Sedation

Intravenous (IV) sedation is used to provide deep relaxation and comfort to patients during dental procedures. Administered by a trained anesthesiologist or dentist, IV sedation involves the direct delivery of sedative medications into the patient’s bloodstream through an intravenous line.

This allows for precise control over the level of sedation, ensuring the patient remains in a state of twilight consciousness, responsive to commands but significantly less aware of the procedure’s details. IV sedation is particularly beneficial for patients with severe dental anxiety, complex dental needs, or those undergoing extensive oral surgeries. It not only minimizes discomfort and anxiety but also helps the dental team work efficiently and safely. Dental procedures that might otherwise be too challenging for patients can be performed with confidence and minimal patient distress.
