Dental anxiety or fear of dental procedures can prevent patients from receiving essential oral care. At Save Dental Orem, we offer IV sedation to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their treatments. This method of sedation allows our dentists to provide a pain-free experience while ensuring patient safety and comfort.
What Is IV Sedation?
IV sedation, or intravenous sedation, involves administering a sedative directly into the bloodstream. This method allows for a deeper level of relaxation compared to oral sedation or nitrous oxide. Patients remain conscious but feel at ease and may not remember much of the procedure. IV sedation is commonly used for more complex dental treatments or for individuals with significant dental anxiety.
Some benefits of IV sedation include:
- Faster onset of relaxation compared to oral sedation
- Adjustable sedation levels for personalized comfort
- Little to no memory of the procedure
- Reduced gag reflex and muscle tension
- A pain-free and stress-free experience
Because IV sedation is carefully monitored, patients receive the appropriate level of sedation needed for their treatment.
Safe and Professional Sedation Care
Dr. Brady Sefcik and Dr. Michael Sefcik have the training and experience necessary to administer IV sedation safely. Our team continuously monitors patients throughout the procedure to ensure their well-being. Before the appointment, we conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if IV sedation is the right option for your needs.
Patients receiving IV sedation should arrange for someone to drive them home after their procedure, as the sedative effects can take time to wear off completely. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
