IV Sedation Dentistry

IV sedation dentistry involves the administration of a sedative through an intravenous line, ensuring a deeper state of relaxation compared to other forms of sedation. This method allows for real-time adjustment of sedation levels, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout your procedure.

• Deep Relaxation: Helps patients with significant dental anxiety stay calm and stress-free.
• Pain-Free Experience: Minimizes discomfort during procedures.
• Quick Onset: Sedation takes effect quickly and can be precisely controlled.
• Amnesic Effect: Most patients have little or no memory of the procedure, enhancing comfort.

At Russo Family Dentistry & Aesthetics, we make your IV sedation experience as comfortable as possible:

1. Initial Consultation: We assess your medical history and discuss whether IV sedation is suitable for you.
2. Preparation: On the day of your procedure, our team will place an IV line to administer the sedative safely.
3. Continuous Monitoring: Throughout the treatment, we monitor your vital signs to ensure safety and make real-time sedation adjustments as needed.
4. Recovery Guidance: Post-procedure, you’ll receive instructions for recovery and will need someone to drive you home.

IV sedation is an excellent choice for patients who:

• Experience severe dental anxiety.
• Need extensive or multiple dental procedures.
• Have a low pain threshold or sensitive gag reflex.
• Have difficulty staying still for long periods.
