IV (intravenous) sedation is a valuable option for patients who experience anxiety and stress during their dental visits, offering a way for you to receive necessary dental care while feeling relaxed and comfortable. Unlike general anesthesia, IV sedation is a form of conscious sedation, which means that while you will be completely relaxed you will remain aware of your surroundings and be able to follow instructions provided by our dentists and team.

Before administering IV sedation, our dedicated dentists will conduct a thorough one-on-one consultation with you. During this consultation, we will review your medical history, discuss your specific dental needs, and assess any relevant factors to determine if IV sedation is the most suitable option for your situation. Your safety and wellbeing are our top priorities.

IV sedation is highly effective because it delivers medication directly into your bloodstream, ensuring a rapid and precise onset of relaxation. While this form of sedation is considered very safe, we maintain continuous monitoring throughout your dental procedure to ensure your comfort and to promptly address any unforeseen complications. Many patients report feeling as though they have peacefully slept through their treatment, with only vague memories of the details.

For your safety, we recommend that you arrange for someone to accompany you to your appointment, as you will be unable to drive yourself home after the procedure. Additionally, we advise having someone stay with you for several hours post-procedure until the effects of the sedation have completely worn off.
