What is Intravenous-Sedation?

A great many patients who avoid dental care because of fear or apprehension may, through the use of various anesthetic techniques, undergo treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe state. We use intravenous-sedation which is both easy to administer and pleasant to receive. This technique, which has a rapid onset, diminishes fear and anxiety and produces a pleasant state of relaxation. It will enable you to undergo your dental treatment in a very calm and relaxed manner. Time will seem to pass more quickly and your recall of events will be reduced.

There are many other advantages of dental anesthesia. Anxiety toward dental treatment is the leading cause of medical emergencies in the dental office. Intravenous-sedation reduces the chance of adverse reaction by significantly reducing or eliminating moderate to severe apprehension levels. Additionally, intravenous-sedation often enables the dentist to perform a variety of procedures, that would ordinarily take several appointments, during one sitting. Because intravenous-sedation minimizes apprehension, it permits your dentist to work more efficiently and with more concentration.

The procedure is designed specifically for your comfort and safety during dental care. A fully trained and qualified dentist anesthesiologist administers the anesthetic, monitors vital functions and maintains patient comfort during the dental procedure.
