IV (intravenous) sedation is a conscious sedation method designed to help you feel calm and relaxed during your dental procedure. At our office, we prioritize your comfort, and IV sedation is a safe and effective way to reduce anxiety and ensure a stress-free experience. With IV sedation, medication is administered directly into your bloodstream, allowing it to work quickly. You will remain conscious but deeply relaxed, aware of your surroundings and able to follow any instructions given by our dentist.

Before your procedure, we will conduct a thorough consultation to review your medical history, discuss your treatment needs, and determine whether IV sedation is the right option for you. This personalized approach ensures that we consider all factors to keep you safe and comfortable. While IV sedation is highly effective at easing anxiety, it is also very safe. Throughout the entire process, our dentists and team will monitor your vital signs, such as heart rate and blood pressure, to ensure your safety.

After your procedure, it is common for patients to feel as though they have slept through their treatment. You may not remember much about the procedure itself, as IV sedation often leaves you with little to no memory of the experience. This feature makes it an ideal choice for patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing more extensive treatments.

Because IV sedation can leave you feeling drowsy, we require that you arrange for someone to drive you home from your appointment. It is also recommended that a trusted friend or family member stay with you for a few hours after you return home, as the effects of the sedation may linger.
