Intravenous Sedation

We appreciate that some people need an extra helping hand, and so we offer intravenous (IV) sedation. This can also prove beneficial for patients who are undergoing a lengthy or complex procedure. This is a very straightforward procedure, which allows you to obtain the treatment you want in comfort with no anxiety.

Intravenous sedation involves a small injection, usually in the back of the hand. This is not uncomfortable, and will quickly make you feel drowsy and calm. You will be conscious throughout the treatment and will be able to co-operate with the dentist, although usually patients remember very little of this afterwards.
