What is IV Sedation?

IV sedation is administered through a small IV line, usually in your arm or hand. The dentist or anesthetist can carefully adjust the medication levels so you are always relaxed throughout your treatment.

You will experience extreme calmness and a sense of peace during the procedure, and many patients have little or no recollection of the treatment afterwards. You will be responsive enough to respond to any verbal cues the dentist gives, but you are not aware enough to experience any anxiety or discomfort.

As effects can last a few hours, we ask that you have a designated driver ready to drive you home from your appointment.
