For patients who experience anxiety or discomfort during dental treatments, IV sedation offers a safe and effective way to make dental visits more comfortable. Dr. Amogh Bhalerao and Dr. Margot Metz provide IV sedation to help patients feel at ease and receive necessary care without stress. We use a controlled, tailored approach to sedation, allowing you to feel relaxed and at peace throughout your visit.
How IV Sedation Works
IV sedation is administered intravenously, ensuring a quick response and precise control over the sedation level. This type of sedation typically brings a deep sense of relaxation, and while patients remain conscious, they often feel as though they are in a dream-like state, with little to no memory of the procedure. This approach is particularly beneficial for those with:
- Dental anxiety or phobia
- Sensitive gag reflexes
- Lengthy or complex procedures
- Discomfort sitting still for long periods
Our dentists and team monitor patients closely to ensure a smooth experience, adjusting the sedation level as needed to keep you comfortable and safe.
IV sedation provides many advantages that make it an ideal option for patients seeking a more comfortable dental experience. One of the primary benefits is the rapid onset, allowing patients to feel relaxed within minutes of administration. Additionally, IV sedation offers flexible control over sedation levels, enabling our dentists to adjust it as needed throughout the treatment for maximum comfort. For patients with dental anxiety, IV sedation significantly reduces stress and promotes a calm environment. Many patients also appreciate that they have little to no memory of the procedure, making it a seamless, stress-free experience that encourages ongoing dental care.
