IV Sedation Dentistry in Federal Way

Deep Sleep Dentistry for Complex Procedures & Severe Dental Phobia

Let's talk about your smile!

It is our commitment to active listening, ensuring your comfort and vision drive every step of your dental journey.




When severe dental phobia, complex oral surgery, or full-mouth dental implant rehabilitation stands in your way, Intravenous (IV) Sedation offers the deepest, most predictable level of comfort available in an outpatient dental setting.

At Federal Way Dental Excellence, Board-Certified Prosthodontist Dr. Michael Yeh and our surgical team provide hospital-grade IV sedation right in our Federal Way office—allowing you to drift into peaceful sleep and wake up with your dental treatment already finished.


IV Sedation Dentistry in Federal Way

Instant, precision-controlled deep relaxation

Because anti-anxiety and sedative medications are delivered directly into your bloodstream through a tiny, comfortable IV line, the calming effect is virtually instantaneous.

Unlike oral pills that have a fixed absorption rate, IV sedation allows our doctors to precisely adjust your depth of sedation throughout the appointment—ensuring optimal comfort whether your procedure takes 45 minutes or several hours.



Safe Sleep Dentistry
Hospital-grade monitoring & 0% interest financing *

Your safety is our highest priority. Throughout IV sedation, we continuously monitor your EKG, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels using advanced clinical monitoring equipment.

Need wisdom teeth extractions, bone grafting, or full-arch dental implants with IV sedation? We offer flexible 0% interest financing plans to make your complete care affordable.

* Some restrictions may apply. See office for more details.

"Dr. Jackie, Jeremy & assistant Maria were absolutely the best dentists ever!! I was really nervous as I hadn’t been to a good dentist in years and right away I felt at ease during my root canal procedures. They were all super gentle and attentive and very kind. I would recommend them to all my friends, family and strangers in a heartbeat. Love the staff, a star team, thank you sooooo much!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Be in the know

The questions below cover essential details about Federal Way Dental Excellence, our specialist doctors, and practice policies. If you have questions regarding specific dental procedures, feel free to explore our dedicated service pages or contact our Federal Way team directly at (253) 838-1225.




Will I remember anything after IV sedation?
No. IV sedation produces profound anterograde amnesia for the duration of the procedure. Patients wake up feeling as though no time has passed and have no recollection of sights, sounds, or sensations.
How should I prepare for an IV sedation appointment?
You must not eat or drink anything (including water) for at least 6 to 8 hours prior to your scheduled appointment, unless instructed otherwise for essential medications. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and short sleeves.
Can I go home right after IV sedation?
After your procedure, you will rest briefly in our recovery area while our team monitors you. Once you are stable and alert, your designated adult driver can take you home to rest for the remainder of the day.
Is IV sedation safe?
Yes. Before scheduling IV sedation, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history, current medications, and vital signs. During treatment, your airway, oxygenation, heart rhythm, and blood pressure are continuously monitored.
