IV Conscious Sedation
Here at Full Mouth Implants, we are proud to offer IV sedation. We all know someone who is afraid to go to the dentist. Some people feel a little nervous while others are completely terrified. For this reason, we are proud to offer IV sedation so that all our patients can have a comfortable and positive experience every time they come into our office.
We truly believe you should have the smile you deserve, no matter how scared you are.
When you request sedation dentistry, we will give you a pill about an hour before your procedure. This is used to help you relax, so you will need someone to drive you to your appointment. As soon as you arrive at our office, one of our staff members will take you to a private room for treatment.
Your dentist will place an IV catheter to give you the medication that will put you in a deeper state of relaxation. We will then start your treatment. Once you are finished, you will have a smile that you can be proud of and no memory of the procedure. We can often perform several procedures at once when you are relaxed with IV sedation.
Since IV sedation is not routinely done, we are sure you have plenty of questions that you would like answered before starting treatment. Below are some frequently asked questions (FAQs).
Oral Sedation
With oral conscious sedation, your anxiety will decrease and you’ll feel comfortable during your dental treatment. Rest assured, you will stay conscious throughout the procedure. With this type of sedation, we provide medication that relaxes your body and mind. If you undergo this type of sedation procedure, we ask that you have someone else drive you on the day of your treatment. Nonetheless, the effects of the sedation do not linger, so you will feel alert and back to your normal state again soon after treatment.
