Some patients experience significant anxiety about dental visits. For individuals who require a deeper level of relaxation, we offer IV sedation as a safe and effective option. Dr. Matthew Fraiz, Dr. Brian Fraiz, and Dr. Mallory Griffith are committed to providing a stress-free experience, ensuring that each patient feels comfortable and cared for.
What is IV Sedation?
Intravenous (IV) sedation involves administering medication directly into the bloodstream through a small needle, typically placed in the arm or hand. This method allows the sedative to take effect quickly, creating a deep state of relaxation while allowing the patient to remain responsive to instructions. IV sedation is often referred to as “twilight sedation” because it induces a semi-conscious state.
Who is IV Sedation Ideal For?
- Patients with Moderate to Severe Anxiety: For those who need a higher level of relaxation.
- Extensive Dental Work: Ideal for individuals undergoing complex or multiple procedures.
- Low Pain Threshold: For those with heightened sensitivity to dental treatments.
- Difficulty Staying Still: Perfect for patients who struggle with prolonged appointments.
Benefits of IV Sedation
- Rapid Onset: Takes effect almost immediately after administration.
- Customizable Dosage: Dosage can be adjusted throughout the procedure to maintain the desired level of sedation.
- Minimal Memory of Procedure: Patients often have little to no recollection of the treatment, reducing future anxiety.
- Enhanced Comfort: Ideal for patients undergoing complex or lengthy procedures.
- Quick Recovery: Recovery times are generally shorter compared to other forms of sedation.
