IV Sedation

IV sedation is an effective solution for managing dental anxiety and ensuring patients remain relaxed during their dental procedures. At Select Dental Office, we specialize in providing intravenous sedation to help make your dental experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

What is IV Sedation?

‍IV sedation involves the administration of sedative drugs through a vein, allowing for rapid onset and deep relaxation. It is particularly suitable for patients who:

• Experience high levels of dental anxiety.
• Are undergoing extensive or multiple dental procedures in one visit.
• Have a low pain threshold or difficulty sitting still for prolonged periods.
• Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past.

Benefits of IV Sedation

• Deep Relaxation: Patients typically feel deeply relaxed but remain conscious and can still respond to verbal cues.
• Amnesia Effect: Most patients have little to no memory of the procedure after it is completed.
• Controlled and Customizable: The level of sedation can be adjusted during the procedure to ensure maximum comfort.
• Safety: Administered by experienced professionals, IV sedation is both safe and effective.

The IV Sedation Process

1. Pre-Treatment Consultation: We assess your medical history and discuss your anxiety and treatment needs. This consultation helps us determine if IV sedation is right for you.
2. Day of the Procedure: You should arrive with a companion who can take you home after the procedure. We set up a small needle in a vein in your arm or hand through which medication will be administered.
3. During the Procedure: You will quickly begin to feel relaxed. Our team continuously monitors your vital signs and comfort levels throughout the treatment.
4. Recovery: After the procedure, you will need some time to recover as the effects of the sedative wear off. You will not be able to drive for the rest of the day and should plan for rest.
