Few of us want to be in a dentist’s chair, but throughout our lifetimes, it’s something we must do to ensure good dental hygiene. If you suffer from anxiety about dental appointments, your trusted team at Excellence in Dentistry offers IV sedation to take away your fears and make the experience more pleasant.
Whether you are having a cavity cleaned and filled or you’re having a more complex dental implant procedure, IV sedation has been a beneficial tool for hundreds of Brisbane patients to receive their treatments while relaxed, making their time more enjoyable and less stressful.
Experience Complete Relaxation
IV sedation differs from the general anaesthesia you may receive during medical surgery. While general anaesthesia renders patients completely unconscious, IV sedation keeps you in a twilight state. You will still be able to understand and respond accordingly to your dentist’s requests, all while experiencing a feeling of calmness and relaxation.
The procedure will also be less painful in general and seem like it goes more quickly. The dental work will be done, and you’ll be discharged to head home in what seems like minutes after the procedure begins.
What Are Some Benefits?
The benefits of dental IV sedation are many. It’s most helpful for patients who need implants, wisdom teeth removal, extractions, root canals, and veneers, and can also be used for more basic cleanings and checkups. It can also work well for patients who:
- Have anxiety, fears or phobia of dental procedures or needles
- Have had bad experiences in the past
- Have a strong gag reflex
If you have a hectic schedule and limited time to visit the dentist, we can use IV sedation to perform multiple operations in just one appointment.
