IV – INTRAVENOUS

IV sedation dentistry is the deepest form of conscious sedation available at our practice. We would deliver sedative medications directly to your bloodstream through an IV line. During your procedure, your dentist will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. We can adjust your dosage at any point and can use reversal medications if necessary. Most people who receive IV sedation have little to no memory of their treatment when they wake up. This option is best for people with severe dental anxiety or those who are undergoing lengthy procedures.

RA – RELATIVE ANALGESIA

Nitrous oxide is commonly known as “laughing gas.” You inhale nitrous oxide through a mask or nosepiece, and calming effects begin within three to five minutes. Your dentist controls the amount of sedation you receive and adjusts dosages accordingly throughout your procedure. Once your treatment is over, your dentist gives you pure oxygen to flush the nitrous oxide out of your system. Because the laughing gas leaves your system so quickly, you’ll be able to drive yourself home after the procedure.
