Is IV Sedation Right for You?
IV sedation is often recommended for Glen Allen patients with significant dental fear, a strong gag reflex, or a procedure that requires an extended amount of time in the chair. Rather than pushing through discomfort or delaying care altogether, IV sedation allows you to remain deeply relaxed from start to finish. Many patients find that this is the only way they can complete the treatment they have been avoiding for years.
What to Expect During IV Sedation
From the moment your appointment begins, your comfort and safety are our priority. IV sedation is designed to help you feel calm and deeply relaxed throughout your procedure, making it easier to complete dental treatment without the stress or anxiety many patients associate with visiting the dentist.
- Your medical history and treatment plan are reviewed before sedation begins.
- A board-certified anesthesiologist administers the sedative through a small IV line.
- Sedation takes effect quickly, allowing you to relax comfortably within minutes.
- Your breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels are continuously monitored.
- The level of sedation can be adjusted at any point to match your individual needs.
- Most patients have little or no memory of the procedure after it is finished.
- Because the medication can remain in your system for several hours, you'll need a
- responsible adult to drive you home afterward.
