IV Sedation


A masked dentist consults with a female patient. Many dental patients suffer from dental anxiety. Sometimes this anxiety is so severe that individuals forego having dental work done altogether. Thankfully, advances in dental technology have provided solutions.

IV sedation offers a transformative approach to dental care, providing patients with a serene and stress-free experience. At Serenity Sleep Dentistry, we specialize in sleep-through dentistry, where patients remain fully asleep for their procedures. This method ensures complete relaxation, no memory of the procedure, and all dental work is completed with unparalleled care and precision.

What is IV Sedation?


IV sedation involves the administration of anesthesia directly into the bloodstream, creating a deep and restful sleep state. Unlike twilight sedation, where patients remain partially conscious, IV sedation ensures you are completely unconscious throughout the procedure. You wake up refreshed, with no memory of the treatment, and your dental needs are all fully addressed.

This approach is ideal for patients with severe anxiety, complex dental needs, or a preference for a calm and gentle experience.

How IV Sedation Works


IV sedation is performed by a licensed anesthesiologist, ensuring your safety and comfort. The process includes:
•  A pre-procedure consultation to review your medical history and develop a customized sedation plan.
•  Placement of an IV line to administer the anesthesia, allowing for immediate and controlled sedation.
•  Continuous monitoring of vital signs by the anesthesiologist throughout the procedure.
•  Waking up in a calm and refreshed state, with no recollection of the treatment.

This highly controlled and monitored process provides a safe and peaceful experience for every patient.

Benefits of IV Sedation


IV sedation offers numerous advantages, including:
•  Complete unconsciousness for ultimate relaxation
•  No memory of the procedure
•  Safe and precise administration by an anesthesiologist
•  Ability to complete multiple treatments in one visit
•  Enhanced comfort for lengthy or complex procedures

These benefits make IV sedation a preferred choice for patients seeking stress-free and efficient dental care.

Who Can Benefit from IV Sedation?


IV sedation is especially beneficial for patients who:
•  Experience severe dental anxiety or fear
•  Require extensive or multiple dental procedures
•  Prefer to avoid being awake during treatment
•  Have a low pain threshold or sensitive gag reflex
•  Seek a calm and serene dental experience

During your consultation, Dr. Thomas E. Clark will evaluate your needs and create a personalized plan to ensure your comfort and safety.
