What Is IV Sedation?

Benefits of IV Sedation
- Rapid Onset: Since the sedative is delivered intravenously, it takes effect quickly, typically within minutes.
- Enhanced Comfort: IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation compared to other methods, making it ideal for patients with dental phobias or those undergoing complex procedures.
- Reduced Gag Reflex: This sedation method can help suppress the gag reflex, facilitating smoother dental treatments.
- Amnesic Effect: Many patients have little to no memory of the procedure, contributing to a more positive dental experience.
- Efficiency: The profound relaxation achieved allows our dental team to perform multiple treatments in a single visit, saving you time and reducing the number of appointments needed.
Is IV Sedation Right for You?
IV sedation is particularly beneficial for individuals who:
- Experience significant dental anxiety or fear.
- Have a low pain threshold.
- Require extensive dental work.
- Have a strong gag reflex.
- Struggle with sitting still for extended periods.
Our experienced dental professionals will assess your medical history and individual needs to determine if IV sedation is appropriate for your treatment plan.
