How IV Sedation Works
After our team has helped you get comfortable in the treatment chair, we will administer the sedative directly into the bloodstream for near-immediate effects. Within a short moment, you will feel a relaxing wave of drowsiness wash over you. In some cases, our patients fall asleep during treatment, but IV sedation allows you to remain conscious so you can respond to our team throughout the procedure. During your treatment, trained experts will monitor your vitals to make sure you remain comfortable and safe.
After your procedure is completed, we will remove the IV and place you in the care of a trusted friend or family member who will drive you home. Because the effects won’t wear off for several hours, it’s important that you plan to have someone stay with you after your visit.
Who is a Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry in Dunwoody is ideal for patients who experience moderate to severe dental fear or anxiety, or for those who require lengthier or more extensive procedures, like dental implant placement. It helps calm your nerves to help you have a more positive experience at our office as well as dull any discomfort that you may feel during the procedure. Before your treatment is scheduled, our periodontists will go over your medical and oral health history to make sure you’re a good candidate for the service.
