See Why Our Patients Love Our IV Sedation

So we offer IV sedation to help patients have a comfortable experience. A lot of patients are anxious about getting dental work done. IV sedation is often used when we want to sedate somebody a little more than we can do with oral sedation.

We often do it very similarly. IV sedation helps us to be able to get someone a lot more comfortable a lot quicker than if we were to do it with a pill. Offering IV sedation allows us to help people get their dental care done efficiently and comfortably.

Say Goodbye to Dental Fear With Ultra-Relaxing Conscious Sedation

You're not alone if you get nervous just thinking about going to the dentist. It's not uncommon to feel that way. The good news, IV sedation can make your dental experience much better.

With this type of sedation, your dentist will give you medicine through a vein that lets you relax deeply. After receiving it, you may feel like you were sleeping. You likely won't remember much about your procedure after it's over. You will be continuously monitored throughout your treatment.

Dr. Despain has received the advanced training needed to offer IV sedation to his patients. It offers many benefits:

  • Works Fast - You'll feel the effects quickly, typically in less than five minutes.
  • Leaves You Responsive - While you'll feel deeply relaxed and even drowsy, you won't be asleep. You'll be able to respond to your dentist when needed.
  • Easy to Adjust - Unlike an oral sedative, Dr. Despain can adjust the amount of medication when needed.

While you'll experience less grogginess than with general anesthesia, you'll need to avoid driving and similar activities for at least several hours.

It works especially well for:

  • Wisdom Teeth Removal - Taking out these troublesome back teeth is no big deal when you're comfortably sedated.
  • Dental Implants - Getting implants placed feels much easier with sedation.
  • Multiple Fillings - Sedation allows you to fix several cavities in one visit instead of coming back multiple times.
  • Root Canals - You won't feel nervous about this tooth-saving procedure when you're sedated.

I have never had a negative experience at Skyview Dental. Recently I had 4 teeth pulled as a step towards a permanent bridge.

Commonly Asked Questions About IV Sedation

Is IV sedation the same as being put to sleep?

No, IV sedation is different from general anesthesia. You'll remain conscious and able to respond to verbal commands, but you'll feel extremely relaxed and disconnected from the dental procedure. Most patients don't fall completely asleep, though many have little to no memory of the treatment once it's complete.

How long does it take for IV sedation to wear off?

The immediate effects of IV sedation typically begin to wear off within 1-2 hours after your procedure. However, you may feel groggy for up to 24 hours. This is why we require patients to have someone drive them home after treatment and recommend resting for the remainder of the day.

Who is a good candidate for IV sedation?

Good candidates include patients with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, difficulty getting numb, or those undergoing complex dental procedures. It's also helpful for people who have trouble sitting still for long periods or those with special needs. Your health history will be reviewed to ensure IV sedation is safe for you.
