IV Sedation, also known as conscious sedation, involves administering sedative drugs directly into the bloodstream through a vein. This method allows for rapid onset of sedation, with the level of sedation easily controlled by our expert team. While under IV sedation, patients remain conscious but in a deeply relaxed state, often with little memory of the procedure afterwards.
IV Sedation provides a more profound relaxation state than oral sedatives or nitrous oxide, making it ideal for patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive procedures.
The level of sedation is closely monitored and adjusted as needed, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for each patient.
Most patients have little to no memory of the procedure, which can be a relief for those with dental phobias.
Although you will need someone to drive you home, recovery from IV sedation is relatively quick, allowing you to return to your daily activities promptly.
At Yorba Linda Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, patient safety is our top priority. Our team of highly trained experts follow stringent protocols to ensure the safest possible environment for IV sedation. Before the procedure, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.
Before undergoing IV sedation, we advise patients to avoid eating or drinking for at least 8 hours prior to their appointment. It’s also important to arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as the sedatives’ effects can impair your ability to drive safely.
