If you are a nervous patient, sedation will induce a state of deep relaxation, and you will remember little or nothing about your treatment afterwards.
I have over 35 years experience in the provision of intravenous sedation, and our Practice is fully equipped with the latest monitoring devices so that we can keep a careful eye on you at all stages of treatment. This technique enables you to experience modern dentistry in a relaxed manner, free from stress and anxiety.
It’s understandable that you might avoid coming in for check-ups and treatments if you’ve had a bad experience at the dentist in the past – but rest assured that today’s dentistry is a world away from what it was even a decade ago. Thanks to advances in technology, treatments are less invasive, and pain relief is more accurate and efficient than ever before.
IV sedation, also referred to as conscious sedation, involves the administration of a sedative to induce relaxation and drowsiness, alongside local anesthesia and gentle verbal reassurance.
By combining these three components, patients can experience a state of induced relaxation during their treatment, and often have minimal recollection of the procedure afterwards.
This method is not only highly safe, but also remarkably effective, providing a considerable reduction in stress levels and instilling greater reassurance during dental procedures.
