From fillings to removing wisdom teeth, we ensure that every patient’s experience is comfortable and positive. IV (intravenous) sedation is a conscious sedation treatment, though patients have been known to fall asleep after receiving it. This option delivers medication directly into your bloodstream to help you relax and feel comfortable while visiting the dentist. You’ll be aware of where you are and what’s happening, and you’ll be able to follow any instructions provided by our dentists.
What to Expect
Before you receive this treatment, you’ll meet with our dentists for a one-on-one consultation to discuss your medical history, dental needs, and other relevant factors to determine if IV sedation is the right choice for you. If you receive this treatment, you’ll be carefully monitored throughout your entire appointment to ensure there are no complications. IV sedation is very safe, and there’s generally no cause for concern.
You’ll need to bring someone with you to the appointment to drive you home. We also recommend having someone available to stay with you for a few hours after you arrive home. IV sedation is often used for more involved procedures, including oral surgery or extensive prosthodontic work.
