Intravenous (IV) conscious sedation is a relaxant that helps you relax for your dental examination, or for a dental procedure.

Within seconds, the sedative brings about feelings of deep relaxation and reduces your nerves and anxiety.

IV Sedation: Fast Facts

  • Relaxes nervous patients.
  • Minimal ‘grogginess’ after treatment.
  • Recommended for patients with a strong gag reflex.
  • Makes lengthy procedures go more quickly.
  • Helps you build confidence for future dentist visits.
  • Minimal to no awareness of your surroundings.

FAQs

Which Treatments Can Sedation Be Used With?

We can implement IV sedation with virtually any procedure. If you’re particularly nervous, we can even sedate you for your routine check-up. This is especially beneficial for patients who have harboured a longstanding phobia of the dentist, and who may not have visited for a little while.

Our clinical team will treat you with the utmost respect, never judging and only ever helping and supporting you.

How Does IV Sedation Work?

The intravenous nature of the sedative means it reaches the brain quickly, taking effect in a matter of seconds. The Midazolam sedative we use has amnesic characteristics, so you are unlikely to remember most of your procedure. IV sedation is extremely low-risk and has been used to relax phobic patients for decades.

Throughout the whole process, you will be closely monitored by a sedation dentist, who will work alongside the dentist performing your given procedure. On some occasions, the sedation dentist is also the dental practitioner carrying out your treatment.

Your blood pressure, vitals, and reaction to the sedative will be scrutinised, so you can be sure you are in attentive and responsible hands.
