Who gives your IV sedation
Dr. Godko Gives Your IV Sedation Himself
Who actually sedates you? At Deluxe it’s Dr. Godko himself, so your comfort level is set by a dentist who knows your plan. The ADA explains how anesthesia and sedation are used in dentistry.
-
Certified in all three levels
Dr. Maxim Godko is certified in IV, oral and nitrous oxide sedation, so the level is chosen for you, not for the office.
-
Given by Dr. Godko himself
He places the IV and gives the sedation in the same visit as your treatment. No second provider to schedule.
-
The right level for you
At your personalized consultation he goes over all three levels and recommends the one that fits your treatment and comfort.
-
With you start to finish
He stays with you through the whole procedure, from the first minute to the last.
Is IV sedation right for you?
Who IV sedation helps most
IV sedation isn’t only for extreme fear. It helps anyone who finds dental care hard to get through, and anyone with a lot of work to do. Dr. Godko decides whether it suits you at your personalized consultation.
Severe dental anxiety
For people who have put off care for years because of fear or a bad past experience.
A strong gag reflex
A deep, sleep-like state makes treatment far easier when gagging gets in the way.
Long or complex treatment
Implant surgery, several extractions or full-arch work, done while you rest.
Several treatments at once
More of your treatment finished in fewer appointments, so you come back less often.
Very sensitive teeth
For people who find even routine numbing and dental work hard to tolerate.
Trouble sitting still
For anyone who finds it hard to stay in the chair through a long appointment.

Step through it. Every part is talked over with Dr. Godko before your appointment.
Three levels of sedation
How IV sedation compares with oral sedation and nitrous oxide
Deluxe offers all three levels of sedation, and Dr. Godko gives each one himself. IV sedation is the deepest.
Nitrous oxide
The lightest level. You breathe it through a small nose mask and feel calm and relaxed. See nitrous oxide.
Oral sedation
A moderate level from a pill taken before your visit. You feel drowsy and deeply relaxed. See oral sedation.
IV sedation
The deepest level offered in the office: a deep, sleep-like state through a small IV line.
Why IV
Fine-tuned as your treatment goes
What sets IV sedation apart is control. Dr. Godko can deepen or lighten your sedation in real time, holding you at the right level for each stage of the procedure. A sedation pill can’t be fine-tuned the same way once it’s taken.
It’s the deepest level of sedation in the office, and a natural fit for implant surgery and severe dental anxiety.
- Local numbing as well
- More treatment in fewer visits
Where IV sedation is used
Treatment people choose to sleep through
IV sedation is offered for the care people put off longest.
- 1 Full arch dental implants The most popular choice for full arch, with every surgery performed by Dr. Godko himself.
- 2 Full mouth reconstruction Extensive work across the whole mouth, done while you rest in a deep, sleep-like state.
- 3 Wisdom teeth removal Nitrous, oral and IV sedation are all available for wisdom teeth.
- 4 Tooth extraction Patients rarely remember the procedure, and the area is numbed as well.
- 5 Root canal Any of the three levels for a calmer root canal.
- 6 Dental emergencies All three levels for patients in pain or distress.

“Had 4 teeth pulled 1 crown and had a partial all in one sitting. Of course, I sleep through the whole thing. Had no real discomfort the following days.”
“Dr. Godko did about 3 years worth of work in 10 months. 3 cracked teeth, 4 wisdom teeth removed, 2 implants … The process was NERVE WRACKING. But they kept me informed and reassured and his work is amazing.”
“My fear of dentists left me neglecting my teeth for over 20 years. … As my fear was a real concern, Dr. Godko offered sedation for my procedure. … Dr. Godko has changed my life”
“I needed sedation dentistry for lots of reasons including pain, anxiety etc. Dr Godko is wonderful and took care of all my dental issues using sedation dentistry when necessary. He’s my dentist now and I’m not scared anymore.”
“I was researching sedation dentistry … how nervous I was about the pain, and I knew I had to be sedated. Dr Godko and his staff made me feel so calm … I’m almost done with my new smile … and I don’t regret it.”
“I made an appointment here for sedation extractions. I have needed them for over a year but due to anxiety I put it off. From the moment I stepped into the office I felt at ease.”
“I have very bad dental anxiety and they have worked with me every step of the way and have been so very accommodating. From general cleanings to sedation procedures. I will never go anywhere else.”
“So happy to have found deluxe dental as I have severe dental anxiety. They kept me comfortable and calm.”
