At Leading Edge Dental, we offer a range of anesthesia and sedation options to make your visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether you are here for a routine filling or a complex procedure, our Leesburg, FL team works to eliminate pain and ease dental anxiety, including IV sedation provided by Dr. Vaziri. Call (352) 365-6442 to discuss your options.
Local Anesthesia for a Pain-Free Experience
The most common form of comfort care we use is local anesthesia, which temporarily blocks nerve signals in a specific area of the mouth. To make the experience painless from the very start, we apply a gentle topical anesthetic to the surface before administering the local numbing agent. Local anesthesia is used for treatments such as fillings, crowns, and root canals.
Advanced Sedation Options for Total Comfort
For patients with significant anxiety or those needing extensive restorative work, we offer conscious sedation, including IV sedation. Dr. Vaziri is highly trained in administering these safe, effective methods, which allow you to stay awake and responsive while remaining deeply relaxed. Sedation reduces your awareness of the procedure, eases physical tension, and enhances overall comfort.
- Inhaled sedation: Often called laughing gas, it provides light relaxation that wears off quickly after your procedure.
- Oral sedation: A prescribed medication taken before your appointment to create a calm, drowsy state.
- IV sedation: The most predictable and effective method for moderate to deep relaxation, allowing multiple procedures to be completed in one visit.
Treatments That Pair Well With Sedation
Sedation is especially helpful for longer or more involved procedures, including dental implant placement, tooth extractions and wisdom tooth removal, deep cleanings, and full-mouth restorations with immediate dentures. It also allows patients who have avoided the dentist for years to catch up on needed care efficiently.

Sedation Dentistry FAQs
What types of sedation do you offer?
We offer topical and local anesthesia, inhaled sedation (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation, tailored to your needs and medical history.
Will I be unconscious during IV sedation?
No. IV sedation is a form of conscious sedation. You remain able to respond to verbal cues while feeling deeply relaxed, and many patients remember little of the visit.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes. Dr. Vaziri is highly trained in administering sedation, and we review your medical history and monitor you throughout your procedure.
Who is a good candidate for sedation?
Patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, difficulty getting numb, or those needing extensive treatment are often good candidates.
Can I drive home after sedation?
After laughing gas, most patients can drive. After oral or IV sedation, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home.
Can I have several procedures done while sedated?
Yes. IV sedation often allows us to complete multiple treatments, such as extractions and implant placement, in one visit.
Do you use a topical numbing gel before injections?
Yes. We apply a gentle topical anesthetic before local anesthesia so the injection is more comfortable.
