For patients with moderate to severe anxiety, IV Sedation (conscious sedation) is often the best choice as it allows for a deep state of relaxation and typically results in little to no memory of the procedure.

At Mission Peak Dental, we understand that fear can be a major barrier to dental care — especially for patients in Fremont, Hayward, and Union City. That’s why we offer IV sedation as part of our commitment to anxiety-free dentistry. This safe and effective method helps patients receive the care they need without the stress or discomfort that often accompanies a dental visit.

Experience That Puts You at Ease

Dr. Aparna Borole brings over 12 years of experience and has a strong focus on treating patients with dental phobia. Her training includes certification in adult oral sedation and advanced coursework in full-mouth reconstruction, giving her the clinical expertise and empathy to guide anxious patients through complex treatments with confidence.

Alongside her, Dr. Audrey Duong Ta is known for her gentle demeanor and naturally calming presence — often humming quietly during procedures, which many patients say puts them instantly at ease. Together, they’ve created an environment where comfort is just as important as clinical excellence.

Safety You Can Trust

IV sedation is administered and monitored right here in our Fremont office, where patient safety is always the top priority. Throughout your visit, our team carefully monitors vital signs and response levels to ensure you remain in a controlled, deeply relaxed state. You remain conscious but calm — most patients don’t remember the procedure afterward, making it especially helpful for longer or more involved treatments.

We also offer lighter sedation options such as nitrous oxide for those who need a gentler solution. But for patients struggling with extreme dental anxiety, IV sedation remains one of the most effective tools to break the cycle of avoidance and neglect.
