What Is IV Conscious Sedation?
Intravenous (IV) conscious sedation provides a high level of sedation for dental treatments and procedures. Also called twilight sedation, IV conscious sedation uses a special anesthesia mixture that's administered through an intravenous line. As a result, this form of sedation is popular for how fast acting it is, as well as its predictability. Although you're conscious and able to respond to our dentist throughout the procedure, you'll have a reduced awareness of your surroundings and time.
Some of the benefits of IV conscious sedation include:
- Reducing dental anxieties, fears, and phobias
- Ensuring max comfort during your procedure as it's easily adjustable
- Fast acting as you don't have to wait for its effects to activate
- Easily tolerated by a wide range of patients
- Allows for multiple treatments to be completed in one dental visit
Preparing for Your Procedure
At Alliance Dental Group, we pride ourselves on giving our patients the information they need to feel confident during their appointment. Before your procedure, we'll outline how you can prepare for IV conscious sedation. It's important that you have someone drive you back home and clear up your schedule for the rest of the day, as it can take some time for the sedation's effects to wear off.
We'll instruct you to refrain from eating or drinking for a set period of time before your procedure to help prevent complications. Our team may recommend wearing loose-fitting clothing so your breathing isn't restricted when administering the sedation. We'll also take this time to answer any of your questions to help ensure you don't feel like you're not getting the full picture.
