IV Sedation
IV (intravenous) sedation is a a form of conscious sedation, meaning you will remain awake but in a deeply relaxed state throughout your procedure. Unlike general anesthesia, where patients are fully unconscious, IV sedation allows you to respond to instructions while experiencing a sense of calm. Many patients feel as though they have slept through their treatment and have little to no memory of the procedure afterward.
How IV Sedation Works
Before providing IV sedation, Dr. Jaklin Morovati will perform a comprehensive check to review your medical history, assess your dental requirements, and determine your level of anxiety. Once determined as a suitable option, the sedative is delivered directly into your bloodstream through a small IV line. This method allows for quick onset and precise control of the medication, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
During your treatment, our team monitors you closely to ensure your safety. Your breathing, oxygen levels and heart rate and will be tracked continuously to minimize any risks. Once the procedure is complete, the effects of the sedative will gradually wear off, but you may feel drowsy for several hours.
Benefits of IV Sedation
