IV Sedation

We offer IV sedation as a safe and effective option to help you relax during your periodontal treatment. Administered intravenously by our experienced team, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation compared to oral sedatives or nitrous oxide, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

What is IV Sedation?
IV sedation, also known as intravenous sedation, involves delivering sedative medication directly into your bloodstream through a small IV line in your arm or hand. This allows for precise control over the level of sedation, helping you achieve a calm, dream-like state while staying responsive if needed. You'll feel drowsy and relaxed, with little to no memory of the procedure afterward—perfect for longer or more complex treatments like gum surgery or dental implants.

Benefits of IV Sedation

• Reduced Anxiety: Ideal for patients with dental phobia, sensitive gag reflexes, or those undergoing extensive procedures.
• Quick Onset and Adjustable: The effects begin almost immediately, and our team can adjust the dosage in real-time for optimal comfort.
• Faster Recovery: Most patients recover quickly after the procedure, often feeling alert within an hour or two, though you'll need a companion to drive you home.
• Enhanced Comfort: It minimizes discomfort and allows us to complete treatments efficiently in fewer visits.
