At Dental Elements, we understand that anxiety and fear can often hinder individuals from seeking the dental care they need. This is why we offer IV sedation (deep sedation), a safe and effective technique that can help you achieve a relaxed and comfortable state during your dental procedures.
IV sedation (deep sedation) is a type of sedation administered through an intravenous (IV) line. It allows you to feel drowsy and relaxed while remaining conscious. Unlike general anesthesia, which renders you completely unconscious, IV sedation enables you to communicate with your dental team throughout the procedure.
Reduced Anxiety and Fear: IV sedation effectively alleviates dental anxiety and fear, making dental procedures less stressful and more manageable.
Comfort and Relaxation: IV sedation induces a state of deep relaxation, allowing you to undergo dental treatments without discomfort or apprehension.
Collaboration with Your Dental Team: You remain conscious during IV sedation, enabling you to communicate with your dental team and respond to their instructions if necessary.
Safe and Effective: IV sedation is a safe and well-established technique when administered by experienced dental professionals.
IV sedation is particularly beneficial for individuals who:
Experience significant dental anxiety or fear
Require complex or lengthy dental procedures
Have sensitive gag reflexes
Have difficulty controlling their movements
Have a history of traumatic dental experiences
Consultation: You will have a thorough consultation with our dentist to discuss your medical history, assess your sedation needs, and determine the appropriate level of sedation.
Pre-sedation Preparation: You will receive specific instructions on preparing for your IV sedation appointment, such as fasting for a certain period before the procedure.
Sedation Administration: Our experienced dental team will administer IV sedation through an IV line, carefully monitoring your vital signs throughout the procedure.
Dental Treatment: Once you are in a relaxed state, our dentist will proceed with your dental treatment, ensuring your comfort and well-being.
Recovery and Observation: After your procedure, you will be monitored in a comfortable recovery area until you are fully awake and ready to go home.
At Dental Elements, our compassionate and experienced dental team is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality dental care in a comfortable and anxiety-free environment. If you are considering IV sedation for your dental procedures, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our team today. We will carefully evaluate your needs and create a personalized treatment plan that ensures your comfort and well-being.
I had a long overdue deep cleaning, root canal/crown, AND fillings within a month. Dr. Thurman, Morgan, Kathy and staff were very attentive and kind with not ONLY the procedures and explanations but with checking up on me after the root canal. Also great at helping me figure out my insurance coverage and payments. Dental Elements is GREAT.
