry office in the state of Iowa offering all services under IV sedation — this includes cleanings, fillings, crowns, surgical extractions, root canals, and removal of complex fully impacted wisdom teeth, or combinations of these procedures. At our office, you can literally complete ALL desired dental care in one appointment while you sleep*.
*We are case selective in both the types of teeth needing root canals AND number of teeth needing root canals under IV sedation. Dr Binkowski uses a dental microscope for root canals, general dentistry, and has completed AEGD training to do so (not weekend courses). However, in some cases when access to a tooth is very difficult (limited patient opening), or the internal anatomy of the tooth is very abnormal, it is simply more efficient and a better use our patients resources and sedation time to have certain teeth or a large number of teeth that need root canals completed by Dr Wicker (endodontist- specialist, in Cedar Rapids who also uses CRNAs for IV sedation). Prior to completing a root canal under IV sedation, Dr Binkowski needs to review a 3D image of the tooth that could be provided by your home office or taken here PRIOR TO YOUR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. We have worked closely with Dr Wicker at Cedar Rapids Endodontics in coordinating complex, extensive endodontic treatment that needs to be completed under IV sedation where difficulty of that treatment falls outside the abilities of Dr Binkowski. Dr Wicker is the only Endodontist in the state with an IV sedation permit. Like us, he uses CRNAs for the IV sedation to provide the same level of sedation we provide. He has no limit on the number of root canals that can be completed in one appointment.
There’s no reason to let dental anxiety prevent you from getting the care you deserve —
