Dr. Kim reviews your medical history to determine the most appropriate dental anesthesia approach for your procedure.
IV sedation or general anesthesia is administered and continuously monitored using advanced equipment throughout your appointment.
Your endodontic treatment proceeds while you remain comfortable and relaxed, with Dr. Kim present at all times.
You’ll rest comfortably as the anesthesia clears. A responsible adult must accompany you home following your appointment.
Your Liv provider will be in touch to confirm your recovery and answer any post-procedure questions.
1. Comfort during treatment
Dental anesthesia removes the anxiety and discomfort that can make procedures feel overwhelming, allowing treatment to proceed smoothly.
Anesthesia opens the door to dental care for patients who may not otherwise tolerate treatment — including those with severe dental phobia, sensory sensitivities, or complex medical histories.
Dental anesthesia allows your endodontist to perform thorough, uninterrupted treatment in a single visit rather than multiple shorter appointments.

Dr. Kim brings hospital-based anesthesia training and over 2,000 administered cases to every appointment, with real-time patient monitoring throughout.
