What Is IV Sedation?

IV sedation, also known as conscious sedation, involves administering sedative medications directly into your bloodstream through an IV line. This method allows for rapid onset and precise control over your level of sedation. Patients often feel deeply relaxed and may drift into a light sleep during the procedure, making it an ideal option for those with severe dental anxiety. While under IV sedation, you will remain conscious and able to respond to instructions, but you may not remember much of the experience afterward.

Benefits of IV Sedation for Oral Surgery

Patients who undergo IV sedation often experience the following benefits:

• Rapid Relaxation: The sedative takes effect quickly, helping you feel calm and relaxed in the dental chair.
• Tailored Experience: Our skilled oral surgeons can adjust the level of sedation throughout your surgical procedure to ensure your comfort.
• Minimal Memory of Procedure: Many patients report little to no memory of their treatment, reducing anxiety associated with future dental appointments.
• Effective Pain Management: Sedation dentistry provides significant pain relief, allowing you to undergo necessary procedures without discomfort.

Who Can Benefit from IV Sedation?

IV sedation is ideal for various patients, including:

• Those with dental anxiety or a fear of dental procedures
• Patients undergoing extensive treatments or multiple procedures
• Individuals with a low pain threshold or difficulty sitting still in the dental chair
• Patients with special needs requiring additional support during their treatment
